I’m Kierste, from brown paper packages, and I am very excited to be here with you today, and swapping blogs with Michelle. She is so talented, and has so many FUN ideas.
I’m wife to an awesome guy, and mom to five adorable kids, including two sets of twins. Like every mother, my life is super busy, but crafting and creating is the way I love to relax and spend my downtime. Decorating on a budget is a passion of mine. Searching out garage sales, thrift shops, and even the side of the road is fun for me, especially when I find something fabulous to re-finish, re-make, or re-do.
Michelle asked me to answer a few questions:
- What is your favorite crafting tool or secret weapon? My favorite crafting tool has to be distress ink. It adds depth and dimension to any paper project. Can I pick two? I also LOVE my power sander. I work a lot with wood, and it saves me so much time!
- What is your favorite Easter candy? I think the question here is which one I don’t like! I love the chocolate Robin eggs…delicious!
- If you were a hair accessory, what would you be and why? Hmmmm…I would probably say a flower. I like to “cutesy” everything up!
Check out what I’ve been up to lately!
Burlap is all the rage now, and I’m so glad, because I’ve loved it forever! I created this game for my girls, using the initials of their name instead of x’s and o’s. They love it, and it’s perfect for home, or on the go.
TWINE VASE
Twine…another favorite!
FAMILY RULES CANVAS

~With Mother’s Day coming up, here are a couple of really fun gift ideas:
Made out of name badge holders, and fancied up with ribbon and scrapbook paper, these are perfect for any mother or grandmother in your life.
This stool needed a little face lift, and these darling footprints are the perfect accessory.

So…I’d love to have you come on over and say hi!
Thanks so much, Michelle, for letting me take over your blog today. It has been a pleasure.
Have a great weekend!
