Oh the Places We’ve Lived
I’ve been wanting to make this project for a while and I finally got around to doing it. With the help of my Cricut, it only took me one afternoon. I used my Cricut States cartridge and cut the shape of the states out contact paper. Then I stuck it down on the canvases and painted over it. Once the paint was dry, I peeled the contact paper off and painted a small red heart where the city that we live(d) in is located.
Provo/Orem, UT
Orlando, FL
Topeka, KS
Las Vegas, NV
Every time I look at my wall, it brings back fond memories of all the fun places we have lived since hubby and I have been married.

Gender Reveal Party
My friend is preggers with #3 and instead of having a traditional baby shower, I thought it would be fun to have a gender reveal party for her and her family. We BBQ’d, the kids played, and we enjoyed each other’s company without any cheesy shower games. I found a lot of fun ideas online and went with the “What will it bee?” theme instead of a pink and blue theme. I also didn’t want to make a pink or blue cake to reveal the gender and wanted a way for her two kids to be involved in the big reveal so I made a poster that, when the kids pulled on the string, unrolled to reveal that she is having a boy.
The dessert/treat table with cake, cupcakes, vanilla and chocolate oreos, and yellow and black candies
Beehive cake with marzipan bees
Everyone had to make their prediction before the big reveal.
The kids ready to pull their strings
Everyone was thrilled with the news. Congratulations Mary and David!

Paper Mache
I haven’t had much time to craft at all lately, but I came across this cute paper mache confetti bowl had to make one for myself. It was fast and easy to make and it’s now sitting cheerily on my coffee table. It’s not very sturdy, but it sure is fun to look at.
