creative crafting and design.
I don’t know about you guys, but I am always looking for ways to save a buck…especially with the prices of gas and milk {not to mention, everything else} rising so steadily! One thing I am extremely picky about is my laundry soap. Tide is my all-time favorite, and there are a few others that [...]

This is my favorite time of the year! We have been busy busy this past week getting all of our Christmas decorations out. For some reason, the husband has decided that three Christmas trees are necessary in this new house, so I’m trying to figure out a budget-friendly way to decorate them all! Of course, [...]
You might remember that I am working on decorating little man’s room in a nautical theme. I have a few projects finished already, but it’s a long way from being completed. The biggest room update so far has been the chevron wall, and now I have built some hanging shelves to accent the space. My [...]
One of my favorite crafts I made for my niece’s Pink Safari Party had to have been these printed paper bags. Since we were doing a popcorn bar, I figured it would be best to use bags as opposed to plates to help keep the mess down. But, really, how boring are plain paper bags? [...]
This book holder has been a LONG time coming and I’m so relieved to be able to share it with you! 44 weeks ago I pinned this image from Penny Carnival. I’ve had everything I needed to make one of these for at least a good 3 months now. When I finally got myself around [...]
Being in our new house has caused me to re-evaluate my cleaning habits. Keeping up with this place can be quite a chore {cheesy pun intended}, so I’ve started working on a cleaning schedule for myself. I have gotten into a pretty good weekly cleaning habit, but I’m still developing my monthly and quarterly chores. [...]
This has been such an exciting week for the Atkinson Drive blog! We are just into our 3rd month, and we’ve hit over 10,000 views. That might not seem like a lot for some more seasoned blogs, but I am really encouraged and can’t wait to see what the future will bring…I look forward to [...]
Today I’m sharing a super quick and easy project with you. For some time now I’ve been trying to come up with a simple centerpiece idea that can easily switch between my dining table and kitchen island. Most of the time our kitchen table is too full of clutter to have anything pretty on it, [...]
Lately we have had quite a few storms around here. I am so not complaining, though – we have been extremely low with our rain levels this year we desperately needed it. We’re still a good 7″ below normal & under water restriction…but the rain lately has been wonderful. Since I haven’t been able to [...]
As you might recall, a while back I found a set of vintage windows at a local antique mall for $20 each…score! I used the first of the windows in my family room as a wreath hanger / wall decor {see it here}. I was really at a loss for what to do with the [...]
I am super stoked to show you this tutorial today! As you may have seen from the Pink Safari Party photos, to help entertain the kiddos I created some customized coloring pages of the party girl. A ton of people have been asking how I did this, so I am going to give you the [...]
If you’re on Pinterest, I’m sure you’ve seen a variety of menu boards out there. I have been drooling over all of these since before we moved into the house, but I made myself put it off until we were settled in. My life seems better somehow now that I have a weekly menu board. [...]
I was so excited to be able to share my niece’s Pink Safari Party with you guys last week! Now I can’t wait to give you some more details about the photo booth. It’s really a pretty simple concept, but SO much fun – a great way to provide entertainment without games or expensive crafts. [...]
