After living with the Yo Gabba Gabba Mantle for almost a month it was time to up my game. I was lucky enough to be picked for an American Crafts glitter campaign and tons of glittery goodness arrived at my doorstep. This is what I did with that glittery goodness. The paper bunting was so simple to make. The glitter paper came in 12x12 sheets, like your typical scrapbook paper. I cut it in half (two 6x12 inch strips). I then cut each strip into three parts (each 4 inches). This left ...

Pirate Party Dessert Table/Feature Wall
Quinn's birthday party was two weekends ago, he officially turned four on the sixth. Everytime I say: "I cannot believe you are four!" Quinn's says: "Mom, are you gonna cry?" Yup, they grow up so fast. So, so, so fast. At any rate, I think it is about time I got to sharing the deets on his Pirate party. I have a lot I want to share, but today I am just going to focus on the dessert table/feature wall. The wall went from fall: to Pirate Party: To Halloween: We ...
My Valentine’s Wall
I wanted to break this down in a few posts, but I am just so excited to show you it I cannot sit on it anymore. I figure I can give you the run down on a few things in future posts.

When we first hung the gallery wall I didn't know that we would be switching out the art and playing with it as much as ...
Birthday Bash
Well the little guy couldn't have had a more perfect day for his birthday or his birthday party. Here, in Wisconsin, we welcome 70 degree weather in October. The little guy requested a Badger birthday party so that is what he got. Obviously, they don't really make stuff for Badger birthday parties, it is more for tailgating/football parties. Anyhow, we did our best to make it fun and festive. Since he was only turning three it was mostly family and just a few little ones. One way we decorated ...
Balloon Topiary
This past weekend we celebrated the little guy's birthday. Some of you remember the balloon wreath I made for his party (here). I also made two balloon topiaries for decorations. Sometimes I think I am nuts putting so much effort into decorations for a three year old's party, but when he woke up Saturday morning and saw the house all decorated for his party he was so excited. The whole point is to make him feel special, to make that day feel different from every other day. So yes, maybe I am a ...
