She especially likes to share kid crafts, sewing attempts, recipes, upcycled projects, photography and free printable gift tags/cards. When she’s not enjoying being married to her best friend, chasing after the natives (AKA her three kids) and attempting to keep the house in one piece, you can find her with a glue gun in one hand and spray paint in the other. Aside from DIY pursuits, she also enjoys writing, reading, music, singing (mostly in the shower) and the color yellow. Kimberly recently published a craft book entitled Modern Mod Podge.

Hi there!
I love you site, but o.m.g. being someone with adhd, i can hardly get through an article without my brain wanting to explode with all the popup ads, wow lol. I try to X out of them then end up else where and back and forth. Its frustrating but sad because you have great content.
