There is nothing I love more than being resourceful. Here is a simple necklace tutorial made out of thrifted finds. It is very fun and perfect for a little added funky flair. PLUS, it looks christmas-y right? You can make it with any color scheme by changing out the beads, and fabric. I did totally make this up… so no hating or judging.. haha. It’s just for fun. The items you will need are shown above: Strips of fabric, beads, yarn or string, and shower curtain rings. I displayed yarn AND string… but in this example I just chose to use the yarn.

Happy Holidays and Merry chirstmas. I have just updated the shop items in time for the holidays. There are some really fun remixes for this coming spring as well as a paper artwork series displayed below. I have had so much fun creating in this season of my life. Thinking, dreaming, planning, and creating the unimaginables. It has been a releasing time for me to be able to physically create what i love.
I spend a lot of time on the computer designing and editing…. so getting in and divinging into handmade goods has been really refreshing for me. Sometimes i get sooo excited about ideas that i forget to eat, and everything. I just cant wait to see how it comes out. Its almost a thrill. haha. Brian tries to keep me in line though. hhaha. I have some fun plans for the future as well.
I hope you enjoy and maybe find a fun unique gift for your wife, friend, sister, family member etc. enjoy. Click on the banner above or go to www.apcollective.etsy.com to view more items and/or purchase.


Thoughts??!?! what would you like to see more of?

As some of you are able to pick up… i am a bargin shopper, deal finder, treasure hunter, all things renewed kinda girl. A couple of you suggested that i try a DIY post just for fun. I do not take any of this seriously.. its just a fun outlet. I am by no means an interior decorator.. and I dont try to be. But I do have a lot of fun, (as a new wife and homemaker) exerimenting with projects and decor. Here is a little fun table or shelf decor piece made completely out of recycled goods around the house. No money was spent.. no supplies were bought its just a funky, urban, fall do-dad to add to a naked spot in the house. haha.
