DIY: Transform Your Baby Shower Cards into Nursery Art!
When I was thinking about DIY projects I wanted to make for our baby girl's nursery, I had an idea one day while driving to work and I'm excited to share with you the final result. I love receiving cards and I always find myself keeping them in a box or drawer somewhere and never looking at them again. I love the memories they represent and ...
DIY Nursery Artwork: Pretty Balloons
I really wanted a few of the artwork pieces in our baby girl's nursery to be hand made and I'm currently on my third piece so thought I would share a quick tutorial. You can see my DIY gold polka-dot piece here. This one was actually inspired by something I saw on Pinterest, but I went in another direction with mine: My finished ...

Having said that, our master bedroom has always been very blah to me (and still is). I don't love that it doesn't have a lot of windows and that overall is just feels really boring. ...
How to Make Your Own Christmas Ornaments (They Make Great Gifts Too!)
When I was a teen, I had this crazy idea one day that I was going to make over our Christmas tree. I was bored of the traditional looking trees and wanted something completely different. I decided to do a pink and gold theme and even spray painted old ornaments we had gold so I would only have to buy new pink ones. While I was doing this, I ...
Weekend Shopping: (Thank God for AE’s Boyfriend Shorts), Essie’s Pink Parka & Homemade Cards
What a random post title, huh? So much happened today that I didn't quite know what to call this post, but I'll start at the beginning. I got to meet one of my LOVELY blog readers today. She had bought several items from my blog sale and since she also lives in Houston we decided to meet at a local Starbucks. Ilham is the most awesome ...
