Here is my latest crafting night with June Cruz:
What you will need:
Thrift store frame. (Goodwill: $3), Trusty Glue Gun (Free: Mom’s hand-me-downs), Wire scissors (Antique Row sale in Pomona: $2)
Step 1: Cut chicken wire to fit the frame
Step 2: Hot glue to wire to the inside border of the frame
Step 3: Put earings through and display!
Making this jewelry holder only took us 10 minutes! And the idea was all June’s! She even gave me the chicken wire. :] I’m so excited to go to Tahiti with her!
I know I am so late in finally making a post for this, but here’s some decorations we made for the Cross-trainer Halloween Party. Everything was inspired and created by me, Tracy, Marie, John John, Angelica, and Sylvie.
John John and Angelica painted these scary pictures and we hung them in the staircase. Made a great backdrop for the costume contest!
Sylvie made this amazing pumpkin carving!
I was inspired by this picture to make a sign out of pumpkins:
I saw this picture on pinterest too and wanted to make my own version of it.
We also put cobbwebs in the chamdelier which made it really spooky!
Tracy found these awesome bottles from the thrift store and we helped paint them to make potion bottles. She used them for the coffee stand. Read about it here.
I love hanging out, making things and decorating. all of these people are so great.
I’ve never been a coffee drinker. I tried for awhile, but ended up only getting the iced blended stuff or sweetening it so much it didn’t even taste like coffee anymore. I think it was about senior year of high school going into college I really fell in love with tea. I always associated it with fond memories like a cold night sipping it and watching a movie.
Now that I’m working, I feel like I need to have tea every morning. wakes me up, gets me warm, and helps me feel better. Green tea is my favorite! and a plus: the used bags are great for composting!
Here are some amazing tea products that have me going crazy.

I love vintage books! I try to buy them when I find them at the thrift store, but they are so hard to come by. Tracy, Sylvie, and I saw these super cute ones at Goodwill one time, but we didn’t end up buying them.
I’ve been starting my own collection. ah. They have so much history, and they look amazing!
