I love juju hats. I love saying "juju hat." They are those fabulous round feather pieces you may have seen around. They are actually African tribal headdresses. The texture and dimension and color make them a fabulous focal point!

"Color Blocking" is a fancy term for painting a portion of something. It is a high-impact trend in fashion and home decor that could not be easier to pull off. Today I'm making gift bags for an upcoming party but the same technique can be used on everything from flower pots to legs on furniture to wall art.

I am a fan of a well-place tassel. No, not that kind (ladies, please)! If there is a tassel to be found on an accessory, I will likely purchase said item.

My house smells insane. Every Christmas, I love to give a handmade offering to friends, colleagues and teachers that they will use long after the New Year.This year I made Rosemary Salt and I am a teensy obsessed.

When someone says they have their gifts purchased and wrapped by September, I generally want to punch her in the face. Now, I love gift giving - the shopping, the wrapping, everything! - but I like to do it in the weeks just before Christmas, mostly on account of my procrastination and such.

For as long as I can remember, when the holidays come around, I get to crafting for family, friends, colleagues and teachers. Here are some of my favorite gift idea DIYs that we've done on the blog over the past year.

Us Pinterest craft mavens recently convened over hand-stamped totes and napkins. This project was easy and so much fun with endless possibilities!

This month's Pinterest craft group was on a mission to save our coffee tables from those [back of the hand to forehead and with your best southern accent] "unsightly beverage rings."

I am thrilled to introduce our guest blogger today, the incredible Cati Teague of Cati Teague Photography. In addition to being a true creative soul and fun party guest (ask her to tell you the story about the time she super glued her eye shut), Cati is an amazing photographer.

It’s Pinterest Craft Party time! My buds and I decided to dress our spoons for spring. I mean, who doesn’t do this?

My buds, Danny, Christy and I decorated mugs for Christmas gifts.

My friend, Jessica, and I met together to do THIS PROJECT.

I discovered this project a couple of years ago and it has become one of my top 3 Christmas projects since.

The Knick-knack Nancy’s met again to craft up some goodness. 

The Knick-Knack Nancys met again to craft up something fabulous.

Some fellow Pinterest fan friends and I decided to get together and actually make some of the things we were pinning.
