I love this mantra.  I think we could all work a little harder and be a little nicer.  Here is a friendly reminder.

DIY Pinata Card

Giving gift cards can be so boring.  But it's the one gift that everyone likes! So, here is a really fun way to give someone a gift card.  

Here are all of the supplies you'll need to make this really fun pinata card! (except I forgot the sequins!)

Step 1:  Take one piece of card stock, fold in half and cut out the middle.

Step 2:  Line up all of the pieces of tissue paper and cut fringe into one side.

Step 3: Using a glue stick, glue on the sides only and attach the fringe.

Step 4: Make a little pouch for the sequins and glue along the top of the tissue paper.

Step 5: Place glue along the top and sides of the card stock frame and fold over the tissue paper.

Step 5:  Use a hot glue gun and glue the frame with the fringe to the card stock.  Don't forget to include your message and gift card.  Also at this time glue the last side of the tissue paper to the card stock with the glue gun.

Step 6:  Watch in delight, as your friend opens their gift!  I think this could really be good for any occasion.  Make it a shower gift with gold and silver tissue paper.

Birthday Week Day 5

Birthday Week Day 3

I've always been mildly interested in gardening, but more lazy than interested.  Weeding in the summer heat always seemed like punishment when I was a kid.  So when I got married I tried for 2 years to keep plants alive and was very unsuccessful. This has been my first year of real gardening.

This summer we took charge of the yard.  My husband made two raised beds for a vegetable garden!  If you follow me on instagram, you've seen a lot of pictures of squash, zucchini and green beans.  After 3 years, I finally grew something!  Not to mention that my hydrangeas are still alive; which I count as a great accomplishment compared to last year.

All that to say, after growing green beans I get how "Jack and the Bean Stalk" became a fairy tale.  (The bean seedlings doubled in size every 12 hours!)  Who doesn't love a little whimsy while celebrating their birthday?

I'm continuing this week of Mother's Day themed cards and prints.  

Here I have an original painting with a mother inspired sentiment.

Sweets

I think the best kind of Mother's Day cards are ones that mean something between the two of you.  I used to say the above quote to my mom every day.  My graduation party was even themed 'have the sweetest sweetest life you ever ever had.'
