I overestimated how much felt I needed to make my felt garland. So I went to Pinterest to find inspiration. Since spring is the theme, I thought pinwheels would make playful flowers.

I recently hosted a bridal shower and since it is a spring wedding the theme incorporates fresh colors of vibrant greens and beautiful purples. Since no party is complete without a banner, it was the first idea to come to mind for decorations.
I had the pleasure of hosting a bridal shower for my dear friend, Laura. Myself, another Bridesmaid, Jessica, and Laura’s mom Pam all pitched in to make this a memorable day. And, we had beautiful weather taboot!

A while back we tore out a wall, old carpet, and some of the vinyl in the kitchen/dinning area.

The kitchen floor revamp started when we tore down a wall that separated the dining/kitchen area and the living room.Here you can see the remnants of the wall and the living room where I tore up the carpet.
When I was a child, my parents displayed Christmas cards on a felt santa clause that my mom made. They would pin the cards to him, and there he would hang throughout the holiday reminding us of all those who sent tidings of cheer. Continue reading
This week I wanted to focus on a few easy crafts that can double as decorations for both the home (perhaps for the tree, or a window dressing) and gift packaging. Here are a few that I found that are SO sweet!
