Happy Valentines, Blessing Ring, and a Tutu

Happy Valentines Day Friends! Really quick post as I'm walking out the door to work.

I have a surprise baby shower to go to today for a co-worker and I made her a blessing ring.  Seriously the easiest thing ever to make!!  All you need is a necklace ring from a craft store and ribbons.  Then you can add any embelishment you like.

And I also made her a tutu in her school colors.  She went to Virginia Tech and so did her husband and they are die hard fans.  So I think she'll really love this!!

Hope you all have a wonderful V Day!!!

Fall Wreath!

 Hi Friends!  I'm so excited about this little craft project that I just completed!  I saw this post over at Thrifty Decor Chick and thought, I can totally do that!!!

All you need is a piece of foam board and some fall leaves from the Dollar Tree and a red crayon if you don't have any spray paint like me.  That's it!!!  Now I did a few different things to mine, like just cutting the foam board out with a knife and scissors, I think Thrifty Decor Chick used a jigsaw (I don't own one of those).  And she spray painted her square and I just colored mine, worked fine. 

I did measure a 20 x 20 piece and then went four inches on each side and cut the middle out.  And her leaves were different than mine, I couldn't find those nifty little packets that she was talking about so I just went with the basic leave bunches, you know that you could add to a vase or something like that.  And just plucked them off the stems and ended up with two leaves per bunch. 

I bought 5 bunches and just organized the leaves all around with a hot glue gun and 30 minutes later.................TA-DA!!!  I really like the way it turned out!  I'm actually giving it to a girlfriend of mine because she's been looking for a fall wreath for a couple weeks now. 

So for a total of 7 dollars (5 for the leaves and 2 for the foam board) you too can have a shabby fall wreath that will work right through Thanksgiving!

And this is a very random little tid-bit but I cleaned out my junk drawer in the kitchen.  Everyone's got one right?  Our got out of control so I pulled everything out and reorganized it, but I don't feel like you can really tell a big difference.  I think I need to get those little bins from Target that organize things for you??  The after is the first one! : )

TGIF tomorrow!!!!

A Little Bit Crafty

Happy Monday everyone! I went on a little blogging vacation and now I'm back! Just a quickie post to show what I made my nephew Colby for his 1st Birthday a few weeks ago! It's a little plaque or it can be a door hanger for his room. My inspiration was a very similar looking design on Etsy and I thought it was so cute and also that it was something I could probably do as well. My only problem was the letters! I hand painted them and I think in future I'll get some paint pens to make the letters look better.

Has anyone done anything crafty lately? I just love looking through blogs and seeing what people are making!!!

A blog that I found a little while ago and is now on my blog roll to the left is Tater Tots and Jello and she is awesome!!!! I love her weekend wrap up party!

Wedding Towel Cake!

My first stab at making a wedding towel cake!!! This is for my maid of honor's shower on Friday!

These are her towels that she registered for and one of her flowers is the tiger lily! I'm sitting it on top of a cake stand that I got from target.....it's so cute, it can be used as a cake stand that has a cover AND you can use it as a punch bowl!! I love it, I actually registered for one myself!!

Not to bad for my first try huh?!
