Christ sign made with wood pallets

I made this beautiful Christ sign at Super Saturday at church with my girlfriends Melissa and Rachael. It reads: Christ is the center of our home, a guest at every meal, a silent listener to every conversation. I thought it would be a good idea to start Christmas time and decorating my new cute house with this sign. It is made of re purposed wood pallets, vinyl white words and grey flat paint. I don't know the name of the paint because I forgot it at church that day but it just matches my light grey walls and it is not a glossy paint or latex. It's an flat Acrylic from Hobby Lobby.  I didn't paint the back but even against the mirror you don't notice. Only in the pic. LOL
I started my Christmas tree. I have a super beautiful nativity scene but it's still in boxes somewhere in the garage. I am still unpacking. 
How do you bring Christ into your Christmas season?

White roses crown DIY

I finally took some pics of my kids for this summer. I used the Iceberg roses that grow in my front yard to make the crowns and they wore white shirts or dress. This is very easy to do and very inexpensive. You can also make them with any other flowers for a different color palette and feel. Great little craft. I spent around $3 for this. The girls loved helping me and wearing them.

White roses crown DIY

You will need:

Flowers with stems
Florist tape
Florist wire

Place the wire around the person's head to see how big it should be and tie 2 wires together making a crown.
Cover the ends of wires with florist tape
 Place your flowers one stem at a time and wrap the florist tape around them securing them to the crown. The florist tape only sticks to itself.
Go around the whole crown or just the front and sides. Keep the leafs on the stems they make the crown look fuller. Great for a photo shoot or party or to go with a gorgeous dress. Make a flower crown and enjoy the flowers before  winter takes them away.

Cupcake paper toppers: the American flag

 I may be a cupcake addict, but really they are so cute and the small portion is very appealing to me. Just a small bite won't add 1 pound to my body. This is one of my favorite for the 4th of July.
I have been thinking of cute ways to embellish cupcakes, from the store or homemade it will give your little cakes this little special touch that people will remember.
All you need is decorated cupcakes with sprinkles and American flags picks. I find the picks at Zurchers.

Vintage dress Tea dyed tutorial: Sunday's best dressed

I got this dress from Shabby Apple and the colors in the dress were way too bright for me. I tea dyed the dress and I love the result. It is subtle but sometimes it's all it takes. I love this dress. So Vintage and happy! 

Tea dying clothing:
You will need:
1 gallon of water 
20 bags of green tea (I don't drink green tea so I borrowed some from someone who does)

Boil the water in a big pot. turn off the heat and place your 20 bags in the water. Let sit for 20 minutes or until you think it is dark enough.
Place your clothing item in the pot. Push the item around with your hand or a big spoon to get all the air bubbles out.
You will need something heavy to keep the item under water. I used a smaller pot lid upside down. Let sit for 8 hours or more.
When you want to get it out. Squeeze the excess water and wash in your washer on cold setting.
If you want your clothing to be darker. Repeat the process. 


Aeropostale mismatch earrings 

Bandolino shoes

Urban Decay eyeliner in smog / Ulta Cheek in Flush on checks and eyelids / Tarte Gifted Amazonian clay smart mascara in black / Lipliner Cover girl lipperfection in 225 beloved bien-aimee / Ulta 226 Perfect nude lipstick / lipfusion Lip plump in Blush

This photo shoot would have not been possible without my little helpers all dressed up for Sunday too.
