Hand Painted Wooden Boxes

Over the summer a good friend invited darling and I to go to Island Art Party with her and her granddaughter. I instantly fell in love with acrylics and this opened up a whole new world of crafting fun with darling daughter.

One thing about us is that we are never afraid to try something new and will always expand on what we learn. We also both have the passion to make everything around us a bit more colorful by adding personal touches. And with so much art supplies, we are always on the lookout for how to organize things.

Darling is drawn to wood boxes and we selected a few that are the perfect size for little jewelry boxes or for organizing any small treasure of your liking. To make them more snazzy, we each selected a few and hand painted the box tops with acrylics in a image that spoke to us.

Today I am featuring my Texas flag box. My inspiration was the wooden star I had painted white for another project but never used as something else seemed to fill the spot better. As I turned the star around and around in my hand I thought of the Texas flag and got to work with darling eagerly painting beside me.

Customized Treat Bags

A plus of being crafty and creative is that I can make special treats for darling daughter to hand out at her upcoming TURNING 12 birthday party! This kiddo is absolutely amazing and over the years parties have been few and far between due to the job I had at the time. Thanks to unexpected events and a new career path, I am able to be more of the mom I would love to be and am able to spend more time crafting with darling daughter....and creating fantastic, memorable moments in her life. She is also a great test client who allows me to try to create new and hopefully wonderful things. This year she picked out little treat bags that can be used to hold party favors or given out as is. Each bag was made completely in house - and that makes me happy. Darling picked what was to be embroidered on each, the fabric color, the accent borders on those with them, and the color of Kam Snap closures she wants on each. We debated different sizes as we wanted the bag to be functional in one way o...

Tie Dye Tips

Tie dye can be messy business but it is fun. My daughter is the tie dye pro and over summer break, she talked me into giving this colorful adventure I try. I splurged on a tie dye kit, bought us some plain white tees, and was instantly hooked. She wisely advised us to protect our work area with plastic and we like to do our messy craft outdoors on the picnic table. Moms, this is a MESSY fun project! You can tie dye practically anything. Beyond the tees, I made myself tie dye handkerchiefs which I love to bring to mass when I get teary eyes and my daughter has tie dyed canvas shoes and a baby pad for her horse!
