Spray Painted 4th of July Shirts I love making shirts for my kids, especially for the 4th of July. It’s fun to have them wear it to the parade. This year I decided that it would be fun to let them make their own shirts instead of me making it for them. Sometimes it’s hard…
Father’s Day Footprint Shirt {Cartridge giveaway}
Every year I like to make my husband a shirt for Father’s Day. I usually do handprints, but my little baby is only 6 weeks old and he is still in the tight fist stage. It would be super hard to get him to open his hand. So I decided to do footprints instead. I…

Mud Room Makeover
Our house has a bunch of different entrances. We use the front door and then the door that is down in the basement, into what we call the mud room. There are actually two more but we really don’t use those. During the school year, the kids would come home and just dump everything on…
Handmade Baby Annoucements

Do you a dark room or a neglected room in your house? Mine was our family room. It’s in the basement, no one ever sees it really, so I put it off and didn’t do anything with it. Then one day I decided that it was time to spruce it up and make it look…
