crochet-necklace2

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…}

Making Cards and Embellishing with Flowers{My Scrapbook Life}

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…}
