Create: custom goody bags

Sometimes you just need to jazz up those plain old paper bags and with a little washi tape and a few stamps I now have personal bags for one special grad. The plan is for party goers to have their way with a few of the grads favorite sweet treats and I must say I like how they turned out. Simple yet festive.

Making things

Did you know March is national craft month? I've been creating up a storm lately and loving every minute. Its nice to have a hobby to keep you busy, and though I am super excited about my giant craft of a knitted blanket, my fingers are incredibly tired. How do you knitters do it? I've only got about 10% done and its taken about a month already, I wish I could multitask while knitting but since both hands are in use my dvr has gotten a great workout. Have you made anything fun?
And wanted to say thanks to everyone for stopping by to check out my DIY notebook, its gotten a bit of blog love some from of my favorite crafting finds!

Put a stripe on it

I've been slowly gathering roll after roll of decorative tape without an actual project in mind {I'd say a good 50% of my projects are thought of after I buy supplies} and after seeing this super simple DIY from Adeline of Lady Croissant the wheels are turning. If you haven't jumped on the tape bandwagon what are you waiting for? Its a great way to add color to any flat surface, I've currently got art and a Valentines card being held up with yellow and orange polka dots simply because I can.
