The summer is officially over. Very sad how time continues to speed up. It’s amazing how quickly it passed by and there was some major minimalist crafting that occurred without any corresponding posts. This article is an overview of all the summer easy Cricut Crafts, gifts, and other projects that were made without corresponding articles and posts because of the lack of time in my days and weeks over the summer. I need your help to let me know in…
Happy Halloween! It is crazy how fast time flies. If you’re anything at all like me, the month of October has come and practically gone in the blink of an eye. It’s definitely true that the older I get, the faster time passes. Everything seems to speed up and get busier. But, there I go off topic. In this post I’m going to share some fun things we did to celebrate Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays because…
This super easy and affordable Moana hair tie DIY is an awesome idea as a favor for your Moana themed party. It would also work as little gifts for kid’s classmates (like for Christmas or Halloween) and as fish extender gifts. I made them for my daughter’s Moana themed birthday. It’s so easy and it’s a great project to do with kids. I’ll show you how simple it was and also list the rest of the favors I got for…

My wonderful and amazing mom is pictured below as they were finishing up their beautiful creations. There were 2 different types of butterflies…
This post is all about the DIY twin loft bed we just made for our daughter. I’m very proud of it because it turned out just like the vision I had in my head. The best thing is how much both of my kids LOVE it and how much it has improved the storage and organization in her room. My hope is that my loft building experiment will show you how easy it would be to DIY your platform or…
Time for Easy Fish Extender Gifts We had an amazing time on our Disney Wonder Cruise to Alaska and a huge part of what made it so fun and magical was the Fish Extender gift exchange we participated in. The kids loved getting little gifts in our custom Fish Extender every day and this post is all about the gifts we gave out to our fish extender group. All the stuff we got in return was amazing and the amount…
Disney Cruise DIY Minimalist DIY I have decided to coin the term minimalist DIY for my arts and crafts projects. This is because due to time constraints, because of my full time job, all of my projects are done with the minimal amount of time, supplies, and effort necessary. I’ve basically done all the research on Pinterest, Google, Etsy, etc. for you to show you how I produced a great craft and product with minimal investment. What is a Fish…
