Hi there..birthday girl here. I’ve been a busy bee the past few days and today moving and cleaning and organzing..oh my!
I’m not Mary and I’m not 6 (+ 18), but I thought these cupcakes were so cute and a great, easy display idea.
Little to no posting in the next week or [...]

Button Fever

I’ve had an interest in starting a button collection for a while now.
Now that M and I are trying to live more frugally, I’m really thinking long and hard before purchasing anything.
After finding at least 6 button projects in the past few weeks, I think I can finally feel ok in buying up a big [...]

Cute Cork

I saw these on decor8 the other day and instantly thought ‘hey, i could make that’ and what do you know…I found a tutorial! Oddly enough, decor8 added in the link to those same directions since then. We’re all one big blog family! haha…
For directions to make your own visit sweet jessi.

Seriously??

I honestly did not go in search of the following images. They somehow all found me in the past couple of days. And I’ve gotta say..they’re a little disturbing. I almost didn’t want to post..but I had to share the ridiculousness.
Please tell me this isn’t a trend!

Happy Earth Day!

I haven’t had much time to keep both of my blogs updated as we’re in the process of packing and getting ready to move into our first house! But I had to check in for Earth day
I posted a few links to tips for greener living on our blog.
Here are a few green [...]

Etsy Love

Etsy is such a wonderful site. If you’re not familiar, go check it out now!I find so many beautiful things while browsing around, I thought I’d start featuring some of my finds.
Today I stumbled across Whitney Smith Pottery. She has beautiful, simple pieces.
I also love these felt brooches from VaivaNat’s Felt Gallery.

Weekend projects

I finally got around to finishing up a few projects this weekend.
Magnets.I made some of these a few months ago and decided to do some more this morning. Using only my latest Victoria Secret catalog, glue, flat back marbles and magnets I made these cute little ones….
I have to admit it was a tad weird [...]

Wishlist, pt. 3

Other random things that are totally awesome
Twine.
Ever since I bought the Martha Stewart baker’s twine at Micheal’s, I have been dying to get my hands on more. I especially love the big spools of the stuff. So much cheaper and I’m sure easier to use than those piddly Martha versions I bought.
Here are some current [...]

Wishlist, pt.2

I don’t know what it is with me and cupcakes. I will openly admit I’m slightly obsessed. I’ve found though that I’m really lacking some essential pieces to completing my cupcake circle.
Cupcake carrier.

As mentioned in a previous post, I need this big time! I currently have to lug my precious babies in a [...]

Birthday Wishlist

My birthday is coming up in a few weeks, the 28th to be exact. Mark claims the house is my present since we’re moving in 2 days before my big day. Don’t get me wrong, it is an awesome present and all, but I’m paying for it too. I consider it more as a ‘life [...]
