I la-la-love gingham. It is just the perfect spring and summer print. Perfect. I impulsively bought these gingham treat bags because they were just so very cute and I finally came up with a fun little project to make them even more summery, if that’s even possible. A few flowers, brads + baking twine and [...]

I’ve dialed down the color today significantly from yesterday, but for good reason (And don’t worry, neon will be back in tomorrow’s “five things”, any guesses??)! I shared a bunch of DIY Mother’s Day gifts last week, but I had to create one of my own too. Anyone else out there love those vintage French [...]

Hey, it’s May! There’s still time to celebrate May Day with this fun dessert, but if your thoughts are already set further ahead, I’ve got another food-i-fied DIY for you today! You know those little food picks with the fringey cellophane tops, often stuck in sandwiches and things of the like? Well, toss those out [...]

Since the past few Fridays I’ve been cutting out early for various reasons, I decided to make it up to you all with a bonus DIY! And a colorful one at that! Now you may not think you can combine a DIY for both Earth Day and Cinco de Mayo (and any other garden party [...]

Today’s DIY project is sponsored by Garnish – Packaging Life’s Moments. I have to be honest, today’s DIY project may just be my favorite to date! Color blocking is so very popular this season and I knew as soon as I saw the wooden cutlery on Garnish that I had to take the trend to [...]

Happy first day of spring!!! Congratulations to everyone for making it through yet another winter, and now it’s time for warm weather and lots of purdy colors! To bring a bit of spring to the blog today, I have a bright and punchy pink DIY… polka dot treat bags! Now of course, these don’t have [...]

Ever wanted to send someone something, but felt a card wasn’t enough and a gift was a little too much? Say, someone who just got a job promotion, or a close friend that you’ve agreed not to exchange gifts with? Well I had one of those moments recently when a friend got some very exciting [...]

Living just a few miles from the Kodak Theater, it’s needless to say that I know the Oscars are this weekend and preparations are well underway. But have you prepped for your own Oscar party yet? A little champagne and red carpet gossip may sound just right, but why not add a little sparkle too!? [...]

Now I may come from a very athletic, sports-crazy family, but somehow I missed that gene. I like a good football game now and then but, well, I like the Super Bowl a heck of a lot more for the commercials! E*Trade and Google are my personal favorites of the past, but we won’t get [...]

Who’s hosting a Super Bowl party this weekend!? You’ve got the chips, the dip, the beer… but what about a little something to keep the kids (and kids at heart) entertained? I thought playing a Super Bowl themed round of Bingo would be a great way to keep them entertained (and quiet) throughout the game. Kids [...]

Have you all ever heard of the Lovely Package Exchange? Well, it’s a fantastic idea that Danni of Oh, Hello Friend came up with to allow all of us pretty-packaging lovers to both give and receive a beautifully wrapped gift. Hallelujah! I participated in the latest exchange and was paired with Stephanie of Sweet Symphanie. [...]

This is a simple little cupcake stand that can be whipped up with just four “ingredients!” A wooden round, a decorative votive holder (or other base), spray paint and of course the trusty hot glue gun! Color options are limitless and I love the idea of making several and mixing and matching the bases (you [...]
