I always get excited when the end of school rolls around. While it can be a little overwhelming at times with all of the activities, meetings and events it also means that things like Teacher Appreciation Week, end of school activities and our annual last day of school party aren't far behind. Over the years I've created lots of fun teacher appreciation gifts and this year I decided to break out my Cricut Maker to create this special DIY Teacher Appreciation Pennant Banner.

Anyone else feel like winter stretched on forever? After a fairly blah start to the new year I'm ready to for a fresh start, and craving sunshine and color!

Simple Easter Egg Decorating Ideas
March 14, 2018 by · 2 Comments
Simple Easter Egg Decorating Ideas. Can I be honest? I super hate decorating Easter Eggs. The dye and glitter ends up everywhere, the store bought stickers never stick, the white crayon is a joke, and they never look pretty...and I won't even mention the idea of hiding real decorated eggs. That said, I have a huge supply of fake plastic eggs, but they look like everyone else's fake plastic Easter Eggs, until now! I decorated a dozen eggs with sweet little spring vinyl in about 10 minutes … [Read more...]

Lucky St. Patrick’s Day Mantel Decor

One of my favorite spots in our house is the giant shiplap wall in my living room. It was one of the first major DIY home improvement projects my husband and I tackled when we bought our new house, and this 20 foot wall makes a big impact. It's also one of my favorite places to decorate during the holidays. I love being able to change out my holiday decor above the fireplace and brighten things up with simple and easy decor. I recently teamed up with my friends at … [Read more...]
