Hi CSI fans! Big THANKS to Dee for having us in honor of her 2 year anniversary. For the chevron challenge today, we thought it would be fun to add some chevron pops of color to our summer mantel. But first we want to take a sec to introduce ourselves formally: We are identical twin sisters, Kelli & Kristi of Lolly Jane, an eclectic DIY blog chock full or DIY projects, furniture revamps, holiday crafts, tutorials and an occasional treat or two! And today’s treat is learning how to make these fun chevron decor pieces!  They’re a cheap way to dress up that summer {…Read More…}

I am so excited to be sharing my mustache necklace with you. I made this in honor of Mr. CSI. I will be wearing this on Father’s Day for sure. He is a wonderful father and my best friend. He is cute too! Note: His accessory was only approved because we threw a Fiesta at our local Ronald McDonald House for all of the families staying there. Ok, back on task…..Mustache Pendant I ordered this mustache pendants from The Plaid Barn. If you do not get their emails daily, you need to! Although I tend to buy alot. Sorry, Mr. {…Read More…}

Hello there! My name is Rhonda, or as you might know me better, Mrs. Greene (which is also the name of my blog). I dabble in crafts of all kinds, and I also love to cook and bake. It’s impossible for me to pick my favorite craft discipline, however one of my first creative loves was crochet. I taught myself how to crochet out of a library book that I checked out somewhere around age 10 or 12 and I have been addicted ever since. While I seldom have the time (or the patience) to get through making an entire {…Read More…}

I signed up at the CSI Project again this month to bring you projects with flowers. My blog is mainly scrapbooking, so those are the kinds of flowers that I have on hand. Here I just simply embellished a Chinese takeout gift box by wrapping some ribbon around it and adding a flower from Michaels and 2 leaf pins from Maya Road. Very easy peasy! Here’s a card I did with some Doodlebug flower stickers that I adhered with pop dots so they’d pop off the page and added some ribbon from American Crafts for their stems. I also used {…Read More…}

  My Styling Cabinet This project has been in the works or in my head for quite some time.  I’m so glad that I get to share it with you today and show you how I transformed an old medicine cabinet into becoming one of the most useful and functional pieces of equipment in my bathroom.  I hated always having to pull out my hair dryer, curling iron or flat iron in the mornings to get ready.  It was always so time consuming to plug in, unplug and put away and I wanted to find a more efficient way of {…Read More…}

Hello CSI’ers! It is rare that I get to share my crafts with you so I am excited to today! My name is Dee and I am the owner of The CSI Project and my cute husband is the technical side of the blog.   I can’t show this picture without showing a picture of our cute dog wearing the same mustache at our Lorax Premier Party.   Isn’t he the cutest? This week is all about Recyle, Re-Use and Re-purpose so I had this idea when I was getting out my spring decor. This was a fast project and I {…Read More…}
