Mason Jar Fishy


Hi All,

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentines Day and a long weekend! My wonderful boyfriend surprised me with a beautiful Beta fish for Valentines Day. I put my fishy in a mason jar with some rocks, a tree and a castle. Although, I might have to put him into a larger jar or bowl eventually.


ALSO, I have some more exciting news! My mom and I are now selling all our signs and home décor pieces. I have not yet been able to post any of our pieces on Etsy, but we are taking orders via email. Basically, we are making whatever our clients have requested. Right now we are working on a few pieces for a wedding and some decorative signs for some new homeowners. I will post each piece we create, and I encourage everyone to request something they are dying to have for their room/home/wedding/gift. To request something you’re interested in, please contact me via email, skye.boyd@outlook.com. Also, you can always check out what I’m working on through Instagram.

Thanks for the support y’all and finally order some custom home décor pieces!

DIY Valentines Cards


One week today is Valentines Day! I have plenty of Vday crafts and recipes if you’re in need of any ideas for your special someone. You can find all my Valentines blog posts right here, VALENTINES.

Anyways, I’ve made some Valentines Cards for my west coast pals. The cards that I created are made out of all recycled paper that was lying around the house! I used red & pink construction paper, brown scotch wrapping paper, pink wrapping paper and newspaper. I also used old birthday cards for the background of my cards to prevent them from bending. I then cut out all shapes of hearts, glued them to the old birthday cards, and then I used scissors to cut a nice border around each heart card. Once each card was complete, I used black and gold sharpies to write Valentine messages on them. Super cute, super easy!


Enjoy my loves!

Valentines Framed Candy Heart


As you guys have noticed, I am extremely into Valentines Day this year! I find that the crafts are so cute and not to mention so fun and easy to make. Sunday morning I headed to my moms studio still in my pj’s determined to make the Valentines Framed Candy Heart project. A few hot glue gun burns later I was admiring my finished project.  This crafts looks more expensive than cheap, which is inspiring! Together this craft cost me $7.
The Valentines Framed Candy Hearts look excellent placed against the back splash in the kitchen, hung, or placed on a side table along with some pretty flowers or some more Vday décor.

Items you will need:
Brown Wrapping Paper
White Picture Frame
Candy Hearts
Glue Gun
Cardboard

Step 1: Make a sturdy back page for your hearts. Meaning, where the photo would usually sit in the picture frame place a piece of cardboard there so that the hearts will have something strong to sit on because the hearts end up getting heavy. Once you have the cardboard piece ready, I used brown wrapping paper as a background for the hearts. Just glue a sheet of brown paper to the cardboard.

Step 2: With the background ready, trace a large heart in pencil onto the background. The heart outline allows you to fill the heart in with the candies perfectly.

Step 3: Time to start gluing! Now you can glue the hearts on in any pattern to fill-in the larger heart. Once the hearts are glued on make sure you rip off all the excess glue strings from the hearts. Once that’s finished, put the finished product into the frame and voila!
