DIY Galaxy Jacket

This DIY Galaxy Jacket is out of this world!

I am all about this galaxy craze happening right now. So far, I've made some Galaxy Shoes, Galaxy Flower Pots, and even some Galaxy Coasters! My daughter saw a denim jacket with a galaxy on the back, and asked if she could get one for the new school year. It was pretty pricey, so we decided to give the old DIY a try. We had a ton of fun making this DIY Galaxy Jacket, and I think it turned out even better than the one from the store!

Freshen up your home with a gorgeous Paper Succulent Wreath!

I love succulents, but I just can't keep them alive. The best way I've found to bring succulents into my home without feeling guilty is to go faux! Paper succulents are surprisingly easy to make, and you can create so many things with them. This wreath was made with only four different succulent patterns cut out of multiple shades of green paper using my Cricut Maker. Speaking of which, be sure to read through to the end for an awesome Cricut GIVEAWAY!

Free Percy Jackson Demigod SVG Cut File

We've made it our goal to read through Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series this summer.

It's a little bittersweet finishing the series, but it was wonderful to spend some quality time together reading good books filled with entertaining Greek mythology adventures. To celebrate completing our goal, I designed this "Demigod in Training" shirt with a FREE cut file to share with all of you!
