Why not combine the two best days of the year into one fun party? That’s exactly what we did! We turned the A/C down, stayed inside & decked the halls for a Christmas in July Birthday Party. Once I thought of the idea, I knew immediately I would pull out some of my favorite Christmas…
the deets on the breakfast room~
So often, I’m left speechless by your sweet comments or emails. But I was truly blown away by all the emails & comments I received about my last post of making & painting a chevron curtain. I will say proudly, this room was decorated on the cheap, & over time. A lot of time. It’s…
painting & making a chevron curtain
I figured it was high time to jump on the Chevron bandwagon. There’s been too much fun out in blogland over Chevron fabric, and to be quite honest…I was getting rather jealous. So, I thought a curtain was in order. Here’s our very small breakfast room before: Of course, it’s the smallest room in the…
a Tooth Fairy door
We were invaded the other night. Not even Buzz Lightyear & the Hut Huts (toy solider, as Mason calls them) were able to stand their ground against her. You see, someone has had a loose tooth for a few days & could barely think of anything else ~ other than the magical tooth fairy. So…
Target & making tarnished silver trophies
If you’re liking the trophy look like me – then you must RUN, not walk to TARGET! These little faux plastic trophies are in the dollar bins, right when you walk in the door. Now, obviously they aren’t the real deal, nor would I ever pretend that they are, but gosh darn it – I…
a birdcage for my wall
As mentioned last week, here’s the play by play of how I re-worked the bird cage. It’s a little whimsy & a whole lotta Spring in my book. When we bought our house, a lot of crap was left behind. Literally. So gross. It was falling apart sitting up high on our porch. It’s not perfect…
for the love of cake & upcycling
For the love of cake and up cycling. Have I ever mentioned that I love cake? I do. I also {LOVE} to upcycle, because other than a few supplies it’s basically free. So this is a story about both of my loves – cake & upcycling. Below is my very first purchase from Williams &…
{LOVE-ing} this weekend & a survey.
I big puffy hearted today with the kids. There’s something about the sun shining in & planning a party that always puts a spring in my step. Of course, hearing our weather man say that we’ll be in the 60’s next week always helps as well. We had no plans today other then to make…
Nothin’ but Love for ya ~ Valentine Ideas!
I’m going to be honest here ~ I cannot top last year when it comes to Valentine’s Day/Week ideas. I know, I’m a disgrace to the blogging community. After all, we are always *suppose* to come up with “something” new & fresh for each season, to keep up with everyone – right? Well, not this girl. …
highlights of 2010
::{Click the picture to take you to that particular post}:: We started 2010 off with a bang! This may have been the most spontaneous thing I did all year. I decided to throw a party for the kids the day before New Year’s Eve. It was so fun. My very first transfer paper project ~…
