Monogram Love

I was inspired by my iPhone case for this one.  I was going to make it my initials but decided I like the way the R looked alone.

Super easy to make.  I used painters tape to get the perfect stripes and a compass for the circle.  I free handed the 'R' but you could use a stencil too.




DIY Cork Picture Frame

We wanted to show a few pictures of he happy couple and I decided to figure something out using only things I had around the house.  This is the result!




How to make
  • Step 1: Frame a cork sheet with ribbon using a glue gun
  • Step 2: Prop up with a stand that sticks to the back of the cork
  • Step 3: Pin the pictures (be careful b/c they will stick out the back


Entertaining Under the Big Top


There was no way we were going to be able to fit 100 people inside the house so we decided to set up outside.  We started with a boring white tent and transformed it into a mini-banquet ... and it was super easy and cheap!  We just used some tissue pom-poms and tulle.  Check it out!

Grab a Mimosa

My cousins bridal shower was a few weeks ago and I was in charge of the decorations and the mimosa bar.  SOO here is how the mimosa bar turned out.
