a very special baby shower – diy baby shower decorations

December 30, 2011 12 Comments

So if you noticed my posts the past few weeks have been pretty erratic in terms of content and there wasn't a whole lot of Christmas decorating going on besides my tree and centerpieces. You also might have picked up on a sense of urgency to finish a ton of pending projects. Not as festive as you would think I would be, right? I've had a very good reason. We've been scrambling to finish up some of the to list while working on a special surprise baby shower for a dear friend. We were jammed with … [Read more...]

holiday gift wrap ideas

November 30, 2011 6 Comments

If you made out with some good loot from the Black Friday sales you probably have gift wrap on your mind. At least I do. I always grab a bunch of gift wrap on clearance after the holidays so I used up what I had on hand this year. I'm considering stocking on up kraft paper and embellishments for all the additional wrapping that I need to get done. So simple but lovely all the same.ViaViaViaHave you started wrapping yet? Any favorite ways to pretty up your gifts?Thanks for following Directions … [Read more...]

this is halloween – trick-or-treat bags

October 21, 2011 7 Comments

The possibility of actually having a decent amount trick-or-treaters this year made me go a little overboard with the candy and Halloween in general. When I was a kid, we used to leave a basket outside with little bags with candy for all the kids who would stop by our house while my parents would take my sister and me trick-or-treating. Even though we'll be home on Halloween night I still wanted to make little bags to give the kids. I had my handy bat punch and used some super sale coupons for … [Read more...]

this is halloween – bat wreath

October 7, 2011 9 Comments

Now that is is finally October, I can start decorating the outside of the house without the neighbors thinking I'm crazy. I didn't have any front door decor in my stash of Halloween decorations from the old house so I decided to make a wreath.This was a fun and easy wreath to make. A simple yarn base, some bats and a Trick or Treat mini banner along the inside.I simply wrapped the black yarn tightly around the entire wreath form. After I was done I went back and wrapped a gray piece of yarn … [Read more...]
