Fueled by Cookies, Crafts, and Just the Right Amount of Fun
Hey there! We started this site back in 2008 with a mix of everything under the sun—but these days, it’s mostly me (hi, I’m Viana!) sharing recipes and crafty projects that add a little joy to everyday life. I’m all about desserts, crochet, and the kind of DIY that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Erich’s the one behind the weekly newsletter (and yes, he’s very charming), while I wrangle the glue guns and cookie sheets.
Thanks for stopping by—hang out, try something fun, and make yourself at home!
