Favorite Things Friday: Monograms!

In honor of New York bridal fashion week and a local Lilly Pulitzer Garden Party,
I'm going to reveal to you a long time favorite of mine: Monograms.
I feel like they are one of the most timeless and classy forms of expression, 
whether it's on an item of clothing or wedding decor. 


Lately, I can not get enough of them, which means I have been making backgrounds and notebooks for anyone who wants one. Now if only I could make stickers!

 

My favorite designs to use as backgrounds are Vera Bradley.
Any request, message me!

Favorite monogrammers?

He's my DIY-ing Honeybee

When the fiance gets a creative streak, let him run with it. 
While walking through Wal-Mart the other day, he decided that he wanted to make something. 
Be my guest, honey, be my guest. 
I can say that two times over, actually, since we found a wood burner for only $10. 
I'm gonna be a nerd here: Bazinga. 
So we got a block of wood, the wood burner, and he went to work.
The theme to the living room is rustic, so it was only fitting we do something to match.
It also helps that our song is such a country song: Honeybee, Blake Shelton. LOVE.
Before the wood stain!
P.S. Don't mind his "Dirty" hands, he's a welder. 

& After!

Thirty-One Choices... literally.

A friend of mine just recently became a Thirty-One Consultant and since she signed up, we've been thinking of so many organizing projects we could do to sort her new stuff. 
Yesterday, we legitimately walked around Wal-Mart for at least an hour and a half trying to figure out how we were going to display her swatches, note cards, and stationary.
We thought of binders and plastic page protectors with separate slots for each swatch, we thought of making a scrapbook out of them, and we even searched around in the container section to see what we could find there. Nothing seemed good enough. After going through countless ideas, countless aisles, and putting a TON of stuff where it definitely didn't belong, then, found a box. 
I know, a box doesn't sound like an Earth-shattering discovery, but, it definitely was. 
This, is where the organization just took off. 

I grabbed the box, some card stock, some tabs, and some double-stick tape.
Who knew that a huge bundle of swatches and other items could end up so pretty and organized!
The result:

How did we get to that?
 Grabbed the swatches, grabbed the card stock, scissors, and the paper cutter.
Cut the circular buttons out and trimmed the sides then cut the card stock in half.
This is what we ended up with after cutting out the circles:
A ring of baby swatches, or in my language, a future craft for her parties!

 We stuck the swatches with double sided tape to the card stock and put a tab on the tops based by collection: These are the Woodblock Floral and a bit of the Party Punch Collections.
We filed those in and put in these stickers and stationary,
& we ended up with this!

For the future, behind the swatches, wait the leftovers and some more items, 
ready for us to make party decorations!
CAN NOT WAIT!
