It's a Bitter Sweet Ending


For those that don't know, which I'm sure there are few, the last installment of the Harry Potter movie series came out this past Friday.  Although the movie was great I'm slightly depressed now that it's really over.

Radish Earrings



Since this was the last movie we of course had to go to the midnight showing, we of course had to make shirts, and we OF COURSE had to have Butterbeer Cupcakes!!! Oh and you can't forget the Radish and Snitch earrings!

I hope everyone that saw the movie enjoyed it as much as we did!!!

Happy 4th of July

I'm just a tad bit late getting these up but I wanted to share some 4th of July crafts that I did this year.

The first are these super cute metal stars I found on Pick Your Plum, this amazing craft site.  I started by painting blocks of wood red, white and blue (of course) and then nailed the stars to the wood, super easy! I would have preferred the wood border around the stars so I might remove the nails next year and try something new, I could redo these decorations every year if I want to.





My next project is probably one of my favorites! I am obsessed with decorating everything with vinyl (more to come on that), ever since I've gotten my Silhouette the possibilities on what I can make have become endless. I think I might have to make one of these for every holiday, they look great in my front entry way.
