2020 Christmas Gift Guide for Littles

Merry Christmas!! Okay, I know, it’s not even Halloween yet, but really, this weather, and THIS YEAR, pretty sure we can say Merry Christmas now.

Friday Favorites October 23

Happy Friday! Is it me or did this week fly by? I’m always surprised when we make it to Friday. This week I shared a tutorial on how to make resin letters and you all loved it so much.

Make Your Own Ghost Banner DIY

These ghost banners have been everywhere lately, and I love them, but I don’t want to spend $25 on one. So, I got together the supplies to make them (I spent under $5 for the supplies) and put it all together in a few nights. In reality, I could have done it in one night, but this growing baby is really wearing me out these days. Anyways, I love the way they turned out and am thinking about making a few more as friend gifts. If you end up making one of these banners I… Read More
