This blog is divided into these different sections as follows:

Don’t Buy When You Can DIY!
I’m not trying to discourage anyone here from shopping at the “big box” stores, but when it comes to decor items….do you ever find yourself thinking “I could make something about as nice as that; if not more so” That’s when you know you’ve had one of those “DIY moments”. Whether the supplies to make something are cheaper or you just don’t like the look or feel of art that came off some assembly line, take heart! You’ll find lots of great ideas and things to do in this section.

Recommended Tools and Supplies
I will give you the skinny on the types of materials I use to create those and other works of mine. Materials I use on a daily or regular basis to make things. Not to mention how and where to find good deals on those materials too. I use lots of materials in my repertoire so I am open to requests.
Do you know what it takes to shop for supplies and not end up bewildered at which tool does what? Read my guide here for smart shopping.
And if you want to see the best tools all in one place – check out my Resources page for the full scoop.
Learn How I Do The Fun Things I Do!
The Tutorials and How-to’s section will give you everything you need to know about if you ever want to follow along on a project or idea. Whatever your skill level you’re sure to find something of interest that you’ll want to dive right into. I also cover how-to’s for art and craft procedures to make your life easier as well, like how to take care of your materials (since you don’t want to be replacing them often.)
