It doesn't take much to get me to smile. Especially, when it involves craft goodies. I had a nice day with two of my cousins yesterday for an IKEA trip and lunch date. J wanted to thank me for something I helped her with so she decided that a gift bag of crafty presents was the most appropriate way. Do you see that stash? The craft hoarder in me had to try and regain my composure while looking through the gift bag. I am so excited to try everything out! Ray on the other hand, looked at glitter … [Read more...]
gallery wall – not the inspirational kind
I love my craft room, I really do. Is it perfect? No, come on, I'm a real person. It looks pretty in pictures but there is cat hair on things and an overall mess on more days than I want to admit. There is a wall in the craft room I rarely show. The intention was for it to be a gallery wall of all inspirational images and things. Right now it is not that...it is looking okay but not what I really wanted. I'm not thrilled about the placement. It needs some fine tuning and in places where there … [Read more...]
beer tasting party – a success
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...]
