Feliz Navidad from Playing for Change

Holiday wishes from one of my favorite organizations - Playing for Change. If I'm not mistaken, Grandpa Elliott from New Orleans (America's deep south) is singing Feliz 'M'avidad - but he rocks it anyway!

There are so many ways to support this fantastic initiative - so I hope you'll hop over to learn more about them.

Until next time...

I'm sharing my favorites below, and you too can find inspiration with over 80 projects and pieces of art on this paint chip Pinterest board.

Since the projects / works of art are so fabulous, I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

25 Repurposed Magazine Projects - DIY

It's time for another installment of 'My Favorite Things'. This time I've scoured the net and found 25 of the best repurposed magazine projects. These repurposed craft and DIY ideas range from easy to advanced, some come with tutorials, and others you get to figure out for yourself (or even buy in the case of a few). What do I like best with repurposed magazine arts and crafts...they are low-to-no cost! The downside? They can often be VERY time consuming projects - so beware!
