Make a Fireworks Postcard
This fireworks postcard is the result of several different 4th of July craft attempts that failed. In other words, it was my fall-back craft, the one you do because you know you can getter done.

The Easiest DIY Cash Envelope System
Here’s the easiest DIY cash envelope system out there. You don’t have to have any sewing skills to make this either. Save money and get organized! Several years ago I took a class that changed the trajectory of my life. A bit dramatic? Maybe. But I honestly cannot think of a single class that has…

I received a copy of this Printable Craft Pack to review on my blog. However, I would have bought this craft pack anyway, because I am a huge fan of it! I think you’re going to love it too. One of the best things about being a blogger is “meeting” other bloggers who are…
