The name of these cookies should be Gluten Free Funfetti Box Cake Chewy Crinkle Cookies but that was way to long so I decided on Gluten Free Funfetti Cookies. I tried making a few versions of these cookies but I finally came up with the perfect one. They’re gluten free but you would never know it by how soft and chewy they are.
Last year near St. Patrick’s Day I wrote a post about decorating with green and it’s also my favorite color so that was really fun. This year I thought it would be a good idea to write about Decorating with Gold. It’s become so popular in the last couple years and it’s an easy color to add to your existing decor. You only need a little gold to add interest and sophistication to any room. I’m going to show you some of my favorite pieces I found and then I’m going to offer you an alternative so continue to the bottom of the post for a great idea.
A new holiday is coming up so that means I get to play around with a new mantel design. If my next house doesn’t have a mantel it’s the first thing I’m going to build. I’m thinking of building one to put in my bedroom anyway. Decorating 2 mantels for every holiday or season would be even more awesome plus I’m thinking even a faux mantel would bring a bit more coziness to my bedroom. For right now I’ll just share my Gold and Green St. Patrick’s Day Mantel.
I have always thought Multi Functional Furniture was important when organizing and decorating a home, but going from a larger home to a smaller home has made me realize it even more. I’m much more selective while choosing furniture by making sure most of it has at least 2 functions. Sometimes it’s hard to find exactly what you need so I have gathered some of my favorite DIY Multi Functional Furniture pieces for this post. Make sure to visit each blog for a full tutorial.
We are out of town for Valentine’s Day so these Valentine’s Day Fruit Cups became our after school snack before we left for the weekend. Make them for your family for breakfast, brunch, or lunch on Valentine’s Day using their favorite fruits.
Can I just say I haven’t really been feeling Valentine’s Day this year. My kids are older so they don’t share Valentines at school anymore and hubby’s not here so I’ve just been slow to warm up to the holiday. Then at the end of last week I got the bug and decided to decorate a little, so I created this Glitter and Gold Valentine’s Day Mantel.
Celebrating Chinese New Year has become a tradition in our family. Our youngest son started taking Mandarin Chinese in kindergarten where he was also taught about the culture and traditions throughout the years. He now takes private lessons and his teacher makes it a priority to teach him as much as she can about her culture. I’m sharing some Easy to Make Chop Stick Wraps today that can be used for Chinese New Year or anytime you’re serving Chinese food.
If you are a regular here you know how much I love free Printables. I could decorate my whole home using the talents of my blogging friends. I’ve collected some of my favorite Valentine’s Day Printables to Decorate With and so, of course, I’m going to share them with you. You might have to print out a few, I have no idea how you are going to pick just one.
Target had some awesome Valentine’s Day items a few weeks ago so I bought this Hanging Wood Heart. I wish I would’ve bought 2 more to put on my other old window panes. I love that it looks like slats without the work, my kind of craft with all the short cuts I can get. This is so simple but it looks so glamorous. The glitter numbers make a huge difference.
Welcome to my 2016 Craft Room Tour! I’m so happy you’re here. I love looking into homes and seeing how other people live and what is special to them. Homes should tell a story of the person who lives there. I hope my home tells the story of my family. I know my craft room tells a story of what I love to do. Because we’re renting and are small on space I hope you will like the room, but also be able to get some thrifty and space saving ideas to incorporate into your own space.
