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!? [...]

I hope you all had the chance to enjoy the long weekend! I have a simple little last minute party for you today.

Oh boy, I was so caught up in Valentine festivities that I completely forgot about Presidents’ Day! With the hope that most of you have the day off today, I’m going to encourage you to go out and enjoy your extra day of relaxation and leave you with a little preview of whats to come [...]

Ahhh! That’s just all I have to say (er… scream) when I see so many colors and patterns wrapped up into photo. Bayou Moon makes the prettiest party hats and I was in birthday heaven when I came across them in her Etsy shop. She’ll custom make them for you in any color or pattern [...]

Is everyone detoxing from the red + pink + heart overload that is Valentine’s Day? I have to say I always get sad when I have to pack up my Valentiney decor that gets strewn across the apartment each February 14th but now it’s on to the next holiday… St. Patrick’s Day! I am Irish [...]

I know, I said leftover chocolate. You’re probably thinking “leftover”? But I should explain… I’m not saying you shouldn’t eat all that chocolate you got for Valentine’s Day or those leftover chocolate candies from your kid’s Valentine party, I’m just saying you may want to get a little creative with it! Here’s a few ideas [...]

Happy happy Valentine’s Day (again)! This day always has me so excited and this little heart-filled engagement session has me even more ecstatic than usual.

Oh my [...]

Bet you didn’t think it could get any simpler than the heart streamers I shared last week, huh? Wrong! Today all you need is one supply for this fun Valentine’s Day game… heart stickers! Any sort of heart stickers really, foam ones (like I used) or just plain old stickers, they all work. The name [...]

Thought you could get away from all the printables this week, huh? Nope! I’m squeezing one last one in there for you, and it’s a good one. Now, you can thank The Busy Budgeting Mama’s Pretty Paperie Printables Etsy store for this one, a super cute fish inspired Valentine printable that you can fill with [...]

Who’s crafting a few last minute Valentines this weekend? That would be me! My Valentine greetings may be a little late this year but hey, sometimes it’s fun to receive a little something in the mail after everything stops coming. Gotta look at the positives people! I am also super excited to be attending Unique [...]

As a final dose of DIY Valentine’s Day inspiration I’m going to throw a lot at you… in a good way! There’s nothing better than finding multiple uses for something and with today’s printable I’ve found three! Hip hip, hooray! I guess I have a thing for candy conversation hearts this year (See here) and [...]

My favorite Valentine’s Day craft supplies as a kid were paper doilies. I loved them and we had a craft cabinet full of them. So in honor of all who also have a special love for paper doilies. I’ve rounded up five great things to do with them! Get the kids involved and use these [...]
