DIY: How to make Stamped Onesies--A great Baby gift!!

When I ran across these a few weeks ago, I couldn't help but think--GENIUS!!  They are super cute, aforadable, and you can make them in any shape or color.  Your baby can have handmade clothes that are super cute and easy!  It doesn't get better than that! 

How about having the supplies on hand and making it  baby shower activity?  Let each of the guests create their own unique onesie for the mom to be.

I'm always looking for fun and unique gift ideas and I think these are perfect!!  Just a warning though, if you show up with a couple of these at the next shower, be prepared to be invited to many more!!! ;)

 

 

 

 

Here is the tutorial and information on the few supplies you will need if you want to make some! :)

Have a great day!

Host a Backyard Party--Summer Party Idea: Turquoise and Lemon Drop

I am feeling inspired.  It's been a while since I threw a little shindig and I'm kind of getting the hankering for one now...especially after seeing this over at Amorology Weddings.  I secretly want to be a wedding/party planner when I grow up. ;)  I LOVE looking at wedding blogs for inspiration.  So many of the ideas can be transformed to everyday use-- it's great!  Check out the photos from this turquoise and lemon drop inspired wedding and tell me you aren't in the mood to host a little garden party...

The color pallette was AMAZING!!!!

  

 

Love, love love the idea of the lemon drops holding up the place cards...SO cute!!!

 

 

Remember when I found these yummy vintage blue glasses at HG a few months ago???  Well, I'm thinking those combined with the millions of lemons from my parents backyard and we've got a party!!

  

Thanks for the inspiration Heather!  If you're looking for some more great paty ideas check out Amorology Weddings.

Have a great day!
