Editor’s Note: This morning we have paper goddess Vanessa Falle on site creating some fabulously festive handmade paper pinecones. Get crafty:
I don’t know about you, but the holidays around our house wouldn’t be complete without a few new kid-made ornaments with which to decorate our already overburdened Christmas tree. I love how in my own collection, [...]
Family Craft – Paper Tulip Garden
One of my major small successes during the doldrums of any dark and rainy February is to brighten up the house with signs of Spring in any way humanly possible.

Make Your Own (reusable) Advent Calendar
Editor’s Note: Usually the last Friday of the month is reserved for Bevin Clempson’s witty Green-e-ology column. Not to worry, she’ll be here on Sunday talking about her conversion to reusable water bottles and coffee mugs. But, today we have a bit of a special feature that couldn’t wait.
