DIY Smash Book
I’ve been seeing these “mixed media journals” AKA SMASH books everywhere – they have them at the craft store, in blog posts – everyone has one, but no one can really explain what it is.

DIY Motivational Printables
I have a confession…I’m NOT a morning person. It takes three alarms on my phone plus some gentle nudging and not-so-gentle prodding from husband to get up in the morning. So I decided to put up some motivating posters to help me wake up in the morning.
DIY Owl Wall Art
This is my second owl craft in about three weeks, so I guess you can probably tell that I like owl stuff. I recently moved into a new apartment and the walls are pretty bare, so I thought, “Why not make some owl stuff to put on the walls?”
