I am starting a new series today of Easter crafts – one or a two a week until Easter, which is March 31st this year. For my first craft, I thought it would be fun to make brightly spring-colored drinking straws for Easter this year. They will add pops of color to your Easter dinnerContinue reading “Easter Crafts – Easter Straws”

Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards
I made a couple Valentine’s Day Cards this year I wanted to share… For family, from our sweet baby girl: I did a photo shoot that went wild as Z only wanted to bite the styrofoam hearts I pinned to a pink blanket to make an on-theme photo backdrop. I got a few silly photos IContinue reading “Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards”
$10 Valentine’s Day Centerpiece
I thought it would be fun to make a Valentine’s Day centerpiece much like the one I made last Easter using conversation heart candy. I found the candy on sale 2/$6 and flowers for $4, not bad and so easy to put together: All you need: Bouquet of flowers, 2 bags of conversation heart candyContinue reading “$10 Valentine’s Day Centerpiece”
Holiday Cards
We got my sister’s Christmas card last week and I thought it was so cute…posed, perfect kiddo photos on the front and fun photo shoot outttakes on the back, showing their true personalities. I wanted to copy the idea, but since I make my own cards with stamps and a photo, I wondered how? Well,Continue reading “Holiday Cards”
Christmas Decor, part 2: Teeny Tiny Tree
Here’s my second new Christmas decoration, this time it’s a crafty one! I always seem to focus on our kitchen table centerpiece as something I want to change up every year for Christmas.

This weekend we’re going to check out this partyContinue reading “Couple Things…”

Sweet Silhouette
We visited a silhouette artist a couple weeks ago and in about 2 minutes we had this cute cut-out of our sweet baby girl’s silhouette, with her little curls and all. The artist just sat there – looking at her profile and cut free form with sharp scissors. What an interesting talent! This weekend IContinue reading “Sweet Silhouette”
Office Chair Reupholster
In my new home office space, I was using an old, giant office chair…with wheels. I like a nice stationary chair as I work so I decided to take an old, stained chair from our basement and reupholster to make it seem new! I went to a little fabric shop down the street and foundContinue reading “Office Chair Reupholster”
