Crochet crazy

I'm a very big fan of new hobbies, the most recent one I've picked up is crocheting! It's very soothing and relaxing and I've been having a blast teaching myself. 

D.I.Y : Road Trip Journal Bags

Happy Friday everyone! I'm starting to pack for a road trip with my sister that's happening in a few weeks and one of the main things on my list to pack is my craft supplies. Since I've been so into journaling lately, I tried to find some "road trip journal cards" and thought, I don't mind buying some I just couldn't find what I was looking for. Then an idea popped in my head! I could make some myself! So here is a D.I.Y. for all of you : Road Trip Journal Bags!

This is what they'll look like when you're done

Okay! Since it's been forever since I've done a D.I.Y. I hope I get this right!

Supplies :

* Scissors

*An old map 

*Washi Tape

Optional - Paper trimmer (I'm terrible at cutting straight lines, this Westcott was a gift from Mack and there isn't a single project that I don't use it)

First : Cut the size map you want, keeping in mind you have to double the width since it'll be folded. I wasn't too picky about how large I wanted it to be.

Second : Pick your washi tape! This is the perfect project to break out your stash.

Third : Fold your map evenly in the back and tape it down with your washi tape. 

Finally : There are 2 ways you can do the bottom : Fold the bottom up just a bit (no more than 1/2 an inch) and tape it down OR don't fold it up and just tape it! 

Happy Crafting! 

Instamemories : November

Another month gone, wow, time really does fly! November was great, and congrats to anyone who participated in Movember. November was filled with leaves, hot cocoa and a reminder that it's almost Christmas (and that I have a lot of stuff to get done!) So this month consisted of (from top left to bottom right) 1. Thrifting (and finding this adorable Tom Thumb typewriter) 2. Soaking up all the suns warmth while playing tag with my little sister during Thanksgiving break. 3. OhSo's first ever DIY! 4. Starbucks with friends. I hope you all have a very safe and stress-free holiday.
