Hi and welcome back to my blog. Thank you for returning and if you are new thank you for joining my blog family.I just wanted to come here to explain my temporary absents. Ive been working on a lot of crafts. I took a couple of days off from my blog to work on some craft ideals. My daughter and I not only spend a day crafting,but we video tape them for my you tube channel. I know Ive been talking so much about this channel,but I’ve been recording videos so now its just a matter of uploading and editing. I want to have enough videos so I can download at least two a week and still have time to blog as well as craft. Its been harder lately because I’m working full time now.My hour at my job is not a constant schedule,so some days I’m there early,mid or late shifts. So I’m trying to take at least one of my days off to craft and hopefully I will take a half of a day off to write my blogs for the week(fingers crossed).
I do think that as of late,Ive been doing a little better because of better planning,and from here it should only get a little better. So I hope everyone is doing well and crafting their best life,and I will leave you like always
Keep Crafting.
My original plan was to make one unit out of the tables and stick them together with the Gorilla glue tape. But as you know in the crafting world things change all the time.
This is what I had my modem and router sitting on, which at the time made sense, but to me it made the area look unfinished.
This is what the area look like now. The table is neater and I added a storage box from five below to add storage. The other table I decided to use for a bedside table for my charging station. It worked out because it doesn’t construct the desk and I can still reach my cell phone and other items I’m charging when I’m sitting on my bed.
It also I place where I keep my preplanning items,as well as book and my lava lamp which I use as a bedside lamp when I’m laying in the bed catching up on videos. Well I hope you enjoyed this blog,and pease look out for my room tour video coming soon.
This is the size I orginally purchased from Lowes. I wanted to added it to a large picture frame, so i wouldnt have to mount it to the wall. This is an rental apartment and I didnt want to add holes I would have to patch and paint if I ever decide to move. So I went to the Well of Hope thrift store and purchase this picture which I shared in a haul.
The problem with this ideal is I should have brought the frame first because the frame turned out to be about 2 inches wider than the peg board. I tried to cut and patch the peg board to fit,but to no avail it wouldn’t work. So I went with mother idea.
I decided to use this piece as a smaller beg board. So i place this one in the area I wanted to hang it to see if it would fit.
I than placed the pegs i wanted to use on the board. I than started to add my craft tools on the board to see how I will organize them. I wanted to make sure I had the right pegs for the right tools You know this took trial and error. 
After getting a somewhat ideal in how I wanted to organize my tools, I took out my waverly chalk paint int the color pool, my paint tray and roller and proceeded to paint my peg board. It took two coats and two days and yes it still needs one more coat,but I’m thinking about doing it another color.
This is what it looked like with one coat of chalk paint.
This is what the finished peg board look like install on the wall.I used command hooks as well as gorilla tape to hold it to the wall,but besides the paint job, I think it came out quite nice. I have all my tools accessible when I need them and not taking up space in my craft draws.
I recently start using the big happy planner and stickers for the planner are getting hard to find. So I decided to try making my own.Like everything there will be trial and error,but for my first try,I dont think they are too bad. So Thursday was Valentine’s Day. I shared my living space decor. 
We just added some heart on the wall and made some sweetheart message hearts.I just you can say my we put our hearts on display.
I also shared by table arrangement and my pen holder on my desk which I will keep as is on my desk. I will probably remove the heart picks and add Easter egg picks or flowers. I just loved the vase and didn’t care it was Valentine themed.Yesterday blog was a small haul.Not much happening there,just a few items for decor and items I needed.
So that’s what has been happening this week. Next week have so many projects planned and of cos I will share them with you so stay tuned. Also I’m coming to the end of my room redo. I hope to sharing that with you as soon as a week or two. My plan for my room reveal will not only be a blog,but I will be recording it for my channel. The video will just show the room after,but the blog will share more details.So stick around because all will be revealed soon.I will now leave this blog like always ,
See it was a very small haul. I picked up 3 things for future crafts and the others was just needed items. Lets start with need items. Pillow case, I recently purchased more pillows for m bed and as you know full sheet sets only come with two pillow cases. I need two more and I picked them up to match my sheet.The next item were stones. I had purchase a galvanize window planter and I wanted to transfer my plants to it. I wanted to use the stones for drainage. The last two items are folders and clips. The two items for decor elements was the ribbons and the form eggs. I will be using the ribbon for a wreath and the eggs will be added to the wreath for Easter decor than I will add flowers to the wreath using the same ribbon for spring and summer decor. When the time come I will probably add spring and summer flowers to the wreath. So that my really really small haul. I also want to add I’m now on google plus, if you are interested in planning and crafting I have a community board they and I would like it if you join me there to share your crafts and planner style. I will be happy to see you there and more than happy so see what crafts you are interested in. Its the same name of the blog so come over .Well I will end this blog like always,
The dining table I just made a center piece with a heart bouquet on a silver tray. The mint was left from Christmas decor, so I just left them there.The side table by the window I just took the bottle from our New Years sparkling grape juice wash and peel off the label and added a same heart bouquet. We took different color heart and different sizes and glued then together and put them on the wall. We also used paper doily .
