Give Me a Minute…or 5?

I don’t know about you but I look at many a project or DIY and love it.
Like really, really love it!
But, then think…I’m just going to buy it because my time is worth sooo much more then doing that project!
Or, I’ll just skip it.
Believe it or not (stop giggling), even with my experience and resources I do this often.
So…I’m thinking it’s time for some easy and quick little things you can do to  make your house happy.
Let’s say…30 minutes or less?

Anyways. Let’s start off this little corner of happy county with this…

A Paper Plate basket. –a 5 minute craft.

Come on…they are cute.
What person wouldn’t love you to give them some cookies in a cute basket like this?
Yes…it’s a bit…frugal? Creative?
But…not all crafts have to cost money.
Or be time intensive.
Or look like the queen of crafts made them.
Sometimes, sometimes…simple really is best.

You need …

a paper plate.
scissors.
tape.

yep. that’s it. Of course if you have pretty tape. or ribbon. or even some stickers it would be even better.
But…do what you have.

Okay, truth be told I fixed the tape on that one…it was crooked.
But…if you have an idea for a great craft, tip, recipe, or DIY that takes minutes to do…
Send it over!! I would love to feature  you!
Oh yeah…you need my email.

  8. Janel. I really do love this idea because so often I feel like I have to fit my crafting in. I’m going to see if I have any “minute” crafts that I can send your way. Would love to participate in this series for the time-pressed among us. And who isn’t.

    And now, because I read what you wrote on Facebook about feeling guilty if you don’t respond to three or four sentence comments, I am running on and on so you will have to reply to me or risk not being able to sleep tonight. :)

    Nah, only kidding. No need to reply.

    But this one is 3 paragraphs long. (Insert evil laugh here!)

  9. Weird thing just happened when I posted that last comment. After I hit “Post Comment,” it took me to the WordPress login page. Wonder why? Wonder if it will do it again? This is my last comment on this post, I promise. Not trying to be a spammer, just trying to figure out what’s going on.
