Jennifer, the GREAT

Hi Everyone- It’s Madeline here… being a bit sneaky. I wanted to hop on here and conjure up some serious love for our girl, Jennifer.

We all KNOW how amazing this woman is, but sometimes I really love to remind her… we all like to be reminded, don’t we?  Feel free to share a Jennifer moment or story in a comment below. After all, it is YOUR words and messages that fuel Jen every single day. She gets so fired up by your kindness, your inspiration, your projects and your friendship. This will send her over the moon 🙂

WE LOVE YOU JEN! xoxoxox

 

Decoupage Suitcase Tutorial with Jennifer!

You’ve all been waiting so patiently– and here you go! Have SO much fun creating one of my absolute faves.. the decoupage suitcase!

As if covering a suitcase wasn’t enough, I also decoupaged an IKEA Parsons table… ok, ok I couldn’t stop– it’s that much fun!!! Talk about inexpensive materials that yield totally beautiful results. Have fun and let us know what you think!

Happy Crafting!

Pom Pom Party Pouf & Garland Tutorial!

It’s time to craft!!! Join Jennifer as she walks you through the Pom Pom Party Pouf & Garland tutorial from Happy Home.

It’s a GREAT project for the Summer — think of all those special moments you can decorate… from BBQ’s, birthday parties and beach parties to weddings, kiddo parties, and well, even a special room in your home!

These are fabulous projects to do with kids, as there are kid-friendly options. The Plastic poms you will see come wrapped up in a twisty tie. It’s a safe alternative to the hot glue gun, and still achieves the same, beautiful result.

As always, we like to remind folks that the glue gun should ONLY be used with parental supervision. It can get very hot and can be dangerous.

Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Materials:

Did someone say Zebra?!….

Adore is a great word that comes to mind when we look at this beautiful woman in a classic chunky zebra (Lauralee) from Super fly.

The zebra will live on forever, in its playful simplicity. We LOVE how this darling sewer of blog, Goodbye Valentine used Lauralee in brown to create such a classic dress. Clearly, with some shades, a sun hat, and turquoise chunky jewelry the look is complete. BEAUTIFUL!
