Baby Girl Room

After losing a baby girl at 31 weeks my dear friend is pregnant again with another baby girl! She just completed her room and I just have to share some of the pictures she posted. Alyse has so much talent which shows in everything she creates! 

Check out Alyse's blog for more pictures of the nursery as well as her other amazing creations!

Tween Boy Bedroom Makeover

My BFF's son was turning 12 and in need of a desperate room makeover! Our other uber talented friend Alyse was the design master behind the room, Kim and I just did the grunt work of shopping and painting, painting, and more painting! Kim wanted it to be a surprise so we did all the prep work at my house, then on his birthday as soon as he went to school got right to work.

When he left for school this is how it looked:

And when he returned from school:

 

Bedding- Target
Curtain Fabric- Hobby Lobby
Everything Else- Thrifted!

 I love how it turned out and even more important is Brennon loved it!

Baby Shower {Under Construction}

I had the pleasure of helping my sister-in-law throw a baby shower for one of our friends last week. Once the theme of {Baby Under Construction} was decided on we started scouring the internet for ideas to get us going. While I did throw in some ideas here and there and helped the day of, Shantay did most of the work and decorating! The mom-to-be loved the shower, and that's always the highlight of the party, seeing how happy she is with it.

*Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest, a nice camera is on my wish list ;)

For the food we decided to stay on the "construction" theme, and had sandwiches, chips, and bottled soda like a construction worker would have. 

Tools were place around the room as part of the decor. I think one of my favorite details were the blueprints under the food.

St. Patrick's Day Ideas

I did this post on AtoZebra Celebrations today, and thought I would share with my readers. 

Now that all the hearts, pink, and red are put away, it's time to bring out the shamrocks and a little bit of luck. I love creative women and I love them even more when they are generous and share their talents with others. Here are a few freebie printable round ups to get you going on St. Patrick's Day decor.

The Hands-On Housewife has some cute subway art full of St. Patrick's Day sayings. She also has a cute "Keep Calm" post, St. Patrick's Day style. 

How Does She? does it again with a darling free printable set, to get you going on a fun St. Patrick's Day party.

Therapeutic Crafting also has a printable that can be turned into a cute decor display, she found the original idea in vinyl on Tatertots and Jello.

I hope that gives you a few ideas to get your green ideas sparked!

Real Party {Vintage Birthday Party}

I am finally recovering from a bad flu bug, and am glad to be back to normal! My party feature today is from Kami Buchanan Custom Designs. Kami threw the most darling vintage birthday party for her daughter Emerson's 3rd birthday (LOVE her name by the way!). Take a peak into this over the top party.

The details of this party just blow be away, Kami didn't miss a beat! Be sure to check out her post of the party for many more pictures. 

Real Party: {Baby Gone Wild}

I am featuring a party tomorrow over at AtoZebra Celebrations that totally reminded me of my very first party I threw a couple years ago. One of my dear friends was pregnant with a boy and the theme I decided on was Zebra, blue, and green. I wish I had better pictures but these will have to do! 

I did all the food "mini" size. We had hamburger sliders, kettle cooked chips in mini paper cones, bite size cheesecake bites, and white chocolate mousse with oreos!
