Destination Decoration: A place for budding and established DIY’ers to learn a little, share a little, and craft a lot.
To craft, or not to craft?
For me the answer is a resounding, “To craft!” If you’re looking for a place to get some crafting ideas and tips, this is the place for you. I make lots of mistakes, but there’s beauty in imperfection, dontcha think? My hope and wish is that you can learn from my mistakes and celebrations and I can learn just as much from you.
It all started with a canvas.
Mostly true. I have always been a creative person and did crafts throughout high school and college, but it was only after moving in with my husband that I discovered my love for all things crafty. Spurred on by a new, bare-bones decorated apartment, the seeds of Destination Decoration were sown. I made it my mission to make our new home a welcoming and joyful place to be. Through making canvases, wall art, and other odds-and-ends decorations, I learned a lot about crafting, made many mistakes, and made more than a few messes. I started Destination Decoration as a creative outlet (I have always loved writing and journaling) and a way to share my experiences. I can’t say I’m an expert….I’m far from it, but I have found so much joy in crafting and creating and hope you will, too.
Crafter. Blogger. Mess-Maker. Teacher. Chicago Bears Fan. Wife. Voracious Reader. Child of the King.
All true and not necessarily in priority order. I’m a Wisconsin-born, Minnesota-raised girl, married to the best man a girl could ask for.
I have taught kindergarten and first grade and have a passion for teaching, tutoring, and working with children in general. I have a fantastic family. Look up the dictionary definition of a homebody and you will find See: Beth.
Lastly (but not at all leastly), I believe God has given me the talents and gifts that I have and strive to thank Him each and every day for these beautiful blessings.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us–yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 90:17
Happy crafting!
Do you have any thoughts about using sharpies on Pyrex glass to restore worn off markings?
I enjoyed your blog on pinterest about Calligraphy because I am considering taking yet another craft…However my handwriting is not that great so I am a little concerned..I am also lefthanded..
If I use the dyi envelop glue, can I then store the envelops for later? Will the glue still hold up and stick?
I found your site and think it’s awesome! You utilize some of my favorite materials. I must say though, I need some advice and I think you’re just the one to give it to me. I’m trying to make a sharpie mug set and I’ve looked through several of your posts. Originally I decorated the mugs with regular sharpies and I baked them at 350 for 30. One wash and they were wiped clean! I was devastated but have recently felt motivated to begin again. Is there anyway to make sure the mugs are dishwasher safe? After all what fun is a cute mug if you can’t trust it through the wash? Thank you and I look forward to your response.
