SUMMER FUN!

Summer is here and many moms find themselves scrambling to find things to do with their kids, places to go and the kicker, trying to find all that without going broke. Trying to entertain kids all summer can be challenging for some moms. I get it, I've been there, and well, I am still there. 😂

My girls and I always enjoy going into Dallas to visit the Art Museum. When we are done we usually go grab some lunch from the food trucks that are lined up by Klyde Warren Park, right outside the art museum. It's relaxing and the food is so yummy!

Happy Summer!

Are we Sleighin' or Slayin' ?

I hope you are having a great start to this new year! As I was putting up Christmas I thought about how I had not shown this cute wood round sign. I love that it can go up in October and stay up through Christmas. This sign gives me all the Hallmark feelings. I've been contemplating making a few of these to list. 🤔 I will get back to you on that. Speaking of Christmas - Anyone feel like it just zoomed right by at a high rate of speed this year? I totally did. Materials used: Wood, acrylic paint, gold, green and red foil paper and some rope and ribbon for hanging. Everything cut on my laser. Thank you for swingin' by. Until next time, Maddie

I played around adding some gold leaf foil to a few leaves. It was a big rose and a rather heavy one at that, so I decided to just do the one and leave the other rose out. It would have been too bulky. Using some floral tape, floral wire and some hot glue I put the boutonniere together. For a soft more vintage look I added some vintage lace I had on hand and finished it off with some ribbon. This boutonniere was a hit and it was a fun piece to do. Thanks for popping in, Maddie

Gift Tags

I have been "spring cleaning" because I feel I haven't done a good job at that the last couple of years - lol. I usually have banners for every holiday and put them up on the mantel in the living room. It helps me and the familyget into the spirit of whatever holiday is up. I had one I really liked but I know I will be doing something different this year, so I decided to make these cute tags. I love gift tags. I especially like to make some and have them on hand ready to use. I didn't take a picture of the banner before I took it apart, but basically it was just the string that I cut off. 😅 These cute snowflakes tags were purchased from the Dollar Store a couple years back. I removed the silver elastic string off of each snowflake since I will be combining them to the other snowflake from the banner I took apart. You can use a sharpie and write To & From on the back of the tags, a fun message or they look great as is. I love personalizing items when I can, a...
