Children’s Arts and Crafts. Competition Rampant in Crafting World. Posted on July 1, 2015. Look up competitive in the dictionary and it says, “Having a strong desire to win or be the best at something.”. That description describes crafters to a tee. It’s a DIY marathon for the most unusual and sell-worthy items. Secrets and tips are hard to share. Even with this blog and podcast people are hesitant to grant interviews and give permission for me to use photos of their work. Anything recycled is growing in...

Children’s Arts and Crafts. Tour a Remodeled Farm House. Posted on August 5, 2015. I just returned from my second annual trip to Spain and I thought I learned a lot the first time, but I learned just as much. Everywhere you look in Spain there’s something beautiful to admire. I’m so fortunate to have my own local tour guide. Nuria is my best friend. We met when she was a high school exchange student in my home town in Kansas more than 20 years ago. We bonded right away… like sisters. You have to remember...

Children’s Arts and Crafts. Home Decor Battle of the Sexes. Posted on June 25, 2015. I had so much fun during the interviews for this week’s blog. The differences between men and women are so funny, or scary depending on how you look at it. We hear a lot about money, children and the hokey pokey, but not a lot about the struggles with home decor. It’s a big deal! These days couples are waiting until they’re a little older to get married. Then there’s the decor you bring into the marriage. Then there̵...

Good Grief! I’m Overwhelmed Buying a Starter Home « DIY April
https://diyapril.com/2015/05/27/my-first-home-buying-adventure
Children’s Arts and Crafts. I’m Overwhelmed Buying a Starter Home. Posted on May 27, 2015. I have what I call first time home buyer’s disease. I don’t know what I’m doing and I know I sound like an idiot at times when talking to my mortgage lender and insurance agent. We laugh about it now. The hunt for my first home has definitely been an adventure. I’ve seen strange things. Take the picture on the left (for example). I admire the creativity with the kitchen light, but the idea failed when executed.

https://diyapril.com/2015/06/06/color-your-way-to-a-happy-life
Children’s Arts and Crafts. Adult Coloring Books Calm the Stressed Out. Posted on June 6, 2015. There’s a new craze that sounds kinda silly at first, but hear me out. Research shows that doodling improves focus and memory. Even serious publications like the Wall Street Journal. An article in Huffington Post quotes psychologist Gloria Martínez Ayala. Who said, “When coloring, we activate different areas of our two cerebral hemispheres.”. Ayala said coloring involves coordination too. The activity first be...

Pit Stops and Paint. Cherry Blossom Side Table. July 30, 2014. I have been chomping at the bits for today to come because I finally get to share a furniture project with you! Remember the amazing finds I picked up from the yesterday’s haul post? Well I was drawn to one piece in particular to focus on the transformation: the old magazine side table. Just when I was about to give up all hope, I remembered an alternative chalk paint brand I came across on a blog a few months back: Americana Decor. The color...
