I am so flipping excited to show you Eleanor's reading nook. Last week I shared a mood board, AKA- my plan for her reading nook. The Cutting Edge Stencil- Herringbone Allover is the key piece to this reading nook. It defines the space and is that little extra something special. And because EVERYONE loves a good before. I absolutely love, love, love how it turned out. I cannot wait for little E to see it. She is going to love hiding away in there and looking at her ...

A Valentine Wrap Up With A Kindle Fire Giveaway

That was Cutting Edge Stencils. I am in love with the results. I feel like they completely finish ...

Valentine's Day is our next holiday. Can you believe it? Man-oh-man is time just flying by. I actually think of Valentine's Day as a kid's holiday. Might have something to do with years of celebrating Valentine's day in school as a student. You know... with the decorated bag or mailbox, the carefully selected Valentines (Hey, you don't want to give anyone the wrong idea), and loads of sweets. As an adult I went on to celebrate Valentine's day in school with my students. So to me it has always ...
