Coasters

Hi Everyone!

I was recently looking through pinterest and a few craft blogs for a good simple craft when I stumbled upon this.  It's a really fun and easy way to make coasters with only two supplies.

So let's get started...

I got these paint pens from Michael's in both blue and silver in case I wanted to try different colors.  Unfortunately, the silver paint pen ended up looking very translucent on the cork.

I found these cork coasters from my local craft store, Beverly's.  I didn't look to see if Michael's had these but I'm sure that you could find them in most craft stores.  They also had square coasters if you like that shape better.

I just got creative with my designs and had fun with it! So there you go! Simple and waterproof coasters!

Thanks for stopping by!

Graduation!

Hey Everybody!

I hope you're all doing well during this month of June! I graduated this past weekend and I can't tell you how much all your love and support means to me.

At my school, there is a tradition to decorate your graduation cap. I'm not sure if this technically qualifies as a craft but there was puffy paint involved so I think I can count it as a craft for this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

It's Finally Happening

Happy Valentine's Day! This is officially my first post on my new blog! I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to blogging so bear with me as we go on this blog extravaganza together!

To begin this very first post of mine, lets talk about love. I'm sure a few of you groaned when you read that last sentence but what can I say, I'm a sucker for anything romantic. Yesterday was Valentine's Day which meant the future school teacher inside me decided to wear a pink t shirt to celebrate the day. And as you'll soon find out, I'm a bit of a nail polish geek so of course, I had to paint my nails to match the holiday.  To get the heart effect on my nail I used Konad stamping plate m46.

I also like to be quite crafty which leads me to my next point in this post. I think the best way to show someone how much you love and care for them is not to buy them the most expensive and flashy thing on the market but rather, make them something. I've recently really been getting into homemade gifts because they're extra thoughtful for the people you love. Plus its usually a lot cheaper so if you're a college student like myself, you're all about cheap goodies. This Valentine's Day I made my (super cute) boyfriend a candy card. A friend of mine had made me one back in middle school but I couldn't remember what she wrote so I googled some ideas and ended up tweaking most of them so they were perfect for a Valentine gift.

I probably should have given him an appointment to see the dentist too. 

Anyway, that's all I have in regard to lovey doviness so come back next time for some more goodness!
