I can’t remember a single time in my life that my older brother wanted (or was willing) to dress like me, but I totally get it now. Dressing kids in matching clothes is the best, particularly if those clothes are Christmas jammies. Bear: Have you ever seen a more dapper tuft of hair on a…
Wrapping Week 2014: Magic wands
It seems like every year for Wrapping Week, I plan and buy supplies for four ideas and then end up making the last one pretty last minute, pieced together from the scraps and bits left behind by the first four presents of the week. Some years it works out better than others, but I think…
Wrapping Week 2014: It’s Sharpie time!
I love wrapping presents, and I can get almost as jazzed about the outside of a pretty package as a I can about what’s on the inside, but I know not everyone wants to spend a precious Saturday in December trying to construct the perfect paper bow or wrapping yarn just so. There are trees…
Wrapping Week 2014: Finger paint Frosty!
Holidays have always been a big deal in our house, but now that we have a 3-year-old who’s hitting her holiday-loving stride, it only feels fitting to kick things up a notch. This year for Halloween, we visited a pumpkin patch, where Beany picked out a teeny tiny pumpkin she named Spookley. After a decorative…
Wrapping Week 2014: Paper and yarn
I’ve talked before about my high school days as a Mod Podge-wielding miscreant. Just kidding, just kidding! I was super well behaved, but I did slap Mod Podge on just about anything that didn’t move. Anyway, my friends and I did tons of scrapbooking back then — like the hard copy, paper-and-sticker-embellishments kind — and…
Wrapping Week 2014: Vintage-inspired photo tags
I know I should probably save my favorite wrapping idea of the week for the end, but I love this one so much I had to share it first. Paper, pretty ribbon and a few photos. That’s all you need! So I call these tags “vintage inspired,” but honestly, they’re pretty much Taylor Swift inspired…
‘Tis the season — for Wrapping Week!
There are only 19 days left until Christmas! Wahoo! And do you know what that means? I have a pile of gifts in need of some love and wrapping paper. I bet you do, too! So in keeping with holiday tradition, Wrapping Week 2014 is coming soon! Starting Monday, I’ll have five days of fun wrapping…
Halloween kitty costume DIY!
XO, Katrina
Happy Christmas to all!
We’re full swing into holiday fun around here, but I thought I’d drop by to share an enthusiastic “Happy Christmas” along with our family’s Christmas card for this year. It might be my favorite to date. Needless to say, Beany and Ella were both pretty excited about the cookie situation (sugar will do that to…
Wrapping Week 2013: O Tannenbaum
Well, we started the week with Beany’s favorite wrapping project, and we’re ending the week with Jared’s, though I’m not sure whether it’s his favorite because he loves how it looks or because he had a hand in the process. I originally planned to break pencils into small pieces, glue those together to make the…
