Sweetest 16 Photobooth

My little sister Camille had her Sweetest 16th birthday party. Photobooths have been done, and done and done again, but do they ever get old? Not in my book! Especially with these adorable props found here!

Here are some of my favorites:

birthday girl

I was mostly behind the camera, but I did manage to make it in a few!

Happy weekend friends!

Road Trippin' it?

I like this car organizer for the little ones.

Squirrels, really?

Our last beach trip, squirrels came to our spot while we were playing in the ocean and ate a huge hole in my beach tote! I was pretty bummed since I have loved that bag. I'm on a search for another one that is as cute, reasonably priced and quite large at the same time. Do you have a favorite beach bag?

This is calling to me.

Chalkboard project

Love everything about this idea. I'm on it as soon as I feel up to tackling a project with morning sickness! I've never been able to keep herbs alive very long since I don't think my yard gets enough sunlight. I'm not going to give up though. I use too many fresh herbs in my meals!

MamaRoo

Mamas out there, thoughts on the MamaRoo?

Yum

My food blog of choice is the always scrumptious smitten kitchen.

It never disappoints.

Creme Brulee french toast?

Yes please!

Great clothes, even better prices!

Fashionista Rachel has a blog selling her adorable used pieces! This is a win win!

Stacey also sells used clothing pieces at her Love & Photographs.

This is a great way to shop and save some serious cash on some great fashion pieces!

Happy shopping!

Downton Abbey

I've only watched one episode so far and I already know that this is going to be a great series! Thanks to my Grandma and mom for giving me the first season on DVD. I might have cried too, but I am extra emotional these days!

I can't wait to continue, but here...I...am...blogging...?

Find a way to watch this A.S.A.P

We sure could use this in our house!

Makes me want some yummy tacos!

Tutorial request

Here it is friends!

A while back some friends and I started saving our old glass jars, bottles and vases to paint and make pretty on a cheap budget! I found the idea here.

I went to Home Depot and bought some quarter gallon colors, white, grey and light blue. It worked out well because we were able to mix the white with the grey and blue to make even more colors.

You have to make sure the the inside on the bottles are completely clean and dry. Otherwise, the paint starts to drip and crack over time.

We just used plastic cups (didn't have funnels) to pour paint into the bottles. We were able to squeeze the plastic cups into a small opening if the bottle had a skinny top. Then we just turned the bottles over and over until the paint coated the entire inside of the bottle. Make sure to drain the excess paint so that you don't have a puddle of paint leftover on the bottom that never really fully dries.

Also, buy these if you want to use them as vases with flowers.

Hope this helps, it was a super fun and easy craft. Enjoy!
