This weekend is the weekend of a neighborhood ADULT SOCIAL party…as in all grown ups and no kiddos. YAY! The social committee asked if I would help with some of the decorations. Ummmmm, of course! I started with the front door wreath using my awesome supplies from Flora Craft and Make It Fun, along with giant playing cards. Check it out…it is my DIY playing card casino night wreath. It …
I love it so much that so many great companies work together to give back to schools through the Box Tops for Education programs! We keep a jar in our kitchen and when it fills up (which happens pretty quickly), we send them in to the school. Our school has raised TONS of money over the years through BTFE and I like to think that our little part helps. Here …
Thrifted Rainbow Book Decor Creating Thrifted Rainbow Book Decor is a super fun way to add a pop of bright cheery color to any room. The really fun thing about this whole idea is that while I created a rainbow, any color at all could be featured. The thrill of the hunt for great books to use is something I wasn’t really expecting. I mean to tell you, when I …
Being a creative person and sharing ideas with the world is awesome and I love it. However, there are some times when I just mentally and emotionally don’t have it in me. I am not willing to force content. I am not going to promote brands for money that have nothing to do with my lifestyle or my truth. I am only at my happiest when I am celebrating each …

Sometimes I just find products that I love so much that I simply must share. This is …
It’s that SWEET time of year and the teachers are busy getting ready. It’s true! They go in way before the kiddos to prepare their classrooms, complete staff development and ensure that everything is in place when their students arrive. Lollipics sent personalized custom treats to ten teachers to go back to school with Lollipics! It has been super fun to work with these teachers as they picked their designs …
This week is ‘Visit the Aquarium’ week at Camp Doll Diaries and as a contributor, this makes me super happy because I LOVE the aquarium. As I was creating the project post for tomorrow, I found myself realizing that this project is really very meaningful to me because it represents what matters most to me…creativity and relationships. My friend Char, the founder of Doll Diaries, is an amazing and supportive …

The Laura Kelly Designs new teacher checks and labels are great for personal and classroom use…as well as daycare, private schools and home schools!

Things have been raining Minions around here this whole week with Zoe’s birthday party being themed All Things Minions so it was the perfect time to tie together so many things I love.

We did it. We successfully sewed up a dozen Minion pillows for Zoe’s party guests. We used felt by the yard from Kunin Group and Poly-Fil Stuffing from Fairfield World and created this adorable creatures! The creating part was so much fun. We drew a pattern and cut pieces out. And more pieces… Zoe sewed on my new BabyLock machine. She did such a great job. The army began …
