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…]

Welcome to Day #5 of our “Spring Fling” series!!
First, I am super excited to be headed to Dallas today for the “Blissdom” conference! I am Texas bound, y’all! I can’t wait to connect with some of my “Bloggy” friends again and to also finally meet some of my other favorite online friends in person for the first time. It is going to be a blast!
And it has already been a great week so far!! I teamed up with some AMAZING gals and they have been sharing some fun ideas for Spring and Easter all week.
Yesterday Cheryl shared her DIY Flower Topiary and now it’s my turn to wrap this party up with an easy and budget friendly Spring Wreath and some really cute Spring Votive Holders which are {kind of} a Pier One knock-off! [click to continue…]

Can you tell this Irish girl is loving the St. Patrick’s Day crafts? For Valentine’s Day I hit the dollar store and made some super cute and cheap dish towels.
For St. Patrick’s Day I wanted to make some easy dollar store hand towels for the guest bathroom. Using dollar store white hand towels, a little green ribbon and some of the leftover fabric from my St. Patricks Day throw pillow, I was able to make these for just over $1 / towel!

I’ll tell you a little secret (and I don’t care if you tell, either!). I LOVE kitchen towels. I hope that doesn’t make me a shallow person, but sometimes it’s the little things in life that bring us joy, no? Fresh brewed coffee… a clean dish towel? It’s so hard for me to pass by the rows of brand spanking new and cute (not to mention clean) dish towels whenever I am at Target or wherever. Williams~Sonoma? Oh please don’t let me loose in there. And maybe it’s just because we are in the kitchen so much that the dish towels always seem to be perpetually dirty… maybe that is what makes me love new, clean towels all the more. Let’s go with that. [click to continue…]
