Create the things you wish existed
Ever since we were little girls, my best friend and I have planned each others’ future weddings, showers, birthdays and everything in between. When you’ve known someone for 20+ years, you tend to know all the ins and outs of their likes, favorites, etc. Read More
Y’all, this has been a long time coming! You may have noticed something a little different about the blog today. I decided it was time for a little makeover complete with a new design + logo.
I personally believe that one can never have too many pumpkins to celebrate the Fall season! I happen to love them all: big, small, orange, white, round, and lumpy – they’re all perfect. From hitting up local pumpkin patches to grocery stores, I’m always on the lookout.
Valentine’s Day is probably one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. It comes right after my birthday so I always feel like it’s another excuse to treat myself. The holiday also has all of my favorite things: hearts, pink, red, more hearts, friendship, oh and love (duh). I wanted to share some quick DIY craft ideas in case you’re in a rush to send out gifts to your favorite people.
This year I celebrated my 24th birthday with a crafty party complete with sweet friends, good food + DIY projects. I love planning parties that allow for great conversation and take-home favors.
I absolutely love entertaining friends – I try to celebrate any occasion that I can. No party is complete without delicious food, rum punch, music and good conversation.
I found the cutest decorations on sale at Jo-Ann’s that went perfectly with my flower arrangement. My Gammy always sends the best birthday flowers – complete with my favorite ones: snapdragons and roses.
Some of the crafts included painting canvases, flower pots with seeds and a homemade body scrub. Many of the canvases and flower pots my friends painted were absolutely stunning!
This year I decided to bake the cupcakes from scratch using this recipe. It was the first time that I have made a cupcake recipe that wasn’t from the box. They were absolutely delicious! The only bump in the road was the homemade icing that went along with it. I have never made homemade icing so it came out a little thin, but still sweet.
Any excuse to party is a good one in my book! This year’s birthday did not disappoint – I felt so loved bringing in year twenty four.
