Hello Friends & Happy Spring!

It’s been a long time since I’ve last blogged. My times does fly…

Life got super busy when my family and I decided to move back to our home state of GA.

We loved our time in Charleston and grateful for the wonderful friendships and experiences we shared during out time living there. Charleston will always feel like a second home to me. It feels wonderful to be back and closer to my family and dear long time friends with whom I’ve dearly missed.

Now that we’re finished with renovations, and feeling more settled, I am delighted to be back in the studio creating again. Even blogging! Sadly, blogging is a thing of the past it seems. I miss the old days of blogging. It felt like a small knit community. Would be fun (hint! hint!) if other’s joined in and made blogging popular again. 😉 In addition to blogging, I look forward to traveling and attending art workshop events. Which I miss!

I am OVER THE MOON excited to be attending Spring Fling hosted by The She Chateau.

Will be a mini reunion of old friends with whom I share countless fun memories with.

Both projects are so beautiful and I can’t wait to learn how to make them.

Now that spring is officially here I thought it would be fun to bring back an old crafting project from back from the Flickr days. I miss Flickr! Anyone else? Flickr was way before Instagram and it was such a fun platform to share photos and join groups. You could join a group that included your hobbies interest, collectibles, home decor, anything. This particular project I still have saved in my Flickr favorites. I thought it would be fun to bring it back.

Repurposed egg carton

Back in the Flick/Blogging days joining swaps was very popular. It was fun to gather treats to gift to your swap partner. One of the swaps that I enjoyed was repurposing old egg cartons, and filling it with tiny bits & bobs, ribbons, flowers, ephemera, buttons, rhinestones, etc.

With the price of eggs these days lets make good use with the carton. 🙂

For this project all you need is: Egg carton, white chalk paint, foam/paint brush, paper of your choice, ( I used peel & stick wallpaper) scissors, hot glue gun, multi-use glue ( I like Beacon 527 ) trim, flowers, any image you love (can be from a greeting card, scrapbook paper, digital download, music sheet)

Go from this…..

To this!

You can decorate the outside and inside however your heart desires!

The best part was finding filling it with little goodies.

I filled the carton with a mixture of sweet old Easter decorations.

This is a sample of egg carton swaps I found on Flickr.

Question for followers and readers.

A Fun Idea – Would You Join a Swap?
I’ve been dreaming up some wonderful swap ideas, and I wanted to see if you’d be interested!
In a world that can often feel heavy, I truly believe we could all use more happiness, creativity, and joy. Art and crafting have long been known to be healing and therapeutic, so why not add a little extra sprinkle of fun into our lives? And let’s be honest—who doesn’t love receiving a thoughtful, handmade gift?
For me, the crafting community has always been about more than just creating—it’s about connection, friendship, and sharing our creativity with one another. A swap could be the perfect way to bring us all together, spark inspiration, and spread a little kindness.
If this sounds like something you’d love to be a part of, I’d be thrilled to hear from you! Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts. Let’s make some magic together!

Thanks for visiting! Hope you enjoyed this post.

I’ll be sharing much more with you soon, and perhaps a fun giveaway too!

Happy Creating!

XOXO,
