Gift Tag!

Gift wrapping and tag making are fun for me and I made these tags a while back for a bottle.

I used my Congrats stamp and added 3 buttons to the tag. Also I wrapped a fabric grosgrain ribbon around the bottle.

The glue wasnt dry yet when I took these pictures.... Make sure to use fabric glue to close the ends.

This was so simple and easy to do with materials I had around the house. I think it totally dressed up this "presentation" of the bottle and made it unique! Perfect for holiday, birthday, and congrats gift!

Behind!

I'm so far behind on my blog postings. There are so many projects and DIY's that I need to add.

Stay tuned for:

• my bathrooms before and afters- painting stripes, staining cabinets, removing textured ceilings!
• Nora's halloween homemade skirt- Alison created the fabric then created a cute skirt!
• my bedroom before and afters- new bedding, drapes, and a de-clutter!
• Plus there is another baby shower in my near future! So excited to be throwing it!

Sorry people... I dont know how people work full time and blog full time!! Ill try to keep up!

Pillow Talk!

On a trip to Home Goods today I found this gorg round graphic pillow. I was immediately in love.



The aqua was awesome and the bold pattern was what I've been looking for! Two left on the clearance shelf. They are big too, about a 2 foot diameter.

Ohhh don't be jealous!!

Mums the word!

Mums, a Texas Time honored tradition. I have no idea why, but every year for homecoming high school girls wear mums and the boys wear garters. I had the opportunity to assemble one of these mums Thursday night. It's pretty simple because you buy the pieces at Micheal's and just glue it all together.



I cut ribbons various lengths (the girls like them long). Then just hot glued everything to the back.




We tied cow bells and beads to it and I curled up some ribbon too. People around town charge $55-$80 for these things!! I think mine turned out ok.




Cristina seemed to like it alright except she wasn't too happy with her date, Jared, who was supposed to buy/make it. Oh the high school drama!

Nora's First!

Alison's daughter Nora had her first birthday last month. It was mermaid themed and check out these cute invites Alison created!



She tied up tiny little sand dollar and/or star fish punch outs with twine around the hand delivered invite!

The inside was really cute too. She glued on some die cuts and printed on vellum. The whole party was "under the sea" inspired! It was so cute! 

Great job Alison!

Alpha Stamps and Koozies!

I love my Martha Stewart Alpha Stamp Set. I use it all of the time! I make tags with it. See BABY tag here.
I also used it on a wedding gift for Jenna and Tom.

I bought super cute (and inexpensive) foam koozies for beverages. I then stamped BRIDE and GROOM on each one. They turned out great!

I also made a tag for Jenna and Tom to go with the koozies:

I wish the alpha stamp set had numbers in it too.. My handwriting is not so good looking next to the stamps. Ill just have to save up my monies for the numeric set!
