Now that the furniture is all in and the essentials are purchased, I am finally getting to the fun part of decorating the nursery. We had decided on a woodland animals theme a while back…mostly because my husband and I enjoy being outdoors, but also because our little guy would be born in the fall. […]

Teacher Thank You Gift Pockets
A neighbor of mine is getting ready to send her kids back to school and asked me for some ideas for small teacher gifts that she could hand out. She has her hands full this time of year (and I could use the practice for back-to-school time anyway), so I offered to make a few […]
Woodland Thank You Cards
I recently returned from my surprise baby shower up north and was looking for a quick and easy way to thank everyone who attended…that was still handmade and thoughtful. The shower had a woodland animal theme, based on the decor of the nursery (more Silhouette decor projects to come soon!), so I wanted to incorporate […]

I always like to combine cute and functional, so I was looking for a way to keep kids entertained while still giving adults something pretty to look at. The chalkboard vinyl from Silhouette is perfect for doodling while […]
Personalized Split Shape Napkins
I’ve seen a lot of new split monogram designs floating around lately, so for today’s tutorial I wanted to show you how easy it is to make your own…well, these are split shapes, but you’d only need to trade out the shape for a letter of your choosing to make a split monogram. Of course, […]
Autumn Blessings Card
I haven’t posted a card in a while, so I thought I would stop by quickly today to share this simple one I made using some older stamps that I had in my stash. You can still find these on Amazon and eBay, but I’m pretty sure they fit the “retired” category I’m going for […]
