I don’t know about you but I can spend HOURS 😳watching other people open their packages.
Turns out our kids knew where it was at years ago when we used to tell them to stop wasting time watching those YouTube videos of people opening toys. 🤷🏻♀️😂
But this is better because it comes with links with how to purchase your own. 😉
Since lunch…for a few years…same thing right? 🤔
Wood signs will always be my first love but I think 2023 is the year to start working some new dreams in to the mix.
Some items will be new.
Some items will be mugs that have kicked my behind the last couple years and caused a few tears with a bunch of defeated moments but are finally consistently turning out right on the first try. 😒
Side note: The coffee talkee mug in the back is supposed to read “coffee over talkee” but I think I missed the mark on that one. 😂
If you thought this video was about the bananas you’re my type of people. 😂
But let’s be honest, who actually enjoys having stacks of decor that only works for a specific holiday and only gets put out for a month at a time? 🙅🏻♀️
Show of ❤️’s, who thinks double sided decor that could work for everyday AND multiple holidays should be a thing?
Anyone else iced in for the next couple days? 🥶
It’s probably the best time to finally show the hutch I finished a couple weeks ago and kept forgetting to post, right? 😬
Show of hands, who looks in their “stocked” pantry before grocery shopping only to be asked “Why didn’t you get more of ______” when you get home?😡
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Which means more time for creating! 🥹🙌🏻😎
It’s me. I needed to hear this! ☀️ ❤️

Yes…that is a Hello Kitty toaster. It belongs to my 17 year old and I may fight her for it when she moves out because it makes some damn good toast. 🍞💯
But seriously, I’m going full transparency here with this before. Because in real life we don’t live in perfectly put together homes 24/7.
Especially if you have kids. Kids could care less about your decor. 😢
So if you are someone that struggles with how to decorate seasonally or with how to use smaller signs and decor pieces in your home, this is for you!
Make sure to follow along to see how this turns out and for some fun crafty diy ideas!
After making 184 of these tags in 45 days for this past holiday season you think I wouldn’t have them on my workbench for a while…
Yet here they are. 😂
But making that many by hand in such a short time taught me a few things.
1. People really, really, really love personalized items. ❤️
2. Requests for different color options means more color options are coming. 🎨
3. I need to add photos with measurements shown because, even though the measurements are listed, a small percentage of people were unhappy they received a solid wood tag that was bigger than they had imagined it would be. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
String?
Plain?
Buffalo check?
Stripes?
Tell me below! 💬
1. This took waaaay too long to figure out before coffee 😂
2. Mine was Lose Yourself by Eminem 🎤 (not really sure how to take that one…🤔)
3. Leave yours in the comments! 💬
Which one is you this year? I think we’re all the last one…when did this become the normal? 🤷🏻♀️😂
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Anyone else like to give November a little time to shine before the Christmas decor goes up? I’m not saying either way is right or wrong, just a personal preference. 🤷🏻♀️
Clearly my workspace exists with a whole different set of rules than the rest of the house. 🤦🏻♀️
How’s the Daylight Savings time going for you?
I thought I would be super productive today with getting new items listed but so far this is all can do. 🫣😂
Want to know a secret no one is offering when they show their end result here on social media?
This video right here. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
It’s rare for decorating to be social media worthy on the first try.
Pinky promise. 🫶🏻
So keep going. Keep rearranging. Keep experimenting. Keep finding your own style and aesthetic. You’ll be amazed at what you’re capable of.
Looking for an inexpensive filler for your Halloween decor? These spiderwebs are my favorite for so many uses! 🕷
You can also add some led or fairy lights under them for a little more fun!
Before or after? 👻
I still may tweak some things here and there but for right now it’s done.
Now comes the fun part, showing you the process and my favorite tricks when putting together a tiered tray! 🎃
“But that tray on Pinterest looked like it was so easy to put together!”
Ever experienced this? 🙋🏻♀️
That’s exactly why I’m starting a mini series of how I set up different trays to show you the tricks and tips Pinterest doesn’t show you!
Add in the stack of Christmas staring at me and it’s utter chaos over here. 😂
Who else is right in the middle of this season?
Anyone else decorating for Fall this Labor Day?
If so, which acorns would you add to your decor?
💛 Weathered Oak
🤎 Dark Walnut
🧡 Classic Gray
If there was ever a book to be written about me, these would definitely be the chapters.
Not in this particular order, but the first picture would definitely be the feel for every chapter,
“One day at the craft store Krista decided…”😬😬😬😬
Please tell me I’m not the only person that loses all control around craft supplies!
It’s funny, because it’s true. 💯
If you have been here for awhile then you know I started block.paper.scissors. after slipping while walking through our house and breaking my kneecap becauseI’m super talented like that. 💁🏻♀️
Now my talent is knowing when rain is coming and I’m really hoping that ache means we’re finally getting some!
Who else is desperately needing to see rain in their area?
First things first, make sure your audio is on or else the rest of this won’t make sense.
Second things second (is that right?? 🤔), are you on Instagram and are you following me over there?
I mean we’re having a ton of Reel-y good fun over there.
Comment below if you want a direct link or just search for blockpaperscissors and look for my face! 💁🏻♀️
If by chance you had “Excessive heat and weird summer cold that morphed in to a gnarly sinus infection and knocks Krista out for almost 3 weeks” on your 2022 Bingo card you can go ahead and mark it. 🫠
In fact, it had been so long since I had felt good enough to make dinner my teenagers didn’t even question what I made last night…they just ate it. 😱
It feels good to be back to being covered in paint and having the energy to see what the garden has!
And for reference, the first photo is of the sun this morning in all of it’s 85° with a heat index of 93°…at 7:30 in the morning. 😒😑🫥😭
Since we are breaking 100+ year heat records over here it’s time for this friendly PSA. 🥵☀️💀
Is it hot where you are?
I’m not going to lie, digging through my paper stash and putting together combinations is like a 6 shots of espresso at once. 💉☕️
But it’s better because it’s instant creativity and no uncontrollable jitters. 😂
Which combo are you looking forward to seeing?
Why would someone in their right mind still be making handmade items when we live in a world that tells us if you can’t get it within 2 days it’s not worth it? 🤔
Because I’m not making decor for the world, I’m making decor for people that love their home and want to have things that make them feel good surrounding them. Those are my people. ❤️🥹
Want to be a part of an awesome group of people? Make sure to follow along!
I didn’t mean to take a week off of social media, it just kind of happened. 🤷🏻♀️
But it turns out it was much needed, mentally and physically, to not be caught up in scrolling all day to keep up with the world.
Here’s some of my favorite things from the week (that I remembered to catch):
🍋 We found the cutest little lemonade stand
☕️ The struggle is real with iced coffee
🌻 Sunflowers are finally blooming
🫠 Coffee vs water
🍱 My 16 year old made spring rolls from scratch
🌸 Zinnias from the garden
💧 All water is not equal
🔑 Platinum Club keychain from Inner Circle
❤️ A gentle reminder for all of us
