Okay, so maybe these aren’t exactly love bug juice boxes. Maybe, love bug juice barrels might be a better name? Either way, these love bug juices are the perfect juices for a kid’s Valentine’s Day party! For the sake of awkwardness, I’m calling them love bug juice boxes.

Coming up with a non-mushy, non-red, white, pink Valentine can be a daunting task this time of year when craft and grocery store aisles are full of red, white, and pink frilliness. I’m always on the lookout for neutral, non-traditional vessels in which to gift my Valentine. Like, this kraft-y paper heart box from the Target Dollar Spot (I think it’s called something else now?). It’s the perfect non-pink, non-red, non-frilly carrier for my Espresso Bean Valentine.
I have been discovering or I should say rediscovering my love of crafting. It has been fun to diving back in and the best part is Glitter Bug has been finding out she loves to craft as well. We recently made Christmas fabric covered canvas. This DIY Christmas Fabric Canvas is such a simple craft and doesn’t take forever.
I’ve had these DIY Vintage Snow Globes on my mind for years since I found a box of vintage Christmas baubles at an antique/flea market. I kept putting off this particular DIY craft because I thought it might be too involved. Boy, was I wrong.
Making snow globes is SO easy and takes very little supplies.

Rock Painting is taking over towns all over the country. Arkansas itself has several active rock painting groups. The concept is simple. Paint a rock and hide it somewhere. Clues can be shared on Facebook. You can also hunt for painted rocks to collect or re-hide.

It’s the middle of October and Inktober is upon us. And just like most things I had all these grand intentions of drawing and posting everyday because pen and ink is one of my favorite mediums.
Inktober is a month-long study using ink as your creative medium. Some use pens, some brushes, some colored inks and some in grayscale or even just good ole black ink. The only main rule is that you have to use ink. READ MORE…
I love Fall decorations but I have to admit that I do not have many. The Fall season goes by so quickly. I love pumpkins, so I decided to paint one or two onto a canvas to help my house look a little more like fall. I love the orange ones but I also love the white pumpkins (or gourds) too. I love how the white ones look with blue so I decided I would paint one with my favorite turquoise blue in the background. I had a 6″x 6″ deep canvas so I decided to use it because it can sit on a shelf. READ MORE
October was a Ca-RAZY month for me. Work had me like, woah! I did manage to do a lot of fun Halloween stuff over on the Desperately Seeking Gina Facebook page. I made some cute paper pumpkin candy holders on a Friday Five Live episode but never got around to sharing them here. I loved them so much I thought I’d re-imagine them into DIY Pumpkin Place Cards. It seems I’m big on making place cards for Thom and myself. READ MORE…

Like most first time homeowners, our décor budget is somewhat slim. I love seeing the years trends in glossy magazines, like the fabric wrapped pumpkins and fall leaves abound a beautiful mantle or tablescape. I could seriously let my mind take me away, my pocket book, on the other hand screams in opposition. Don’t worry, there are still ways to create some beautiful fall vignettes around your own home even on a Dollar Tree budget. READ MORE…
