Friday Flair | Link Party

0 · · 21 Comments

Happy {almost} Friday!  It's that time again… time for Friday Flair. I usually use the top of Friday Flair to promote others, but today I am going to take a minute to ask a little favor for myself. 

If you haven't already heard… I am taking part in a fun Holiday Craft Challenge put on by IZZE {the sparkling juice company.} They sent a handful of bloggers a box full of craft supplies and challenged us to make a masterpiece with only the items they sent us.  It was such a BLAST!  Here is what I came up with…

The Sparkling IZZE Hanging Pendant Light

I would be forever indebted if you would take a few minutes to head over to Craft Gossip to vote for my project. It's a win-win kind of deal… just by voting you are entered to win a $50 Target gift card and a whole bunch of IZZE swag! Thank you all a bunch!!

Now it's Party Time!!!

A couple of weeks ago my Sweetheart was out of town and so I took my kiddos out for a fun dinner at one of our favorite places, The Elephant Bar at The District in Green Valley Ranch. The kiddos LOVE that place! I love it for two reasons… the sweet potato fries with the spicy ketchup and that Anthropologie is right across from the restaurant.  After dinner we headed over and I found the cutest snow globes in a jar! I just had to make some of my own…

They couldn't be easier to make!  Here is what you will need…

Snowflake Art | Tutorial

3 · · 2 Comments

Earlier this month I created a guest post for the lovely ladies from The Letter 4 while they were having a ball meeting Martha on the Martha Stewart show.  Just in case you missed it here is the Snowflake Art that I shared over there.

I am one of those displaced snow bunnies!  I grew up in Colorado skiing and loving everything that winter brought with it. For the past eight years I've been living in Las Vegas  and I can count the amount of times I've seen snow on one hand. So… When the girls invited me over I knew I wanted to create a project to add a little snow to my life!

I took my inspiration from a fabulous project that I found on Pinterest  from the Ballard Bunch. It was a simple snowflake made from craft sticks and it was stunning!!  I decided to take the humble craft stick and create a fun wall or door display using some chargers from the dollar store, some ribbon, paint and sprinkle of SNOW!
