It’s that time of year again… when the words “I’m bored” start being uttered over and over again on those lazy, hot summer afternoons. Just because the kids are heading into their teens doesn’t mean they don’t still need some help brainstorming activity ideas. Today I’m sharing colorful crafts for tweens that are perfect for […]
Summer is in full swing. The long pool days, hot summer nights and popsicles on the porch have us holding on to it as long as we can. One of my favorite ways to decorate in the summer is with fresh flowers and fruit. Flowers make me so happy, and fruit is so colorful, so […]

During the holiday season, I shared a fantastic (and easy) way to add a DIY embellishment to a pair of velvet heels. Since I received a compliment nearly every time I wore them, I decided to transform another pair of shoes for the summer months. It’s only fair, right? Instead of vintage bling, this time I […]