Nothing to fancy,but nice nevertheless.On the door we took the paper Dolly’s and added messages on them like the sweet hearts you get in the box.
Trying to make the door look fun. The last few thing we did was to add string to a couple of heart to hang them from the door knobs and I added two hearts from Dollar Tree to my window
As a bonus I wanted to share with you my pen holder on my desk. I saw this vase at Dollar Tree and even through it was for Valentine’s Day I just liked it so I added my pens and some heart picks,and this will be part of my room decor.
So I hope you enjoy todays blog. Once again Happy Valentine’s Day and
So to start I had to choose the shape of my sticker. Since the boxes in the Happy Planner is rectangle, I always start with a square. The square is than adjusted to the measurements I took when I started the desigining process.
The next steps is the change the square to a lighter color. I do this because basically I just need the square to be cut out and if I use a color, I would have to have the color added by a printer before cutting and that could be expensive.Later on I will experiment with adding color using water paint or makers to add color to the sheet before cutting.The next steps is to pick my font and write out what I want my sticker to say. After that the text is added, it has to be sized to fit the square.I then had to change the text to a write setting and what type of pen I want to use. For this sticker I picked a black glitter pen.
The last two steps is to attach the text to the boxes. If you skip this step, the cricut will cut out the boxes on one page and write the text on another page. You need to attach the text to the box so it will write the text in the square and than cut it out. The final step before you cut the stickers is to decide how many stickers you want, duplicate it and started to cut. I’m sorry I didn’t show you the finished sticker,but I want to add more items to this page before I cut.
As you know coffee time is the day I sit down with my hot cup of coffee and give you a quick review of the past week blog.So this week I did miss two days blogging. My daughter was here from NYC and she left to go home on Wed. So I didn’t blog on Mon or Wed,because of that’s reason. I wanted to have some time with her and I didn’t have time to craft or work on my room. 
This week I shared how I made stamps for my planner. I did use the silhouette mint machine. I design this stamp to have what I track daily in my household planner.
I still have a lot of stuff,but its much neater than before with the labeled boxes. P is for Puff, I shared a story about Puff the cat and shared this paper mache unicorn I did for my daughter.
My last share for the week was this bottle I did. I still dont know where I will display it but I think it is nice for accent lighting. When I decide where its home will be I will share it with you.
Well I hope you enjoy this issue of coffee time and I will leave you like always,
I is a bottle that can used for oils, vinegar etc. A while back I purchase some bottle lights and I figure this would be the perfect bottle for it. I also decided to use chalk paint and give it a distressed look.
So to prepare the bottle for the chalk paint, (which is pool blue)I had to wipe the bottle down with alcohol. This is to remove any oils from the bottle.
The next steps was to put two coats of the chalk paint on the bottle. The instructions said wait 2 hours in between coats,but I let it sit overnight.
And here what the finished item look like. I still haven’t decided where I want to put it,but I think it will look good anywhere. Well I hope you enjoyed today blog. I will leave this blog like I do always.
This short story is about Puff. His full name is Koco Puff.Puff as he is called originally belong to my mother, but since than became the best friend of my daughter. She and her best friend sleep in the same bed and they share her food. He’s always by her side and when she isn’t home he sleeps on her side of the bed.He always talking to her and when she don’t want to hear it, she tells him he talks to much in which he hits her(lol). So what do Puff have to do with today craft you are asking? Well one thing that my daughter always say about Puff is that he is so sweet and magical. He is such a mild mannered cat. So his nickname is Puff unicorn.
Before I continue, I have a side note. Since puff is so special to my daughter when she came here to visit, my other daughter brought her a piñata that favors Puff
So I hung it on the door on her side of the bed so she sees it when she wakes up. So now back to the story.I purchase this unicorn and decide to make it puff unicorn. The first step I did was to put silver glitter on his horn.I painted him black first with children washable paint which didn’t take to well and I ended up using black acrylic paint.
Hey ignore the snack in the first picture, a girl get hungry when crafting lol. So I added another coat of black paint. After the paint dry I added white glitter to areas of his body to give it that magical feel. Here is what it looks like finished.
For some reason the photo looks like its real glittery, but its just have a light dusting of glitter.
