Eventually, one of the items (a ceramic candle topper) was murdered in a tragic garage cleaning incident.  I still intend on repurposing my items…but I’m not in such a hurry […]

Pink and Pearl Babyshower

I was ecstatic when given the opportunity to make custom decorations for a baby shower.  A few projects have been in mind but never a reason to make them.  I despise being wasteful with my time and money, so I refused to make something “just because”. Artistic freedom and a dress for inspiration, were given […]

Nerf Party Tips without Going Overboard

My son’s 6th Birthday party was a success…and we did it without overdoing the Nerf theme!  Don’t get me wrong.  It looks fabulous to serve cheese puffs as Nerf darts…but it’s not for me.  I personally think it’s going a little overboard to relabel bottled water and serve unhealthy snacks just because of it’s color/shape.
