I am so excited about my new online store (ShopLauraKelly) and how much fun others are having creating with my kit, printables and designs.

A few of my bloggy friends used the kits to create projects and I am stunned at what an awesome job …
NOOOOOOO! Who threw this away. Don’t these kiddos know that the bestest most awesomest chipboard ever is the backing from these sketch pads? This is the perfect size for a recycled sketch pad cover writing mat! Seriously, I need one. My picnic table did not get waterproofed in time and it is uneven. Yes, we need to replace the top boards. No, it is not happening this week. Sooooo….I solved …
Father’s Day is coming up fast! Hand painted ceramics for daddy make great gifts for two reasons. First, daddies love things that are made by their kiddos.

I love live plants, flowers and trees. I have a deep admiration for my friends with green thumbs and beautiful gardens. I try. I really do. Sometimes I get spectacularly lucky and things grow. The truth is that I have had the best luck with geraniums on the front porch. While I was at SNAP a couple of weeks ago, I was the lucky recipient of these adorable artificial succulent …

Meet my little crocheted witch friend that arrived in a box on my front porch on Thursday evening. I opened the box and about did flips when out of the bubble wrap emerged this adorable, green, darling little witch. My new friend that I made through social media (I know, crazy, right?!@??!), Sarah from Repeat Crafter Me made her for me. It was sort of a crafty friend exchange. I doodled …

One of the best things …
