The Celebration Shoppe
Not all garland has to be store-bought, and as a matter of fact it’s likely more fun if it’s not! This week while we were whipping up a few placesetting and craft ideas, my six-year old son grew a little restless. Imagine that! So we set him up with this simple craft. And the best part, we just used leftover candy that we had …
I’m always so impressed with the talents of Sue and team at Sweet Tooth Cottage, our bakery partners, but when I saw our castle and crown designs from our Princess Castle and Prince & Princess collections I honestly was in awe. (All the cookies shown in this post, including the sugar paper sheets that you can purchase separately, will be in the shoppe early …
Today starts the countdown {surge of excitement… and two little boys… running through my house this morning}! And although my advent calendar is all set to go, I just couldn’t resist sharing a few of my favorite ones from some super crafty ladies. There’s still time! I’m just completely in LOVE with this first idea from The Painter …
The super talented sisters at the eighteen25 blog have whipped up a little Christmas bling that we can all have on our mantels this year. It doesn’t get an easier, prettier, or inexpensive than these beautiful glitter trees! The ladies give a list of all the items you need (from the dollar store) and a step-by-step tutorial with lots …
We’ve been busy over the past few weeks!

So last week while we were wrapping up our final Christmas collection photo shoot, I took a …

In addition to the custom invitations and thank you cards, and silver square dinner and dessert plates, this collection has several printable components as well.

With Christmas decorations about to come out, this weekend I decided to relax for a few hours and look through some old Christmas ideas. This little crepe-paper bell treasure was from the Martha Stewart Living December 2008 issue. I love how simple, yet completely beautiful this is, especially as shown on the candle. I could even see making larger (using layers of …
In mid-September I held my oldest son’s science birthday party (part I, part II, feature in Columbus Parent Magazine) and mentioned that I would share a few of the crafts: paper mache books for the book shelves on the dessert table, hand scanner for entry to our top secret lab and “Alex’s Lab This Way” …
It’s just the thing to knock the chill off of a cold wintry day and I’m totally smitten! This beautiful Christmas Icon Dinnerware Collection and classic porcelain hot chocolate pot from William Sonoma are simply perfect additions to my kitchen. I can just envision my kiddos sitting around the kitchen island sipping hot chocolate brimming over …
