Since I was little, I have been obsessed with creating art with the most basic materials, especially paper. Being on this CutCardStock Design Team for the past year has been a great way to feed that obsession and pushing myself to try new things. My last project might be one of my favorites, and I…
I love small embroidery hoops! More often than not, I find myself picking one up from the local craft store and usually without a specific project in mind. It’s so hard to resist when they are less than two bucks each (or even less with a store coupon)! Thankfully, I came across this super cute…
At the start of every new year, I come up with a Word of the Year. This year, I’m feeling a little ambitious and setting some goals too. Truthfully, I’m writing down these goals because Lord knows I will forget them next month. Plus, I like the idea of doing a few things for myself…
I know, I know, we just celebrated New Year but I’m also very excited about Chinese New Year which is in less than three weeks! It’s the Year of the Rat! 🐭 So to get ready for the festivities, I made these super cute paper lanterns and strung them into a garland. Want to make…

October is my wedding anniversary month and I thought it would be special for my husband and I to pause, look back, and write down our favorite moments for each month this past year. We probably will finish the remaining months sometime after the new year but at least doing it now before the holidays…
My favorite holiday, Halloween, is just around the corner, and I wish you knew how excited I am! I grew up trick-or-treating with the neighborhood kids in our city’s most posh neighborhood until homeowners ran out of king-size candy bars or my pillowcase was too heavy to carry! It was practically an Olympic sport! You…
If you’ve got a little boy, you know he loves anything with wheels! So it was a no brainer my friend’s son had a Hot Wheels themed birthday party when he turned four. The little paper racecars I made were a great addition to the adorable party decor. To match Hot Wheels colors, I used…
Confession: my two munchkins are 6 and 3 now but you’ll still find me strolling and drooling over the adorable baby apparel at my local Target. I swear their clothes are way cuter than when my kiddos were babes. #notfair #butnomorekidsforus In my nesting mode with my firstborn, I made DIY closet dividers using chipboard…
