Hi! Thanks for joing me as I share my favorite creative ideas and DIY projects with all of you. Whether it’s transforming a thrift store find or crafting something entirely from scratch, I believe that everyone can create a home they love—one DIY project at a time. Known for my love of Christmas, I delight in crafting personalized gifts and making homemade candy during the holidays. Aside from that, my favorite DIYs are paper crafts and painting projects.
