Wheatgrass Easter Centerpieces
I grew wheatgrass for several projects last Easter and really enjoyed the process. […]

Toy Animal Valentines
This Valentine card idea and printable from Sarah M Style is so amazingly awesome. I assembled a few for my adventure-and-animal-loving husband and hid them with treats around the house! I even happened to have the miniature animals (from Michaels) and pre-cut pieces of twine on hand. Expect to see the animals in the leading …
Sail Boat Napkins
When my wife decided to throw a baby shower for my sister-in-law, she asked me to make boats out of paper napkins. What do you mean, boats out of napkins!? Ummm, napkins (especially paper ones) definitely do not float. However, it turns out that for hundreds of years, people in Japan have been successfully turning …
Colorful Dessert Stands
My nautical dessert table needed more color and height, and dessert stands seemed like the obvious choice. If your cake stand collection is like mine (um, I only own one!) and isn’t as extensive as Bountiful (lovvvve), you might want to whip up a few of these for your next party! I bought two glass …
Happy Halloween!
Schrödinger and his cat hope you ate lots of great candy tonight, and avoided any flasks of poison! We weren’t sure if Pixel would be dead or alive… But luckily, he was alive! Those pesky flasks of poison… After repeatedly proclaiming that we weren’t going to dress up this year, we decided to throw these …
Potted Flower Favors and Flags
As I’ve mentioned before, I love favors. For a recent baby shower, I bought a few six packs of annuals and potted them in biodegradable pots to give as thank yous. The mass of favor flowers also served as an instant decoration, beautifully covering the cabinet in my entryway. I added little “Merci Beaucoup” flags …
French-Themed Baby Shower
I recently had the honor of hosting a baby shower for my friend Grace. I particularly enjoyed planning this shower knowing that Grace’s affinity for Europe meant I could make the party a little fancy and a little French and not necessarily the typical baby boy party! The day before the shower, I headed to …
Polka Dot Easter Eggs
I just can’t get enough of polka dots. Just like the polka dot pumpkins that I […]
Play Donuts and Donut Pops
Our goddaughter’s second birthday was a Sunday-morning donuts-and-coffee celebration. The kids were adorable with their donuts, sugar rush and all! For our gift, to compliment the cute apron set we found, I wanted to add some play pastries in keeping with the party theme. I wasn’t thrilled with the store-bought play food options, so I …
A Birthday Banner
This shape is my new favorite for banners! I don’t know what it’s called — notched rectangle? Forked flag? But it works well with plain or patterned paper, with letters or not. It’s so much more fun than triangles, and so much easier to hang than circles! I made this banner for a first birthday …
