Another Inspired Wreath

Have I ever mentioned how inspired I am by Jen at Tater Tots and Jello?  She makes the most amazingly adorable wreaths!  I copied her Burlap Wreath here.  Well a couple of weeks ago she made an adorable ribbon Halloween wreath here, you have to see it!

So I made my own cute little inspired Halloween wreath!

I followed the tutorial on Jen's page!  It was a little time consuming but it turned out really cute!  I used a foam wreath from the dollar store and wrapped it in muslin.  I found all of the ribbon at WalMart.

Not quite sure where I will put it yet, it will go hang out in the closet until it's closer to Halloween!  But it's another craft checked off my to do list!  Thanks for the inspiration Jen!!!

Bridal Shower Fun!

So I told you all about the bridal shower last weekend, sorry it has taken forever for me to post pics!  Unfortunately I don't have any pics of Audra and me together because I was busy chasing after my kids, but I did get a few pictures!

I actually fixed my hair!  Something I am to lazy never have time to do!

Audra's Mom was amazing, she bought most of the decorations (thank you Kate)!  And I was so excited when she let me make the favor boxes!

I think they turned out super cute!  I am 97% sure she got the diamond ring key chains from Oriental Trading.  I tied some ribbon around the keychains and hot glued the paper flowers onto the ribbon, so easy!

And this was my favorite part, the cake!  I love cake and I love to make cakes even more when they are this easy!  Slap some Oreo Straw sticks around the side and tie with ribbon and call it good, I didn't even have to make the icing look pretty!  I found the flowers from the Dollar Store, I was amazed that they sold such pretty flowers.  I bought the crystal beady thing at WalMart, it's cake garland and I cut it up and stuck them in!  I found the tutorial for the cake at Texas Monkey.  She has some really cute candy cakes too!

And I may not have gotten a picture with Audra, but 2 little girls did!

And yes I like to dress them alike, it's a sickness!  Audra I am so excited for you and can't wait for your wedding!

Clean Freak!

So I plan to get better at this blogging stuff, I have been really bad and by bad that means it's been a year since I posted anything....so I am going to try and post at least once a week if not more!  So I decided that I needed to organize/spring clean, repaint trim and doors, paint the walls and totally redecorate!  Luckily for me my husband is used to my OCD and just lets me go!  So here are some pictures of what I have done, I am really proud of these!  I should have taken before and after pictures but I was way too embarassed!  Here is my bathroom closet...

 

And here is the laundry room, my new favorite room in the house (I know that sounds sick but I can't help but smile every time I walk in!)  It's amazing what little plastic storage bins and a few spools of ribbon can do to cabinets you never use.  I used to use these cabinets all the time for storage but after we got our front load washer and dryer I could not reach them anymore without a step stool so they never got used (not to mention there is always piles of laundry folded on top so you couldn't open the doors!)

 Just had to share my OCD obsession with everyone, there is more to come!
