DIY TARDIS Cookies Made With 3D Printed Cookie Cutters
Why is it that so many of us are obsessed with the TARDIS? I know I always smile when I see that blue box.

DIY City Of Paris Papercraft That Fits In Your Pocket
Papercraft builds remind me a lot of Lego builds in the sense that some artists gravitate towards huge monstrosities that you can't help but stare at, and other artists focus more on minimalist creations that are small enough to fit in your pocket. One thing is for sure, bigger doesn't always mean b ...
DIY Mini Gardens That Grow Inside Your Favorite Seashells
These shells remind me of the little hermit crab that lived in a shell that I brought home from the beach one day when I was six. I put him in a bowl of tap water, and he died a brutal death. I learned the hard way that saltwater animals can't survive in the water we drink. Mother Nature is a mad sc ...
DIY Bumble & Wampa Snow Monster Cupcakes
Once again, the creative baker and mom behind the blog Sugar Swings, asked a thought provoking question... If a Bumble and a Wampa got in a fight, which one would win?

DIY Last Minute Creative Gift Wrapping Ideas
Usually over the holidays, I block out a chunk of several hours to wrap all the gifts I bought for my loved ones during this season.

I've talked to a lot of people this season who are already exhausted from all their holiday shopping.

DIY Snowflakes Made From Junk Mail
Do you know what paper doilies are? I haven't seen a doily since my great grandmother died when I was very young, but she used to always have those in her house. When I visited her, I would fold them in half and cut designs in them with a pair of scissors. If you've ever done that, you know that whe ...
DIY Wooly Willy Coffee Table
Do you remember Wooly Willy? Playing with him was a huge part of my childhood. I always kept an Etch-A-Sketch and a Wooly Willy in the backseat of my parent's car when I was growing up. These days kids watch movies and surf the Internet from the backseat, but I'm glad I had my Wooly Willy instead.

How To: Build Your Own Igloo From Snow Blocks
It's funny to me that I'm writing an article about building an igloo when here in the South, it doesn't even snow every year. When it does, it usually only lasts for a few hours, and then it's gone. Richard should probably be the one writing about this since he lives in Sweden where apparently it's ...
