DIY Hair Bow & Head Band Display

Some of you might know I'm already ADDICTED to pinterest.com...it's like a virtual bulletin board where you "pin" things from the web you are interested in AKA "Pinterested" in. Like many people I used to save favorite websites to my "favorites" on my computer and then I would save hundreds of photos to my computer of ideas I liked. Well, now with pinterest you can store any website or photo and can access it anywhere...I just LOVE it. I have so many different bulletin boards already such as "Cooking, and Entertaining," "Fall Ideas, " "Christmas Ideas," and many more....one of my favorite categories is my "DIY crafts" (DIY = do it yourself).

This is a photo of a super cute hair bow and head band organizer I want to make (I "pinned" the tutorial on pinterest). The step by step instructions are courtesty of  http://www.theparopost.com/2011/10/diy-bow-holder.html. As soon as I get around to making one for myself I'll let you know how it goes....until then if you want to follow me on pinterest here's a link to my profile: http://pinterest.com/designsbyhollie/

UCLA Surprise for Daddy

As most of you already know Cord is a HUGE UCLA football fan! So the girls' and I decided to jump in and be a part of the excitement too. We went and painted a special plate for him to eat his football fingerfoods from on Football Saturdays!
This plate is not only for football....but also a reminder to Daddy that we are his cheerleaders in life as well!!
GOOOO UCLA!!!!

Ava's an Official Ballerina


My little Ava Shea has been leaping, twirling and dressing up like a ballerina since she could walk! Well, she's finally enrolled in a serious ballet class and LOVES it of course. She will have a recital in July 2012 so she has a lot of time to practice. Here's a picture of her on her 3rd day of class!! She is making progress so I will post much more of her ballet experiences here =)
Happy twirling!!

Rylinn's 8th Sweet Candy Shoppe Birthday!

(Insert pictures and invite here)

Rylinn's Sweet Candy Shoppe Party

Welcome to our Sweet Shoppe! For my daughter's 8th birthday we turned our house into a candy store. We made all of our own decorations and even some yummy candy buttons (See my post about how to makehome made colorful CandyButtons!). I love creating birthday party themes...and sometimes get a little carried away =) but we had a lot of fun and from the excitement of all the kids and the looks on their faces it was DEFINITELY worth it.
