I saw this gorgeous reel by Clymdraws that showed a lovely folded paper greeting and was so inspired to try making one myself. This is a lovely origami craft because the folding pattern is so simple and you can use this design to make cards for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day.... or any holiday, really. Directions are below. Enjoy!

DIY Pressed Flowers in a Floating Glass Frame Craft
I love seeing the pretty flowers on our neighborhood walks and hikes, don't you? Maybe that's why I adore making pressed flower crafts. This past month we've made pressed flower wooden trays and moon and star contact paper suncatchers. And today I'll share some lovely pressed flower glass frames that the boys and I made. These came out so pretty, I think they'd be perfect to keep, or give away to someone special.

Cute Clay DIY Air Plant Troll Pots
Hi friends! Many apologies. It's been a long time since I last posted. Let's just say that the pandemic and other personal projects have really worn me out and I've found it difficult to find the time and energy to craft.
One thing that I have done to get me through these difficult times is watching houseplant and succulent videos. I have no idea why, but seeing people talk about plants really soothes me. So today I'm popping in to share these adorable Clay Air Plant Troll Pots that I recently made. They are adorable and hopefully, they'll brighten your day too!

3D "I Love You" Hand Craft (And our Favorite Books about Love)
I've just been so caught up in what's happening in our country and world that I haven't fully had the heart or energy to embrace doilies, flowers, chocolate, hearts.... basically anything Valentine's yet. But today I'm turning a new leaf. Here's my first Valentine's day craft of the season... these 3D "I Love You" Hands.
(They're not quite hearts and flowers and pun-ny sayings.. but it's a start, right?)

Easy DIY Marbled Clay Covered Pens
I'll be honest. I wasn't too hopeful about the results. Plastic pens in ovens? Urmm... I worried that they would catch on fire... or melt. But it didn't happen! We turned a couple of el-cheapo-freebie pens into some fancy-shmancy marbled ones. Ooh la la! Aren't they gorgeous?
