I went thrift store shopping the other day and was a little disgruntled {I just like that word} because I just wasn’t finding anything that excited me too much at all. There are always thrift store days like that – I like to call them my “thrifty misadventures”.
I was calling it quits when I saw these brand new, never worn Mossimo {Target} heels for $2.00 and they happened to be just my size. Fate? [click to continue…]

You might already know that I love thrift store shopping, finding good deals and repurposing the things we already have.
And, since I also love budget crafts and DIY ideas, this may be one of my favorite projects EVER. I am in love with how these pieces turned out and I am pretty excited to share this super easy DIY Mercury Glass tutorial today over at my my friend Ruth’s site, Living Well, Spending Less. Ruth is truly a “money saving maven” and she is also one of my blogging heroes!
It really is so easy that even a cave man crafty Mom (or Dad) can do it.
Pop over and see how I did it HERE!

We have another special guest here today at ALC! Cindy is here from Little Miss Celebration sharing a super crafty and creative idea {and can you say BLING??}.
Hello and happy Friday, everyone! I’m Cindy and I blog over at Little Miss Celebration. I’m definitely happy and excited to be here at A Little Claireification. Claire, thank you so much for having me today!
There are many days when I wind up wearing the same earrings or other jewelry because I just scoop up whatever I took off the night before! Do you ever do that? It’s not that opening the jewelry box takes so much effort – it’s just that I tend to go with “what I see.” I also have a lot of vintage jewelry that is so pretty and I do like to wear it – I just need to see it!

Just based on the title you might be asking yourself “Has it really come to this? Toilet Paper Roll Wall Art, Claire??”. The simple answer is… ”Yes. Yes, it has”. (and don’t judge me).
I am not a hoarder or a bag lady or anything like that but I did get “the look” from The Husband while I was collecting the empty rolls. I got asked more than once if it was trash.
Back off, trash man. ”I… am a crafter!!” (for the record, this is NOT more convincing when said in a lofty voice. There might have been a few eye rolls).
We’re a family of five, mind you, so collecting this stash took a week. Maybe less (I’ve shared too much… lol ). Anyway, I am SUPER excited to be sharing this “How To” today over at Live. Laugh. Rowe. (fabulous!!) so just go ahead and pop on over and see how I made it HERE! [click to continue…]

But before we get into the project…first things first!!

There’s this spunky, crazy awesome gal I know named Jen Marrs and her BIRTHDAY is today (woohooo!) so I wanted to make her something extra special, just like her! Have you ever met anyone who is just so awesome-sauce, rockstar cool – someone that makes you laugh and you just want to be their best friend?? Me too and I married him.
But my fabulous {{BIRTHDAY GIRL}} Jen is truly just that as well. Just a few “faces of Jen”…. [click to continue…]
