Are you assembling your baskets and Easter goodies? I’ve made some free printable Easter tags for you to download, print, and attach to your gifts for that finishing touch.
For the longest time, I’ve been in love with these adorable bunnies that are made and sold by blogger Chez Beeper Bebe. Today I ran across a free tutorial and pattern that she offers on her blog so you can make your own, and I was so excited that I had to share!
Aren’t they adorable? I will definitely be making them from some old t-shirts for my little girl and soon-to-be boy for Easter. They’ll look perfect in their little baskets, and I like the idea of incorporating something homemade in every Easter basket. Last year, I made beanbag chicks from a Martha Stewart tutorial.
St. Patty’s Day will be here on Saturday, and there are lots of crafts and free printables floating around the web to celebrate.
For some reason, I don’t think this holiday is quite as celebrated in California as much as in other states; there aren’t many family-friendly gatherings or parades that typically happen. Perhaps it’s just the circle I am in, but I don’t usually decorate or do anything special for St. Patty’s. Although now that I think about it, it probably also has to do with the fact that my daughter is not yet school-age; I’m sure once she knows what it is and celebrates it at school, I will find more reason to decorate and more use for printable tags for her classmates.
Despite my apparent apathy for the holiday, these free printables are so cute that it’s really putting me in the mood! Perhaps I’ll put a couple decorations after all…
Yippee! I’m totally pumped for the Oscars this Sunday night. I generally inform my husband a couple of days prior that I am claiming the TV for a good 3-4 hours on Oscar Sunday, due to the necessity of watching and critiquing the red carpet as well as every acceptance speech. He claims to hate award shows, but if I can get him to start watching it, I know he’ll sit through the whole thing and secretly enjoy it (at least that’s what I tell myself).
And since I know he’ll secretly enjoy himself, I plan to force him to watch it with me on Sunday while also forcing him to play Oscar Bingo (wife of the year? I think so). I can call it “quality time” together, right?
Over at How About Orange, you can download 20 free Oscar Bingo cards for the big night, along with an Oscar ballet. Woot, woot! Head on over to print your freebies and rope somebody into watching it with you.
I just came across these fabulous vintage paper downloads from Oh, Hello Friend and thought I would share them. I can’t wait to use the graphing paper for scrapbooking backgrounds and stationery, and the labels would be adorable on packages. Head over to the Oh, Hello Friend blog to download them for free!
I’m pretty excited about Valentine’s Day. Maybe it’s because my two-year-old is old enough to sort of get it, and I can start some traditions with her. Or maybe it’s because I get excited that I am assured a night out with my husband… Hmm. In any event, what can be bad about a day that celebrates love?
Yesterday was an exciting day in our house; we had our 18-week ultrasound and found out what we were having. Yes, it’s a baby; I’m talking about whether it’s a boy or girl, people.
Ever since I joined Pinterest, my eyes have been opened to so many new ideas and all the latest trends. I started realizing just how fun being pregnant can be with creative photos and parties (and how lame I was the first time around compared to all these other creative people).
I meant to post this yesterday, but a last minute trip to the doctor put me behind all day long (it’s always something, isn’t it?).
Anywhoo, there are so many great printables and tutorials available right now that will help you make the gifts under your tree look gorgeous (and save you money in the meantime). I’ve been using them quite a bit myself this Christmas season. Here are some of my faves:
