Look at this beautiful present from my daughter.... Oh and look...there's another... and yet another one!!! YAY! There's lots, actually...enough for a tea party! These are the beautiful byp...
This cutie is our newest giddy girl!! Excuse me while I get lost in her big brown eyes...
Ooodles of old stuff and vintage ephemera are being finally put to use! We're having fun making multi-dimensional art and assemblages!
Our kid's public school hosted a beautiful children's gallery night. Well my sweet daughter submitted what she calls her "magic box"... but as you can see, it looks more like th...
I know I know...not much going on over on this blog. What kind of journal of creativity is this, anyway?! Well...I guess you can say that I'm sort of preparing the soil and soaking up the fertil...
This pot was purchased nearly 20 years ago at a student craft show. It has survived a dozen moves, has been stored and neglected for years, and then sadly relegated to being a lowly paint brush conta...
I've long dismissed crayons as one of the crappiest art mediums available...and one that wasn't even fit for children. The only reason we even had a bag of them was for melting those sucker...
My daughter has made her intention clear...thankfully she's too young to know about resolutions. But she's been asking for us to help her make a little store to sell her linoleum prints...n...

In the midst of a hectic week, I caught a glimpse of my daughter working on her personal project: drawing a 2000 petal flower. She was so dilligent and deliberate about drawing and counting each pet...
Hello there! I'm in the midst of lots DIY stuff, and even a little bit of recreational painting! Here are a few handmade ornaments that my girls and I made for our tree. Hope you and your famil...
These are pictures of beautiful people I will never have the opportunity of meeting. But thanks to Kiva, I have the priviledge of making a small loan to each of them which I believe will have far rea...
Recently my mind was abuzz with a bunch of craft project ideas. One of my ideas required 15 empty detergent jugs, another idea demanded 8 feet of high gauge chicken wire, and yet another required th...
small magazine has just released their *20th* issue. The first issue launched in 2007. In internet years, that's a very very long time! The dynamic duo that is Christine and Olivia were in fact...
Hooray! I just scored myself this old French craft book entitled, Oh, Les Mains, by Noelle Lavaivre. Every single project in this book involves using the hand as basic shape template. So quirky and...
I am on a mission to fill my walls with more art. I've been preparing a bunch of canvases and surfaces and am so excited about what they will become and how they will decorate my home. Here is ...
Wow.. my brain has spontaneously spit out, not ONE, not TWO, but *FIVE* creative project ideas. Really, brain? You're never there when I actually need you. But you decide to overwhelm and distra...
I just designed a few new gift cards (3 of the 4 are new) to make giving GIDDY GIDDY Extra Extra Cute!
This medium represented the great uncharted territory for me. Although I did teach my own kids how cut a linoleum block, I did so in a didactic sort of way and based on THIS BOOK, rather than from pe...
Teeny tiny piñata made for instant pop-up parties! By the way, last year's elaborate DIY instructions for (regular sized) pinatas are HERE (GIDDY GIDDY DIY PINATA).
We are still experimenting with lighting and camera over here... this photo of an antique doll is one of my favorites from a series of photographs we took in the dark. Hope your Halloween was epic. O...
My husband and I were indulging in some photography experiments recently; one flower shot in 4 different light settings. He was responsible for all the technical stuff, but I'm taking full credi...
This season we are making faces that magically tranform right before your very eyes! For those of you who are parents, it's probably not that big of a stretch to imagine your little angels turn ...
painting little circle thingies... gluing little magnet thingies on back... enjoying snazzy magnets for my fridge...
Miss A worked on her first ever little softie ( with just a little bit of sewing machine help from me). She couldn't wait to stuff her little pony. All softie and doll makers can probably rela...
We collected quite a lot of acorns on a recent hike... ...then we jumped on the felted acorn bandwagon and made these...
