I found this at Leaf & Letter Handmade. Loved it. Maybe more than Abbie ; ) Such a fun way to spend some time on a day too cold to go outside – give baby girl a spontaneous, middle-of-the-day bath with finger paint! {Though, it’s 70F here today – so obviously this post hung around … Continue reading »
We’ve had a couple new families move in across the street this past month. I brought them some chocolate chip cookies to welcome them! Here’s a copy of the tag, if you happen to have new neighbors moving in soon too ( :
This post is a bit old, and has been waiting in the queue – but it seems time to share! Obviously there is nothing too complicated with this project, but pictures make things much more interesting : ) One $5 shutter from our local Habitat Restore. Several coats of leftover paint. And add one grapevine … Continue reading »
Do you remember my exciting announcement awhile back, about our dear friends Chase & Laura? Well this past weekend we threw Laura a Bridal Shower! These were the invitations : ) They are quite similar to my Baby Shower invitations that were inspired by Jones Design Company’s vintage invites. The format of the invitation was inspired here. Paper buntings. The … Continue reading »

Welcome to a new, summery version of town{homemade} I felt it was time for a change… This project came to life because the words I chose to decorate with are the chorus of a hymn I sing to Abbie almost every time I lay her down to sleep. It is my prayer that she grows … Continue reading »
Happy Mother’s day to my mom and mom in law : ) You both are such wonderful ladies that Stephen and I are so blessed to have as moms. {Old Newspaper Types font} These words were printed on to my stationary using my Silhouette’s sketch pens. {Janda Apple Cobbler font} {Patterns & Dots font} She’s … Continue reading »
Vanilla lollipops : ) Let’s not pretend that all crafts come out the way they’ve been dreamed up to be. This candy-making adventure is a great example of that ; ) Above, you see a cookie sheet full of powdered sugar. I had used a cookie cutter wrapped in plastic wrap to make the butterfly … Continue reading »
This was just fun and simple. I love this twine. Start with a little drop of acrylic paint in a glass jar, add {a little} water, put on the lid, shake, remove the lid, and air dry. Decorate. And then I made a few that were simply tin cans painted white. It was such an inexpensive way … Continue reading »
