Paper crafts {owls}

These are so fun to make. They would make great decoration for an owl themed birthday or baby shower.
Go to 3 Eyed Bear to see all the colors and to print yours.

diy {vintage tins+lazy susan art caddy}

I love everything about this project. It reuses something that normally would just be thrown out or thrown in the recycling bin, I'm in love with the vintage labels, it's easy and free! Go here for the tutorial and free vintage label printables.

The second project is a lazy susan art caddy.  It's a great way to keep all those art and crafts supplies all in one place.

What I'm thinking I'm gonna do is combine these two projects to make my own more eclectic version. I also think I'm gonna try to use epoxy to attach the tins on to the lazy susan verses screwing them on like they do in the tutorial. Either way it's a great easy little project.

Party inspiration {cookies and milk}

Since I'm in party planning mode obviously here's another theme I love. I loved this theme the minute I saw it last year. I would do it if my kids were younger. For some reason I just see this has a 1st birthday or even up to a 4th birthday. It's also a great party for either a girl or a boy.

Also some great cupcakes to go with this theme would be these chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes  instead of cake or you could do both!

Or how about these cookie monster cupcakes. These would be great for the boy themed version.

Party inspiration {printable photo booth sign+tickets}

 I've mentioned before I'm throwing a "In A Flash" themed party for my daughter. These will be a perfect addition to the party! These would also work for a wedding or a carnival themed birthday.

Party inspiration {retro milkshake bar}

Seriously what's not to love about this?

From the chalkboard menus to the striped red and white straws the whole thing is just amazing. This idea is actually a wedding reception but I think this could be used for anything from a birthday to a beginning of summer celebration. You can check out even more pictures at Elizabeth Anne Designs.

Upcycling {Pretty bottles}

I am a bottle collector. I'm pretty sure I get this from my dad, he would save all different types of jars and bottles and I'm not really sure for what. He never ended up doing anything with them. In fact I ended up inheriting some of them. There are not many things that I keep but for whatever reasons I always hesitant before throwing away glass jars or bottles too. So when I saw this project I knew I would be doing it.


This ones from Martha Stewart. I love the different colors . She just used white enamel paint and swirled it into each jar which brought out the different color variations of the glass.
