Lip Balm Holder

I have pretty dry lips so I carry my lip balm with me at all times. I make my own lip balms which I will reveal to you darlings a little later on but for now, let me share with you a tutorial to make your very own crocheted lip balm holder I spotted over at the Free People Blog. The crochet instructions are pretty easy to follow (even for a newbie like me!) so you shouldn't have any problems whipping up some. Have fun!

Cardboard Stampede

I'm a huge Ann Wood fan (I love her little handmade birdies) so I was pretty excited when I saw this craft tutorial she shared over at Design*Sponge for her cardboard horses. She actually made 100 of these little babies complete with little button joints! Recycle some cardboard boxes and customise the horses however you like with a little paint & imagination.

DIY Wedding

The wedding of Catherine & Hans simply blew my socks off folks. On a budget of $8,000 USD & within 3 months, every single detail from the invitations to the bride's wedding dress was HANDMADE - by the groom too! I love the piano & typewriter theme by the way... it's so old school-y. Read Part 1 here & Part 2 here.

Cute as a Button Cookie

One of my fave binge goodies are sugar cookies but when I stumbled onto these pictured above I knew that I wouldn't be able to bring myself to scoff these down no matter what as they're just too stinkin' cute! The recipe & instructions to make your own can be found here on GroupRecipes.

French Fried Cake?

I recently Twittered & FaceBooked (thank you TweetDeck) about eating a large bowl of fries which got some response from fellow deep fried potato lovers much to my delight (who would've thought I'm not the only one who still eats carbs!). Anyways, I just stumbled onto this little post on Jars of Cute about a French Fried Pound Cake with a step by step recipe from Parenting.com. Cake disguised as french fries? Perfection!

Michael Buble

Have I ever told you guys that I have the biggest crush on Michael Buble? Oh yes I do. Every time I hear his voice or watch him perform I get goosebumps, he's that good. He's not only adorable, talented & charismatic but he's cheeky & goofy. My fav combo ever. It helps that he sings really well too (haha). Hope you enjoy the vid above of Mr Buble singing one of my all time favorites songs "Feeling Good."

One Man Show

The singing in this video scared my cats somewhat but stick through it till the end & you'll be amazed, I kid you not. This guy has a lot of time in his hands I think...
