Happy Monday! We had a great weekend including helping out with a surprise beer tasting party at a friend's house. In all the the excitement and last minute prep, we forgot the camera so I apologize for the iPhone photos. We had a hard time getting the birthday boy ouf the house to set up so it called for some last minute running around. This is the bottle cap inspired cake that was made with some of the snacks in the background. I'm thankful I was not trusted to make the cake. I made the … [Read more...]
beer tasting party – ideas
I have a dear friend who has made me her party planner. She is very sneaky. She'll ask me for my opinion on something and gets me hooked on the idea. Before I know it, I'm making all sorts of things before I have even realized what is happening. Baby shower? Done. First birthday party for her son? Done. Wedding? I have a list of to-dos to last me until their November wedding date. And yes, they did things backwards. She even told the priest I was her wedding planner before telling me! She's … [Read more...]
power of pinterest – tips & tricks
So I'm a marketing exec by day. Educated, experienced, and all that jazz but for the first 8-10 months of the existence of this blog I didn't use much of the knowledge I had to work in favor of this blog. To be honest, I started this just to keep our dear friends who live far away updated on the progress of the house renovations. Then one day I posted a crafty thing I made and received more comments than ever. I thought I would throw my craft stuff into the mix, and since then the blog started … [Read more...]
happy birthday to me and a personalized map gift
Happy Valentine's Day! I'm reluctantly celebrating by 31st birthday today. I don't think I mind the age part, must be that I still haven't gotten over being born on this holiday ;) We are keeping it low key just like I want it. Just a nice evening with the hubby, the mutts, sushi take out and a nice bottle of wine to celebrate.I haven't bought the Ray a Valentine's gift in years but I figured this year would be as good as any to change that. I bought them last month and was so excited about how … [Read more...]
personalizing a white t-shirt – freezer paper stencil
Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Did anyone stay up late watching the Grammy's last night? I'm not one to watch award shows but I try not to miss the Grammy's. Especially with Sir Paul McCartney playing twice during the show and Adele sweeping the awards. Totally worth being a little exhausted this morning. Freezer paper stencils are now my "go-to" way to personalize a gift for the little ones in my life. One of our little loves turned a year old this weekend so I wanted to make her a … [Read more...]
25 things random things about me
I love lists. I love writing them, crossing them out and making them for no reason. When I saw this fun little party being hosted over at Pefectly Imperfect via Cassie and Gail, I knew I had to join.

My three dogs are named after Bob Dylan or his songs.3. My favorite part of the day is cuddling with Ray and the mutts right before … [Read more...]
a favor please, if you want a reply – fixing no-reply blogger
Let's be honest here, this blog is pretty small. Okay, really small. I'm nice person too so I if you took the time to reply to a post, I want to thank you or answer your question. Honestly, I do! Sadly, the last few weeks as my readership has started to grow, I've had so many questions I have not been able to answer. So if you gave me some advice on my succulents, asked some questions about my craft room, or maybe commented on some of my recent craft projects and I didn't respond, it isn't … [Read more...]
