Do you know how much I love chocolate?
I love chocolate so much that I joke that there needs to be chocolate coursing through my system at all times. And there’s a reason that I’m in love with chocolate: It’s in my heritage!

Last week I replaced our kitchen window with a new casement window. It’s beautiful and I’m in love. But, I feel bad for the old window.
The window is sitting neglected and abandoned beside our house. Whenever I walk by, it begs me for a transformation. I’m thinking I could make any one of these ideas with the old window! Read more
Easter is just around the corner and I’m looking forward to crafting some egg-ceptional eggs with the boys. While browsing the crafting blogosphere I came across some really stunning eggs.

Are y’all sick of all my ugly construction type tutorials yet? After all the framing and drywall dust I’ve been breathing, I just wanted to put down my hammer and flex my creativity a little. The perfect project presented itself in the form of these two lamps I picked up at the Habitat ReStore for $15.
They had a white matte finish, perfect for writing on. The few scuffs were buffed off with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. (Anyone else addicted to those miracle sponges?)
Then I got down to the long and tedious work {snort laughing.} Okay, not really work, this is almost the easiest tutorial EVER!) Read more
Oh yeah Baby! Are you ready to fight for your right to create? Get ready because Creating with the Stars is coming! East Coast Creative has picked up the most popular contest in blogland and has polished it with a new name and brought in new stars (me included). Now all they need is new talent. Are you game? Can you bring your creativity and blow the blogosphere on it’s rear end? Yes?! Well then, I want to be your star! I promise to be here day or night to help you hone your ideas, give you tips and support. Then I’ll cheer — no wait — yell until I’m hoarse for your sweet victory!
It’s time to show off those handy skills and flex your creativity to win…
Here’s how it all works:
Submit one project that shows everyone your best stuff into the linky party on East Coast Creative that will begin on February 5th. Projects must have been made October 1, 2011 or later and must be your own work. You have until February 21st to enter. From those entries, 12 of you will be chosen by the blog stars and EC2 as contestants and will be randomly paired up to work one-on-one with a Blog Star, to duke it out in a four-week competition to see who’s the most creative. The Star will give suggestions, ideas, encouragement, and help so you can come up with the best project possible. Each round will have a theme and the bottom three will be eliminated based on reader votes. Once the contest is started, weekly projects are anonymous, so big blogger or rookie, everyone’s on the same, even playing field! Find your favorite project to link up and be prepared to put your best foot forward if you want to survive!
