{Magazine Monday} "Sequined" Pillows

This idea comes from the EveryDay with Rachel Ray  September Issue.

 In the issue, green decorating expert Danny Seo shares some really great ideas and this was my favorite. He used colored safety pins to make the letters on these pillows! This picture honestly does not do them justice. In the magazine you can see the safety pins more closely and they have such a cool look. I think these are so adorable and would make great personalized gifts! Find the instructions here.

{Creationz} Farm Princess Tractor Party

This was a party I was really excited about doing. It was for my friends' daughter and was a farm princess tractor theme. You might remember the sneak peek of the invite here.

Happy Labor Day!

Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day!

xoxo,

Monica

{Creationz} Friendship Bracelets



With school starting and friends being made I remembered these bracelets I used to make

when I was in school.  My daughter comes home from school talking about the friends she's made and

my niece called me the other night telling me how some new friends gave her a friendship bracelet. So, I thought I'd make some for both of my favorite school girls and maybe they can pass some on to their new friends.

{Magazine Monday} Portable Game Boards

Today's magazine favorite comes from the Martha Stewart Living August 2010 Issue.

 I haven't had too many outdoor picnics this year but this will definitely be coming with me on my next one! The issue also had a great tic-tac-toe one and that's the one I'd like to make to play with my kiddies. I think this is a really cute idea to make as a gift as well and not to mention cheap! (You can find placemats at the dollar store to make one of these.) So head out and buy one (or two or three) and find the instructions here.

{Friday Fave} My Baby Girl - The Kindergartener

Time goes by soooo fast and it definitely felt a little too fast to me this week when I found myself taking my baby to school. I took the picture above on my last day of work, after resigning to stay home with my daughter. And somehow, my baby grew up...very, VERY fast...and I found myself taking her to Kindergarten this week, and not yet feeling ready to be away from her.
