Lets Make a Mess
I’m really excited to be sharing my first tutorial as a part of the Michael’s Maker’s program. Basically, each month, Michael’s challenges all of us to a specific theme. This month’s challenge is to decorate a craft pumpkin! Of course I ended out decorating mine with watercolors (big surprise!), and I love how they turned out. I actually first tried dip dying pumpkins (craft fail) and painting them with a
You know how much I love bright colors and white backgrounds right? Well I’m thrilled to be partnering with Portrait Innovations to bring you this fun tutorial.

Also, next week I’ll be sharing a fun tutorial for how to create this kind of artwork yourself (I promise it’s easier than it looks!). I sized this watercolor wallpaper for the iPhone 6+ since it’s so large, but it’s easy to
When I first started blogging, almost all of my posts were about my kids. I shared cute stories about them, little bits of advice and tips I had for other moms, and fun crafts and activities you could do with your kids.
