Sooo cute!

Sometimes I find things on crafty blogs that I can't wait to make but I just don't have an excuse for it...this is definitely one of those times. Check it out...just found Posh Pixels Design Studio blog and I came across these wonderful, adorable, perfect for spring/summer treat bags! I think I'll have to buy some white gerbera daisies at work soon and polka-dot them, put a cute little rhinestone in the center and voila! They're just so cute, I can hardly stand it! Loooove the stickers on the kisses idea too!


Can't wait to post the pictures of the cookies I made for my friend Kim's going away party tomorrow!

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across this blog, Treasury of Memories, there are soooo many cute ideas! My favorite: The Canvas Collection! I'm always looking for a good picture related craft. I've definitely been lagging on the picture taking the last couple of years (just ask my friend Tori) but after high school there just haven't been as many special events like there used to be. But I'm getting side tracked...here are just a few of my favorites, that inspired me the most...
All I want to do is make more, more, more!
Spring is here so I needed to ditch the St. Patty's Day door decor and come up with something new. This is the third time I've used a grapevine wreath as a front door wreath. They are really inexpensive and you can do anything you want with them, the possibilities are pretty much endless. The latest wreath was this fun spring time one...
This was super easy! Michael's has the already painted little wooden bugs and flowers and I just hot glued them to the wreath. I spray painted a wooden plaque and wrote our name on it with a black paint pen. Add a little (A Lot) of tulle and more ribbon at the top and there ya go!

The one before this was our Christmas wreath...

I purchased everything for this one at the store that I work at (DFC) and wired it on.

And my first grapevine wreath creation was not for my house but for a wedding gift. The groom went to UCLA and the bride went to USC. They both played baseball/softball all their lives. So I wanted to incorporate all of those things when I decided to make them a wreath. This is what I came up with..

It's kind of hard to see the UCLA symbol because of the flash. I used the little wooden pieces that you can get at Michael's or Joann's and tied them on with ribbon. For the school logos I just Modge Podged the logo that I printed off the internet onto a plain wooden round.
