Basketball Picture Frame

This year the hubs and I coached E's Upward Basketball team. It was filled with lots of surprises, and it was a lot of hard work, but all 5 boys seemed to have a great time playing.

We had the awards night this week, and I wanted to give them something special. I'm not a fan of trophies, and at this age, the trophies usually are broken to bits within the first few days of receiving them.

After our very last game, I got a candid shot of the boys. 

I decided that I would make picture frames for the boys as their gift.

I found all of the items at Hobby Lobby.

-Picture Frame

-Purple Spray Paint

-Wooden Basketball Cut-out

-Hot Glue Gun(had on hand)

I laid the frames(minus the glass and backing) on a cardboard box outside where there was plenty of ventilation.

 

I sprayed 3 coats of purple Krylon paint on the frames..waiting 10 minutes between each coat.

Once they were dry, I glued the little basketball guy to the corner of the frame making sure not to let it hang too low across the bottom. 

Now they will have something to look back on and smile about...it's not a faceless trophy, but a keepsake to help them remember the friendships that they developed in their very first basketball season.

Fairy Tea Party

We celebrated S.R's birthday over the weekend in fun fairy fashion.

All of the girls seemed to have a fabulous time with the fairy jewel hunt, the impromptu dance party and the goodies to snack on.

Everything came together like it always does...at the last minute when I feel as if I will collapse at any second:o)

 

The invitations.

pardon the white-outs...we all like just a tad bit of privacy:o) 

I usually email invitations, but this time I decided to print the invitations and mail them. 

I thought the fairy digital clip art was adorable.

All of the girls were to come dressed in their "fairy best". S.R. wanted me to make her a Queen Clarion costume. I used the Charlotte Apron dress as my base and built on top of that. It was a pretty quick sew, even with all of the extra details. 

And yes, that is snow falling in the background...it very rarely snows here, so we had to grab a quick shot outside. S.R. was a trooper, though, because she was freezing:o)

We kept the food simple for this party. Homemade vanilla cupcakes, homemade chocolate doughnuts, meringue cookies from Publix and Strawberry Lemonade.

The little fairy cupcake toppers came from Marshall's...a clearance score.

  The girls used these bags to gather their fairy treasure.

I'll share a tutorial on that soon.

Nothing says spring time and fairies like fresh flowers...especially tulips!

I'm so glad I caught this shot. Apparently "Happy Birthday" is one of the funniest songs ever:o)

This was the party favor table.

When it was time for the girls to leave, they took home one of these yogurt cups filled with bubble gum and a star lollipop. That idea came from the House of Smith's. That party was beautiful, and it definitely inspired several of the choices for this party!!

I also made this little outfit for her to wear under her fairy costume. You can find the tutorial on how to make the hopscotch skirt here.

We had a wonderful time celebrating turning 5! Thanks for stopping by today!

S.R. is 5 today

Today is a special sort of day. It's the day we welcomed the sweetest little girl you'll ever meet into our hearts.

Today, she is 5. 

It's hard to believe that 5 years ago she looked like this...and please tell me, how did the time fly by so quickly?

I can't believe how much she has changed in just a few short years. 

Here she is at 1... 

 at 2....

 at 3...

 at 4...

 and now at 5.

This child always has a smile on her face and a song on her heart.

 I love that every where her little feet take her, they're skipping all the way, with that wild mess of curls swishing back and forth. 

She has a wit that takes everyone by surprise, and makes us all laugh.

She lights up a room where ever she goes, and has the kindest, sweetest soul.

But along with that sweetness comes a lot of spunk. I love her just the way she is!

I'm so glad that God chose her to complete our little family.

Happy Birthday my sweet angel!

5 Year Old Birthday Outfit

My sweet S.R. is turning 5 in just a few days.

She asked for a special dress for her fairy tea party (a Queen Clarion dress to be exact).

The dress has been made, and she squealed when she saw it...the reaction every mother wants when she's worked so hard to make her little girl happy:o)

When I was searching for the fabric for the fairy dress, I came across some fairy knit fabric in purples and pinks. S.R.'s two favorite colors. I was slightly hesitant about purchasing it because my last experience with knits was quite disastrous. 

 I will have to say, this little skirt was much easier than I expected:o)

The hopscotch skirt is now my new favorite skirt to make...I think I'll be making one for myself now:o) I followed a super easy tutorial, and you can find it over at iCandy handmade.

I can't wait for the celebration:o) It's going to be so much fun!! I just hope that the snow they are calling for will hold off until after our guests return home safely:o) 

Have a great weekend, and I will see you back here next week with the details of the fairy tea party:o)

Front Entry Way

We have lived in our house for 3 years now, and this wall has always bothered me. When you enter our house, this is the wall you see.

There is a doorway to the right and a column just a few feet to the left.

Very un-welcoming. 

For the past year I have had a picture of the kids hanging there and that was it. 

I wanted a table and a lamp and just stuff to sit there, but there wasn't enough room with the column in the way.

After 3 years of brainstorming, I finally came up with a solution. Took me long enough, didn't it?

I have some cabinets in the attic that are really narrow. I picked them up at a yard sale for $5. They are real cherry, and beautiful, but absolutely non-functional. I think they were spice cabinets in their former existence??

I took one of the doors and turned it into a wall shelf that resembles a table. The door is super narrow, so it's the perfect depth and adds so much to this space. The legs, hardware and spray paint were purchases from Lowes, and the frames and sign were purchased from Hobby Lobby.

There isn't an outlet on this wall, so I can't plug a lamp in...I'll show you my solution for this problem in my next post:o)

Now I reeeeeally like my entry way. 

It's a lot more inviting, don't you think?:o)

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day to you all! 

I hope to be back here soon. I've been taking a creative break for a bit. Have you missed me?;o)

I hope your day is extra special today!

Looking forward to our little family Valentines dinner after basketball practice tonight:o)

I'm really excited about digging into this yummy cake...with REAL buttuh cream icing...that's right, I said BUTTUH:o)
