I don’t know why, but I love a good holiday countdown. We already have our really fun Build-a-Scene countdown calendar, but I couldn’t resist making another Halloween chalkboard countdown. It’s a great Cricut Halloween decoration to make. All you need is a board, some stain or paint, and some vinyl. (This post may contain affiliate […]
Free Printable Western Photo Booth Props
Recently I helped throw an old west party for a friend who graduated from the US Marshal academy. The funnest part for me was gathering and creating items for the photo booth. I created some free printable western photo booth props that you can use for your party. Read about the rest of the party […]
Gift Card Bouquet Tutorial
I decided last minute to put together a teacher appreciation gift for Leah’s teacher. Parents donated money so I could purchase a bunch of gift cards to make a gift card bouquet. It turned out really cute, so I made a free printable template to cut with scissors and a cut file for your electronic […]
Mermaid Crown and Pirate Hat Printables (with Silhouette Cut Files)
I wanted some kind of hats for the kids to wear at the mermaid party, so I designed some paper mermaid crowns and pirate hats for them. I have provided a PDF pattern and a Silhouette cut file for you to use. To access these downloads, and all of the other ones for the party, […]
DIY Custom Christmas Tree Farm Sign
I love the Christmas decor trend with old trucks carrying Christmas trees. I saw some Christmas tree farm signs at the store, and thought it would be really fun to make a custom one for our family. This one has our last name and the year we got married for the “established” date. My kids […]

Thanksgiving is just a couple weeks away, which means it’s finally time to start Christmas crafting! Yay! It’s my favorite! I wanted to make a new DIY Christmas decoration for my mantle, so I came up with this cute wooden star. It’s really easy to make, and I think it turned out really nice. AND […]
Art Party Smocks
Leah just had her 4th birthday, and she requested an art party. I love to make handmade party favors for the kids, so I decided to make some art smocks to protect their clothing. What would an art party be without painting, after all? I wanted something that would protect the kids’ clothing completely, even […]
Pokemon Birthday Party Invitations (with free Silhouette cut file)
My kids have been obsessed with Pokemon lately (it’s always something), and Evan decided that he wanted a Pokemon birthday party. This year was especially exciting because Evan got to have his very first friend party! Normally, I just go the lazy route and send a Facebook invite, but inviting his friends from school and […]
DIY Burp Cloths with Appliques
I love to use cloth diapers as burp cloths for my babies. They are so absorbent, and a lot cheaper than buying regular burp cloths at the store! I wanted to dress mine up a little, so I added some woodland animal appliques to match the muslin swaddling blankets that I made. I used my […]
Quality Time Jar
Just a few weeks ago, I signed Audrey up for Kindergarten. You would think that with her being my second, the thought of this would be easier for me. It isn’t. It’s still really hard, but in a different way. Evan, being the oldest, got my undivided attention for the first two years of his […]
Felt Star Wands
My little Leah is turning two next week! TWO! I can’t believe it’s been two years already! She’s already started to show it though… that magical two-year-old transformation, where they go from being your sweet, agreeable toddler to a tantrum-throwing, picky-eating, terrible two-year-old. 🙁 On the plus side, she’s never been more fun! We’ve discovered […]
