Golden Lusciousness // A Favor

Hello, friends! I have a small favor to ask of you.

I normally don't make posts like this (especially since this is a crafting blog), but I am making an exception for a very special person.

My beautiful and talented friend/roommate Kyla has made it to the top 25 of a CW Star contest.

She has a personality as big as her hair, which she lovingly refers to as the "golden lusciousness."

Not only is she gorgeous on the outside (we seriously can't walk down the sidewalk without at least one guy checking her out), but she has a great heart and is truly one of the most kind, fun to be around, caring people I know.

She would be so perfect for this! Please just take a few seconds and go to the link below. The video is only 26 seconds long and if you watch it from start to finish, she gets a vote. If you click replay, she gets another vote so feel free to put it on repeat if you have the time!

The 10 with the most votes continue on! I'll be sure to keep you all posted on the results.


This is her:

Thank you all for voting! It means a lot to me (and Kyla!).

You're the best! :)

Gold Triangle Earrings // DIY

Happy Sunday!

If you missed last week's Number Pillow DIY, I highly recommend you go check it out!

Today I have an incredibly simple project for you all, which you're going to love!

Check out these cute gold triangle earrings!



I found these cute gold triangles at Michael's in the jewelry clearance. Although the concept of this project is quite simple, it just goes to show that simple, cheap crafts can look just as good as the fancy ones!

Read on to learn how to make them!

Number Pillow // DIY

Happy Sunday!

My mom came to visit me this weekend and we went to the Country Living Fair here in Columbus, which was AWESOME to say the least. We went last year and loved it, so we have been looking forward to this for a year and it was definitely worth the wait!

This is what we are making today:




My mom and I were out at some yard sales in Columbus earlier in the summer and we came across this:

What is it? We didn't know. We actually still don't know.

But it's basically like really thick, off-white belting type stuff. There was 50 yards of it and we got it for $3.00, making it 6 cents a yard. We don't really know why we bought it, but we knew it had to be useful for something!

I can't take credit for this awesome idea of this number pillow - it was my mom's idea. So all the credit for the creativity of this project goes to her!

Brooch & Costume Jewelry Necklace // DIY

Hello again, friends! I hope you had a fantastic week. Ready to see what we're making today?

Lately I've been loving bib necklaces with beautifully intricate details.

So I decided to make one for myself (on a budget!)



Thank you to my beautiful roommate & friend Melody for modeling! :)
