harry potter shower

Woo hoo its a harry potter themed baby shower! I was honored when asked to help out with decorations for a coworkers baby shower. Keep in mind, I've never read the books and can barely stay awake during the movies (sorry mrs. rowling and, weird your initials are the same as my hubby and I, jkr). Huge props to pinterest for the ideas!!

It wouldn't be a baby shower without a diaper cake!

Interestingly enough I did most of the decoration "shopping" in my own home. Who knew I had so many potterish items? Everything else was either upcycled or purchased at a thrift store. I was super stoked when I found the flying broom at my favorite thrift store ($4 score!). And when the mr. was trimming the trees in the backyard I snatched them up before he could use them for kindling. Also big thanks to the friend who let me borrow the very popular owl.

I love when the mr. takes photos of my projects! I told him he makes my stuff look so nice and his sweet reply was they look nice to begin with. swoon.

Tutorials to come, plus many more valentines projects. I was just anxious to share!

holiday porch

Its continuing to be a busy month for us! The porch is a little light on creativeness but 1. its decorated and 2. for cheap! The only item I purchase was the poinsettia, everything else was owned or upcycled.

And yes, that is the same wreath I made for our wedding. I just removed the burlap bow and added a holiday themed one.

And the best part of this post today is my craft FAIL! I thought I could pull off a hybrid of these two pins.

You see those trees in the post above? Those are garland wrapped tomato cages! Yup this smart cookie thought why not just wrap tomato cages with lights, it should look like the wreath above right? Um no...

Ha! The mr. and I were cracking up at how ugly it was. Oh well, at least it didn't cost me a thing! merry Christmas everyone, the roundys
