I was recently introduced to FedEx Office blog, Out of Office, that provides different tips and templates to help make you more creative. Their blog provides numerous ideas for projects and crafts and offers suggestions for unique ways to personalize baby showers, Father's Day gifts and more!
The Out of Office blog sent me the materials to make my own personalized book marks. You can print off your own template and work with your kids to kick of summer and get them excited about reading during their vacation.
You can color them, add photos, stickers, ribbons, craft paper, and anything you can dream up!
Their blog has a Home Helper section of projects, as well as, Parent Projects, Excellent Events, Watercooler Wisdom, Holiday Hints, and Business Builder categories with great ideas to help your be organized and efficient.
To stay in-the-know in FedEx DIY projects go to the Out of Office blog, or follow @OutofOfficeBlog on Twitter.
If you have a great idea for a craft project, send details to the Out of Office team and your idea could be featured on their blog!
Disclosure: “I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of FedEx Office and received the items necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

Feeling Crafty in Time For Mother's Day
I sat down at my computer/crafting table and went to MarthaStewart.com to get inspired. Martha is absolutely the best for fresh ideas. As always, I visited her site and just d-r-o-o-l-e-d over her seemingly endless creativity. I found countless projects that I would like to work on and I enjoyed looking so much that I nearly spent all of my time browsing instead of crafting. I'm going to go and get creative painting but I wanted to let you know that I'm going to post a new Mother's Day gift idea craft starting tomorrow through Saturday. Since Mother's Day is quickly approaching I've chosen all simple and inexpensive crafts with the longest project first. I hope you'll enjoy them!
