CST care packages

I can't help it, I love giving gifts!  So... it's California Standards Tests (CST) next week for our students at the teen center.  I have a small group of high school leaders that meet with me weekly and I felt they may need a lil somethin' somethin' to inspire them to give a crap during testing.  They are called the Ambassadors and I made them these cute care packages.

That's all, just thought I would share.

life in boxes

This is the view from our couch!  I expect to be rather busy for the next few days, but trust me once this move is all over I will get back to crafting and blogging.

Along with moving our life across town, I am also helping my college roommate with her wedding.  Expect some inspiration photos from her wonderful DIY wedding (at a venue I know well - Leo Carrillo Ranch).

easter basket {in a jar}

I sent my adorable little sister this easter basket {in a jar}.  She's totally an adult but I still love to spoil her like a little girl!

This was a very simple project.  Using a pint sized mason jar; fill it with crinkle cut shred, jelly beans and 2 travel size items from Bath & Body Works.  On the top I made a fabric flower out of an old t-shirt and added a safety pin to the back so she could use it again. I also used this really cool adhesive ribbon tape from Martha Stewart.

I've stumbled across something amazing...the Inside BruCrew Life blog.  I think you will understand once you take a look at these photos.
