This is my family's new favorite Fall snack mix. It's super yummy and easy to make.
Mix 2 cups of each: (or more, I just sort of dumped it all together & tossed!)
Caramel Popcorn (I used boxed Crunch & Munch)
Reese's Puffs cereal
Waffle Pretzels (I used Snyder's "Snaps")
Mini Nutter Butter cookie bites (they come in a bag)
Peanut M&M's
Toss together & Enjoy!
I don't know if you can really classify this as art, but you can call it a cute Halloween decoration! I made this with a black frame that I wasn't using, scrapbook paper, and a Jolee's Boutique (brand) jack-o-lantern sticker that I bought several years ago. It's very 3D b/c it's filled with stuffing. I made one for my mom as well~only it has a different mat and the pumpkin has a different face. So simple & makes me smile!
I hosted a baby shower for my best friend this weekend at my mom's house, as you've probably heard already. We've been preparing for it for weeks and it went great! I wanted to share the blocks & the sign I made that coordinated with the theme of blue & brown polka dots & paisleys. The blocks were given to her after the shower. They have the baby's initials on one side, ABC, 123, BOY on the other sides.
I also made a diaper wreath that served as both decoration at the shower as well as a gift~and my Mom, sister, and I all made the little favor boxes. I included a pic of an arrangement we made that we hung little baby bottles, carriages, pacifiers, & other ornaments from. It looked so cute in person!
We stuck the sign onto my mom's welcome sign that was already there & it stayed...
Since several people have asked me what paint & supplies I use, I thought I'd just do a quick post about it.
I use the brand Amsterdam (formerly called Van Gogh-some of the tubes still say that) of acrylic paint from Hobby Lobby. They come in a tube and are the less expensive kind that they carry. I also get my canvases from Hobby Lobby (they go on sale frequently) and the wooden frames come from Wal-Mart (as of now.) As far as brushes go~I HATE natural hair bristles. They leave yucky streaks in the paint (maybe I'm not using them correctly) but I would definitely recommend using synthetic nylon brushes. The paint goes on so much smoother.
Hope this helps!
I made this crown painting for Maggie's birthday gift. It's so nice to create girly stuff for a change!
This paisley frame is just for ME! I love this picture of Mason in it. It was pretty time-consuming, but worth it.
