Summer makes me want to eat all the fruits. And while I can’t say no to a classic smoothie or fruit salad, making these fruit spring rolls for eHow might very well be the highlight of my month. After all, I’m all about recipes that take traditional foods for an unconventional spin. Take spring rolls, for example. …
A few days ago, I shared a gingerbread whiskey truffle recipe made with an old gingerbread house. I decided to keep it going… in a gingerbread pie crust. I mean, you’ll only need so much to make the truffles. There’s probably going to be a ton leftover. So why not take it up a notch and make a …
Appetizers are my favorite. They’re easy to make, serve, and most of all… EAT! In the midst of all the holiday festivities, I thought I’d share one of my latest guides at Fix.com. This one is all about cheap DIY appetizer ideas, from stuffed mini peppers (yum) to tortellini skewers (yes, please). Need a recommendation? The …
Somewhere along the line, pom poms took over the design world. Specifically, I’ve seen pom pom key chains absolutely everywhere, from Forever 21 to Barneys New York. Of course, I couldn’t help but set out to make my own…. with studs. Naturally. My latest project at Darice is a studded fur pom pom key chain …

Everything seems 10000x more awesome when there’s food involved. I like my projects like I like my puns… food related. Recently, I made these hilariously …
I’m all about edible gifts during the holidays. Maybe it’s the minimalist side of me that believes people don’t need meaningless stuff, stuff, and more stuff. And while I can totally back a DIY gift made with thought and care, an edible present can be enjoyed in more ways than one. Recently, I tried my …
One of my latest pieces at Extra Crispy had me on a mission to make a week’s worth of breakfast with Trader Joe’s groceries. Easy enough, right? Well, the catch was that I had to spend under 20 bucks. I was able to pull it off by spending $19.50 (on the dot) and even had some …
Skulls, jewelry, home decor… these are a few of my favorite things. My latest DIY at Darice brings together these three elements, plus metallic gold! I’m swooning over here. Besides, there is a 120% chance I would make this during any time of the year. I go crazy around the Halloween season. Head to Darice’s …
Love succulents? Yeah, so do I. Head to Weddingbee for my latest darling tutorial, a succulent boutonniere. Hope you love it as much as I do!
While I don’t necessarily have a green thumb (yet), I adore the heck out of plant life. Using flowers in crafts is one of my favorite things to do. And since I love food just as much… why not extend the botanical beauty? Over at Dirt Mag by Dig Inn, I shared some ideas on …
