Napkins

I made these napkins for my sister-in-law.  She had the brilliant idea to mix the sophistication of the napkins with the simplicity of the twine. The end result? Genius- a beautiful and personalized gift.

Sweet and Simple Have A Ball Birthday

My little man LOVES anything ball shaped. So it was a no brainer to do a simple & sweet Have a Ball Birthday. 

First, to make things fun I purchased a clearanced swimming pool & filled it with a 100 pack of balls. 

Since it was fall at the time, I just added the goody bags to the fall decor. 

In the goody bags: bouncy balls, polka dotted pencils, suckers, & anything else roundish. 

We attempted to make a ball birthday cake (not perfect but tasty). Then we used multiple colors & circles (balls) to make decorating easy. 

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Art

Here's a fun idea for all you Mommas out there...
Make Wall Art inspired by your child's favorite book. Caleb has always loved Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, so after reading it for the millionth time, the idea occurred to me to have him make his own picture of the Coconut Tree.
He was only 3 at the time so I drew the tree, but he placed every letter on the coconut tree (a great educational activity). To finish it off, we placed it in a cheap Ikea frame (my favorite thing to do when visiting Ikea is stock up on their frames because they're less than $2 apiece,  they fit standard paper size, and come in all different colors).

I showed Caleb this post and he said to also make sure to tell people to go read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and to "Eat More Chicken". :)

Blessings!!

Rock Garden

I was given the sweetest gift a couple of Christmases ago, it was a beautifully Decorated Rock from a very dear coworker. I have always treasured the gift and decided to copy the same idea and create a rock garden for our front flower bed. I would doodle on the rocks while watching my little ones, so no "extra" time was invested.

Words of Encouragement was my inspiration and on each rock I included Scripture after being inspired by Psalms 148:5~ 
"Let all things praise
    the name of the Lord,
    because they were created

    at His command."

Here is a sample of a few of them:

My Rocks aren't really works of art, but they do proclaim truth. Already they have become conversation starters with my oldest and visitors. 

Hope you are can take this idea and run with it. :)

Tips for Success:

-Use SMOOTH rocks

-Use permanent markers

-Spray rocks with water proof coating

-Place in shaded areas for colorfastness 

Blessings~
