Valentine Heart Banner - Kid Craft

Got all four of my chickens involved in decorating this
year for February. I die cut out these hearts in white cardstock,
and let them go to town with craft paint and Q-Tips.

Love those sweet little hands...

After the hearts were dry, a simple hole punch for
ease of threading bakers twine (or you can use yarn)
and then die cut letters to spell your desired phrase.
You can also use stickers or draw directly onto 
the dry painted hearts with a sharpie marker, 
if you don't have die cuts for lettering.

Happy Decorating!!

Fall in LOVE with Decorating



Swung by Wally World today to snag a few of my favorite
glass jars (yup, I just said Wally World) and to my surprise, 
I found a few other fun items, to get me in the mood to pull
out the dreaded but fun orange topped tubs from storage...

Two pieces of black 'creepy' gauze, One large glass jar, One 
black large pumpkin, A sparkly BEWARE sign, A large black owl
and A roll of black sparkly tulle were the only purchases. 
The rest was tucked away, nothing got broken in the move, woohoo!!


I didn't realize my hubby had a fear of rats until last year,
when his co workers would leave them in unsuspecting places
and he'd end up chucking them back at them...haha
...let's see if he can find the two in our house! 


A little bit creepy, a little bit dreamy...
and a lot of fun, don't you think?

Vintage Circus Unisex Nursery Wall Art

After trying to locate all of the nursery photos to share with a friend 
the other day, I realized that I have not properly written a full post 
and shared photos, now that the nursery is completely done. 

The baby will be 9 months the end of this month, can't believe
it!! These photos were taken when she was a little bigger than a
newborn, 14 days old. She was a stinker and stayed awake
almost the entire photo shoot but I LOVE how they turned out.


The wooden Circus banner I found on Pottery Barn Kids for
a steal! Only $10 with free shipping, I couldn't pass it up!


The little red shelves are from Hobby Lobby, the perfect
planking of the repurposed window that I found on the curb
in Newport - thank you hubby for fixing it up a bit!

Robot Party Decor




I had a friend request a banner and cupcake toppers for a 
Robot baby shower she was hosting. A robot WHAT?..I said, haha.

I pulled out my ONE robot stamp, matched the colors to the
baby's room and thought everything turned out pretty cute!

Just listed these in my etsy shop, so if you're hosting a 
robot party, you've got a place to look!

and thank you to my friend Megan, for snapping a few photos

Vintage Circus Themed Baby Room (Part 2)

There are so many fun and whimsical features in our Vintage Circus Themed baby room, so I decided to split the photos up into a few different blog posts.

Below, I picked this canopy up from IKEA and pulled the nursery room colors from the pennants. Since we didn't know the sex of our baby, there is only a bit of pink in the room, on a few of the little circles on the canopy. But now that we know a little girl will be living here, the pink is perfect!


When we lived in Newport, I scored two of these old windows on someone's curb during trash day...they've traveled all the way to ND before one of them was transformed into a beautiful piece for the nursery. My hubby sanded down the window and then painted it a grey. He then aged it up a bit on the edges and then I lined the backs with some fabulous Circus paper I purchased through Stampin' Up!. As soon as I print out a few of the baby photos of our sweet little girl, I will put them inside a few of the window panes. I used washi tape to attach the papers inside the panes to make it easier to pull out when I'm adding the photos.



I added a sweet little paper banner for a bit of whimsy...


more to come...stay tuned!!

Easter Egg Painted Garland



This Easter egg garland was a fun project for my three chickens 
to make while we waited for the eggs to boil...

I used my Sizzix Oval XL die and cut several multicolored ovals. 
QTips work well for little hands and are easy peasy to toss after painting! 
We let our eggs dry, then cut two holes in them and strung on a piece of twine. 
A masterpiece indeed, my 2-1/2 yr. old loves pointing out the ones he did!

Vintage Horse Themed Birthday Party


I still can't believe my first born babe is now 8! 
She's infatuated with anything that has to do with horses, so after she helped me pick out the color scheme, I got to work on the invites and everything else fell into place. 

A simple invite tied with thick rope twine. I attached
our address label to the backs to let the party girls know where the
sleepover was being held.

I wrapped the two wine pictures we had hanging above the sidebar
in the kitchen to make for a rustic backdrop and to help the color
scheme flow.

cupcakes for her school classroom

The party girls enjoyed painting their own shirts, cowgirl style...and then a simple peel and stick horse themed craft of bookmarks and a foam boot before pizza dinner, cake and ice cream.


Then popcorn, movies and sleeping bags in the living room and waking up to chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, a great party indeed!
Pink streamers and a few balloons made for an inexpensive but
impressive backdrop behind the kitchen table.

A roll of wrapping paper was the perfect table runner with stamped
horseshoes, punched out with pink hearts.

And treat bag thank you's for the party girls, some rope Twizzlers
with a message from the Birthday Girl.

"Thanks for coming to my party, I hope you had a ropin' good time"

 What's your favorite party theme?? 
I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I enjoyed putting it all together!

Slacker Lurve

I couldn't think of a more perfect title and it does come with an explanation, NOT an apology (can't stand it when people apologize for not blogging, we all do have lives)! I may have been slacking on my blog and all things internet related recently but my Etsy shop has been keeping me quite busy. As did the holidays, military wife life, my three munchkins oh and a tiny factor that we are adding a fourth in July! So with the first trimester under my belt, this Mama is feeling like she's getting back on track, woo hoo! 

Without further ado, here are a few Valentine lovelies I whipped up for LeroyLime! 
Enjoy and Happy 2013

I decided to start up a mustache board on Pinterest

I've also got some fun mustache cupcake toppers, invitations & a party banner over at LeroyLime
