Hey there, I’m Carla!

Welcome to my quirky little corner of the internet! I’ve been here since 2009, making colorful craft projects from paper and paint and whatever else catches my eye.

I’ve jumped off the perfection train. If you’ve ever glued your fingers together or accidentally bedazzled your pet (don’t worry, Basil forgave me), you’re in good company.

So, whether you’re a newbie, a seasoned crafter, a parent on the brink of summer break madness, or just someone looking to add a splash of creativity to your life, you’re in for a treat. There’s plenty of rock painting tutorials, adorable craft ideas, and printable activities to last a while.

Ready to rock this crafty journey together? Let’s do it!

HERE YOU’LL FIND

  • Rock Painting Guides: Based on my extensive testing and my own personal learning experience, I’ve created extensive guides to help you paint beautiful rock art.
  • Craft Tutorials for All Ages: I love teaching people to craft with color and explore their creative abilities. You’ll find craft ideas for elementary schoolers to seniors, including hard-to-impress tweens and teens.
  • Activity Printables for Every Occasion: Whether your looking for a boredom-busting summer word search, or coloring bookmarks for a class party, I have a wide variety of printables to fit your needs.
