Make a cute 4x4 accordion album from 1 sheet of 12x12 cardstock in minutes

Between practices and games, coming up with quick meals that my family will actually enjoy and isn't just something unhealthy, can be tricky. I tend to just make the same things over because I know

I will be the first to admit I do love wearing aprons. There's just something about them.  They make me feel like I actually know what I'm doing when it comes to baking, housework and all things domestic.  The fact that basically I just wing it when it comes to being a domestic goddess is…

I'll say that again. The Sephora Cream Lip Stains ($14.00) make me want to abandon all other brands of liquid lipstick. You heard that right. Now will I actually do it? Nah. I like shiny new things too much and I'm way too impulsive of a person for that to happen…

My list is ever growing, but that is a good thing seeing as a lot of things get checked off it quite often! All photos are from Perfect Bucket List via Tumblr, but I found most of them on Pinterest.

Blue Eyed Beauty is part of this life goal...but I have no control over the popularity of this blog which is the cool part! Dance with my kids in the rain. I want to make lots of memories with my children! Donate my hair to locks of love. When I was young I had really long hair. One day I decided I wanted short hair so I chopped it all off.

Silly goal, but I'd like to do it at least once. Find the perfect little black dress. I've found a few which were close, but still don't have one. Finish an afghan.

This should be easy since I will never cut it again! Make gingerbread men. Hopefully this winter! Make homemade ice cream. I hope to find a recipe that doesn't call for raw eggs so I can actually eat it too! Make my own chocolate. I've found some recipes, but need to find the ingredients! Make my own jam.

Meet Miranda Lambert. Please, and thank you! Meet Nastia Liukin. She is amazing! Open my own business. Still undecided on what it will be, but I'm pretty sure this will happen one day. Order an entire cup of whipped cream at Starbucks. This is a goal which will be semi-hard to do any time soon since I live nowhere near a Starbucks anymore. Sad day.

8 Things that will actually make running easier

I finished the Baba Yaga Hut (seen in progress here.) I'm pretty excited about it - it turned out pretty good, though I did learn a few things, like making legs that actually hold things up is difficult! More on my blog here - leahs-stuff.blogspot.com/2011/02/baba-yaga-hut-completed.... This is based on Melissa Sue's Baba Yaga hut that I saw in Stuffed magazine - I couldn't buy one, so I wanted to make one for myself! (And yes, I am looking up how to clean the lens of my camera, geez! I will post cleaner pictures later).

So in keeping with my easy and simple approach to holiday decor this year, today I'm sharing a vintage book page Christmas banner that you can get done in a jiffy. And to make things even better this project will cost you pretty much nothing. Good news, right? Yesssss. I actually have a banner just like this

Automotive Editorial Photography will teach you many things. Mostly though, it'll teach you how to make something out of nothing and how to operate quickly and efficiently. I can't tell you how many times I've shown up to shoot a car only to be told it can't be moved from where it sits. It's those situations that will really test your mettle as a photographer and I've actually

A little change can make a big difference.

I like to hand make things. So as you can imagine, my Jew-ish wedding was awash with loads of hand made touches. I always make big plans to create all manner of complicated items for an event, but inevitably I will pare it back and choose a more simple design or technique.

About a month before the wedding I realised I didn’t quite have enough time to make 140 candles and opted for a more crowd-pleasing miniature bottle of a favourite alcoholic drink, with a hand-lettered tag.
