Etsy Store - Sneak Peak!

A sneak peak of some of my items to be posted on my Etsy store!

Special occasions made-to-order invitations and cards will be my main focal specialty! :) :) :)

Post marriage interior decorating

My husband and I thought it's about time we graduated from post bachelor/bachelorette apartment-sized mismatched furniture living.

So last weekend we went to look for a nice dining set. We fell in love with a dining set at Pier 1 but the table was too big for our dining room. I couldn't quite let go of this French inspired tufted seats which was on clearance and super comfy on the booty! I looove it! Now we have to wait another season for a potential matching dining table to come out. :P

Last weekend we tackled the basement. Installed new storage units that we accidentally got for FREE! Check!

Project summer: paint walls and apply back splash to kitchen walls. :)

Handmade Card Organizer

This quick fun project is a card organizer but it can be used for coupons, receipts, pictures or any other stuff to stay organized! Each flap has a pocket for each month of the year... so I won't forget to send out birthday cards to friends and family for the remainder of the year! :)

Products used: American Crafts and Close to My Heart paper, Making Memories rub ons, EK Success stickers, Bind It All. :)

Baby Onesie

Monkey iron-on $4 at Joann's. Onesie $3 at Walmart. One minute to iron on. Cute little onesie, huh? :) This is part of my friend Janie's baby shower gift. Gotta personalize something! :P

Coral is the Color of Spring!

I've been noticing on Pinterest how people are using nail polish to add a touch of pizzazz on stuff like keys and jewelry.

The colorful necklace was my inspiration for my creations.

All it took was coral colored nail polish (just $1 at Walmart) and red rhinestones ($2 per pack on clearance at Michael's, bought 3 packs) to make a bracelet for my friend and a bib necklace! :)

I love the necklace!!! :)

Now I want to go out and buy a variety of nail polishes... so I can replicate the inspiration necklace! :)

Post Wedding Projects

#1 - Refurbishing this Cynthia Rowley 3 tier jewelry box that I got off the clearance rack at Marshall's for $15. I'm thinking of painting it bright teal... (inspired by my mother-in-law's painting skills) and adding a starfish recycled from my wedding. :)

Centerpieces

This was the "big vision" I had for MONTHS. For our wedding centerpieces, I envisioned tall cylinder vases partially filled with sand and seashells, then water filled up to close to the top, throw in one or two round floating candles.

Our first attempt at our centerpieces was an epic FAIL using real white sand. Real sand made the water murky. :( Round 2 worked nicely with fish tank sand. Crystal clear. :)
