Thanksgiving Family Photo Booth

November 21, 2011 · Comments { 7 }
Taking family photos when the whole gang is together over Thanksgiving is a must. I love the idea of creating your own photo booth with a solid drape background and handheld props. I’m smitten with these Pilgrim hats, Indian headdresses and turkey leg props by Silhouette Shop. This DIY collection is formatted to be printed on 8.5 x 11 heavy cardstock. Just print, cut, stick on a stick and have fun!

I just ordered mine this morning and already received the PDF from the Silhouette Shop. Love!
Blessing to you and your family.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Displaying Kids Artwork Collections

November 18, 2011 · Comments { 17 }
One common question I receive from clients is how to display children’s art collections in a stylish way. Displaying art doesn’t have to clutter the refrigerator or be complicated, but can be simple or as creative as the artwork itself.

In my own home {shown above}, I have simple white frames especially designed for kids artwork. Pieces can be easily switched out in minutes. I purchased these frames years ago at Pottery Barn Kids, but they carry a similar frame today.
Here are some more very style-savvy ways for displaying your child’s precious art:

{Unified white frames. Photo via Babble}
{Gallery wall with some framed, some not. Photo via Houzz}
{My fav – archival collage created from scanned artwork. By Jan Eleni}

We are hosting Thanksgiving this year and we’ll need a separate table for the kiddos. So, I’ve been on the look out for cute ideas that will keep them busy. I love this darling table setting I found on The Party Dress.

You’ve Been Boo’d – Happy Halloween!

October 28, 2011 · Comments { 2 }
Halloween_Boo'd_Template_Printout
Getting boo’d is a fun tradition in our neighborhood we look forward to. This year my kids were really into helping make the baskets for the families we were going to “boo.” Candies and other Halloween trinkets went in the baskets, but I thought my oldest had the best idea to wrap them in fake spider webs. Isn’t that so creative?

Once you’ve been “boo’d” you place the sign on your front door to let other neighbors know. Our boo sign somehow disappeared. My youngest said that the oldest threw it away hoping we would be boo’d again. {smile} So, we made our own boo sign {above}, but below is a darling you can download at {grey square designs} via Pinterest.
