{Giveway} The DIY Guide to the Good Life: “Fix It, Make It, Grow It, Bake It”

by Nicole on 11.28.2011

As much as I absolutely adore crafting, I also do a lot of DIY for the sake of saving money. And in the past year or so, I’ve really learned how much you can save when you make things yourself as opposed to shelling out the cash to buy them…thus the reason why many of [...]

{Giveaway} Eco-chic Wedding Favors from Tree Beginnings

by Nicole on 09.26.2011

It’s no secret that weddings can often be wasteful.

We may not [...]
