So I made this project a couple of years ago to share with Eighteen25 readers, and I'm just now posting the directions here. No time like the present, eh? I recently visited The Graphics Fairy and got lost in all the awesome graphics she offers! I spotted this bat print and knew it had to be mine. I printed out a large picture (20×24) of it from Sam’s club for $8.00. I went to Lowe's and … [Read more...]

Valentine’s Paper Cake
My little one is in her last year of elementary school, so this is her last Valentine's party. We came up with something a little snazzy for her Valentine's box this year, and it was quite easy to do! How 'bout a little Valentine's cake? The supply list is quite simple. I bought a couple of hat boxes for 50% off at Hobby Lobby. I removed the lid from the top one and flipped it upside down. … [Read more...]
Finger Knitting
So I put a picture on Instagram of me doing some finger knitting. I wasn't even going to write a post on it, but then I kept getting e-mails from people asking about it. Shows how clueless I can be, eh? To say that knitting is foreign to me is an understatement, so I was pretty skeptical that this would work. Well by-golly it did! I sat down with a skein (I looked that up) of yarn and spent a … [Read more...]
Cheap Halloween Decorations
Happy Monday! Fall is here (woo hop!), and I've been doing a little Halloweening around the place. I'm not decorating the mantel this year (gasp!!), so a little vignette in the dining room will have to do. It's rather unhealthy how drawn I am to Halloween decor, so I vowed to purchase the least expensive items I could find. That, of course, forced me to be a little creative with how I used … [Read more...]
Easter Bunny Craft
I'm not much of a spring decorator around here, but I do love a touch of something around the house. Aaaand since I can't always find what I like in stores, I decided to just make my own decoration. My living room decor doesn't necessarily call for "frilly", so I wanted to make something that looked like Easter without looking like Easter. You pickin' up what I'm layin' down … [Read more...]

Halloween Advent
I feel like I've left some loose ends on this blog lately, so I'm here to fill you in on a few things. 1. You ladies do NOT disappoint. You have aided me in my mission to get my mom blogging, and I finally broke her--I mean, convinced her. I think she was so overwhelmed by your positive responses, she knew there was no going back. She's already getting excited about what to call it and how to … [Read more...]
