UPDATE: Photos are fixed! Sorry!
I am so excited for our Guest poster today! Kyra, at RACKS and Mooby, is a doll! I love her to pieces. She is my crafting twin, as we always seem to be on a similar ‘crafty’ wavelength! I see her stuff and almost find myself thinking, “Why didn’t I think of that?! That’s totally something I would do!” Kyra is a busy woman with her two little girls, her hubby, and her crazy corporate job. She does it all! Her crafty endeavors are no slouch. I could go on and on, but instead I’ll let Kyra tell you some of her faves! Thanks for coming Kyra!

Before I get completely self-centered and start talking about myself, I want to send a big thank you out to Krista for granting me a spot during her “guest post while I move” series. I’ve been following WHWN for a while now and have had the pleasure of becoming “bloggy friends” with Krista who I think is such a sweetheart. I think part of our fun virtual friendship stems from the fact that we just seem to be on the same ~creative wavelength~ when it comes to crafts and DIY stuff. (so hopefully if you like her, you’ll like me too! š
My name is Kyra (pronounced “K-ear-a”) and I have been blogging over at RACKS and Mooby for about 9 months.
I am in my very early 40’s {EEK!} and am the mother of a 4-year old (SweetPea) and a 3-year old (Boogey). {they are only 15 months apart – clearly my husband and I are insane}. In addition to bringing up 2 beautiful girls, I work full-time at a high-falootin’ job in a big corporate office. Yes, I’m one of those people who gets up at 6am, is out of the house (with both kids) by 7am, at work by 8am, and home again by 6pm. Then I make dinner for everyone and try to get in a little family time before heading up for BBB (baths/books/bedtime) no later than 7:30pm. My “free time” usually starts around 9pm. Then I wake up and do it all over again! *yawn*
Needless to say, I am usually a walking zombie and our house tends to be in a constant state of disarray (seriously, who has the time or energy to clean??). And it doesn’t help when my husband works weekends! But I love my life and somehow still manage to fit in some fun crafts and DIY projects AND blog about them. Yeah, I think I already mentioned that I am a little ~insane~! š Oh and the final thing you should know about me… I’m cheap frugal. I love to save money whenever I can (but am smart enough to know my limitations!) so my projects are usually done with as little expenditure as possible (without it looking cheap, of course). And, given my tight schedule, my projects can’t take too much time to complete either! So if you like cheap and fast, I’m your gal! š
Here are a few examples of some of my projects…
I recently created a DIY Growth Chart for my girls for less than $3 each.

I got our playroom in order by Organizing the Kids’ Toys using bins with pictures.
 |
| A great way to enable the little ones to help clean up their own toys! |
My girls love Jessie from Toy Story so I created these No Sew Jessie the Cowgirl Halloween Costumes for them this past Halloween.
 |
| Each costume only cost about $5 to make – and no sewing was involved! |
 |
| See how I made this hurricane vase for only $2! |
And I decorated my girls’ most recent birthday parties myself… Batman’s Superhero Academy and Pink Mod Monkey
You can find these projects and several others on my blog at RACKS and Mooby. Please feel free to wander over and check them out – I love having vistitors!!
And just remember… it is ~quality over quantity~.
{While still being cheap frugal!} š
Thanks again, Krista, for having me!!
