Hi there! I am Nicole. I am a mother, a wife, and a daughter with limited time and limited money!...but these things should NEVER get in the way of creating. I was inspired to create this blog after I asked my wedding photographer to take photos of everything me and my mom made and he came back to me and said he couldn't find anything homemade! Feeling beyond accomplished, I knew I had to start sharing our craft wisdom with the world! A play on the popular idiom "Nickel and Dimed" I launched "Nicole & Dimed".

My passion for creating stems from a life-long inspiration from my Mom, Theresa. As DIY masters, we pride ourselves on being able to bring new ideas and innovative designs to the table, no matter what the occasion or setting, at an affordable price-point.
