I love the sweet hair ties that you see in all the stores, they are so pretty! I knew that I could make my own version for much less. These will be gifts for my daughter’s team. You can make these as party favors, team gifts, your girls or yourself! I came across My Sunshine Shoppe and found exactly what I wanted! They have a
I’ve been busy making Strawberry jam and wanted to make some labels to go with them when I give them as gifts. I thought I’d share them with you too! I’ll have more for blueberry and raspberry season so be sure to check back! You can see how easy it is to use them. I happen to have a 3″ round punch which fits perfectly!

I ran into my friend Linda, Hi Linda! (She reads my blog, bless her heart). She told she got a jar filled with little slips for each day, 365 things I love about you. I thought, what a sweet idea.

Make your own DIY seashell art. It all started at Joann’s when I found a bag of seashells, since I’m desperate for the sun & sand I figured I’d try my hand at some seashell artwork. I had a few small canvases at home so I made these for just a couple dollars. These would make a thoughtful hostess gift for a summer party, or
I found these great little clear glass plates at Target for $1, perfect to personalize. I used my Cricut to cut out our initial. The only thing you have to remember is to reverse the letter so it will be the right way when you put it on the back of the plate. If you don’t plan on using the dishes (you’re just using them
