Pinspiration!!

Just like so many other people...and I am not afraid to admit this...

I AM ADDICTED TO PINTEREST!!!

So recently I decided to start being more creative!! It all started with a Fall/Thanksgiving wreath I made for my front door!

Then while trying to figure out what to get my best friend for her 30th birthday...it hit me...make her a wreath!! So I checked with her sister and looked at her Christmas pictures from last year and came up with this beauty!  It was a HIT!! 

*how fab is that red and green zebra print!  made me wanna change my colors to red and green!*

So after two successful wreaths down I decided to embark on one for my front door for Christmas!

I..AM..IN..LOVE!!

I think I have taken my peacock obsession to a whole new level!!  



Each  year at church we have an adult Christmas party...we play Dirty Santa Bingo...women choose a woman's gift and men choose a man's gift...When you BINGO you go to the table and choose a gift and open it in front of everybody and when somebody else hits bingo they can choose a gift or they can take one that somebody else has!  This year I made this Santa wreath...it was the most popular gift there!  It changed hands 4 time!! It ended up with one of my best friends!! I already have an order for one from my mom's best friend!!

And wreaths haven't been the only thing I've been making...my best friend asked me if I knew where she could find tutu skirts for her girls to wear to their bday party..I said don't pay what they want for those...I will make them!! It was super easy and took me about an hour total to make both of them!! She loved them and the girls loved them!! 

this is a snack I made for the Christmas party that is also inspired from Pinterest!  It was one of the favorite desserts..it is just powdered doughnuts, candy corn (with the white and yellow cut off) and black gel!  Super easy to make and so cute!!

What all have you made as inspiration from Pinterest!!

Getting Crafty

For those of you who know me Jade is never without a bow in her hair!! I have been buying her hairbows from a girl on FB for a while but she has all of the sudden become very unreliable!  So I am thinking about learning how to make my own bows for her!  Anybody know any good sites that show how to do just that? 

 

I am also working on some tutu wreaths that I am wanting to make and sell on fb and on here...I am working on a Tennessee Vols one that I can't wait to see it when it's finished!  I would make them to order for local teams, NCAA, NFL...even thought house divided ones would be cute! 


I love working on crafts!  I'm sure there will be more things I want to start making!  Watch out Hobby Lobby and Michael's!!

Gettin' Crafty!

I've been working on some cute decorations for the upcoming Tennessee football season...

they are also going to double as decorations for Jade's birthday party next month..we are doing a Tennessee cheerleader theme!

Front Door hanger...I am thrilled with how it has turned out!

I got this cute plate at Hobby Lobby last night for 40% off! It came with a red and white polka dot ribbon which I will use for Valentine's day next year but for football season I had to do the orange and white! I've got to get mom to fix the bow...she is way better at bows than I am!

I ordered Jade's birthday party invitations from Vistaprints and this is what that front looks like and the back is white with orange writing and it says "2..4..6..8 Come and help us celebrate Jade's 2nd birthday" They are so cute and I can't wait to get them next week!

With all this party planning I've been doing..It's still hard to believe my sweet angel will be 2 next month!!

My sweet girl the day she was born!!
