2016 In Review

2016 was a year of delays.  So many things went sideways that I didn't accomplish much of what I set out to do.  What I did do was to finish up some unfinished projects and I got around to repainting the walls in my living room, dining room and home office.  I'm naming 2016 my "lighter, brighter year".   Here's my roundup for 2016.

Merry Christmas from Curly Crafty Mom!

Merry Christmas! A Savior is BORN! Merry Christmas everyone!  I just wanted to take time out to tell each and everyone of you how thankful I am that you stop by my blog and that I've been fortunate enough to get to know very many of you in 2016! I feel so lucky to be blessed with this space and all of you that make blogging special to me! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas/Hanukkah/holiday season! And, a special virtual hug to any of you that are having a difficult time this holiday season as we all know that it is not always a perfect day for everyone. I hope everyone gets some time off to enjoy this day and to reflect on what it really means. Enjoy your family, good food and whatever blessings come your way! I'll still be around this week with some posts, but it'll be a lighter week. Enjoy!

Picnic Basket Box Gift Idea and Caprese Salad {GlobeIn}

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has everything almost done for the holidays! We baked cookies yesterday, the gifts are wrapped and today I'll be going to the grocery store and prepping food for my family that is coming over on Christmas Eve.  Today I want to share a really neat subscription box company with you called GlobeIn . Their boxes would make a great gift idea for a hostess gift, January birthday (because it can be SO hard to gift someone after the holidays!), to cheer up a friend or just for yourself!  Every piece in the GlobeIn box empowers women artisans around the world through job creation and fair wages. You can now save $10 off with a purchase of 3- and 6- month Artisan Box subscriptions with the code CURLYCRAFTY . There are SO many boxes to pick from. The box that I selected was the Picnic Basket Box .  They had several other great boxes, though: The Cozy Box (Left) and The Memory Box (Right) The Jewelry Box (Left) and The Entertain Box (Right) You can click on

Currently {December}

Today I'm sharing my December Currently post! This is my way of updating all of you on what I've been up to besides the usual DIY/outfit posts!  Currently... Family Room Update Ok, ignore the mess in the room... but, we just did a family room update! We had a large projection TV that was old and we replaced it with a flat screen that my hubby mounted on the wall. We also purchased the IKEA Liatorp storage cabinets and I couldn't be more happier! I really just can't wait to decorate this entire space and the shelves. Thankfully there is a lot of inspiration on Pinterest, since this is a popular piece that they sell! My husband even put in surround sound, it is going to be so nice to watch a movie in this room now! Hometalk Email Last week, Hometalk shared my blog in one of their emails. Usually they link the project back to their site, but they linked it directly to my blog. As a result, I received a ton of clicks directly to my blog! Yay! Thanks, Hometalk! The project
