Wooden ornament

Hi all!

Sharing these cute wooden ornaments with you today.

They can be found at Michael's, there's a link to a similar one below

HERE

I found the round "peace" disks at Walmart, they have them at the store

or you can order similar ones online here

HERE

I used the pipe cleaners that look like pine and made a little wreath.

Adhere the disk to the wood ornament first then add the wreath over top.

Finish it off by adding a bow to the bottom of the wreath

and there you have it! 

Fun to add to on top of a gift, bottle of wine or sparkling cider

or just gift it away...... 

Gift Tags

Sharing another great idea for a hostess gift or neighbor gift.

Make a bag of gift tags to give someone. 

Everyone can use gift tags, and if you really want to level

it up you can add a roll of wrapping paper to it.

I have given this gift every year and the receivers go on and

on about what a great gift idea it was.  

Did I mention how inexspensive it is?

You can also go to the Dollar Tree to buy your rolls of wrapping paper there, they carry Hallmark wrapping paper for just yes, $1.25

Use what you have on hand at home to make any type of

tags.  These happen to be this month's Paper Pumpkin kit

tags.  Super cute!

I ended up making 12 tags total and bagged them up

to gift away.  

I added the little header at the top with my left over paper. 

Hope this was helpful~ 

One more wedding

Thanks for coming and visiting me each day,

This was my last wedding I coordinated for the year.

This is Curtis and Lauren 11.12.22

Venue- Startup Event center

These are a few pics I got from the wedding.

Look at this adorable bride. 

Her gorgeous bouquet...

There were so many pampas grass arrangements I decorated

with at this wedding from the church down the aisle and up front

to the venue where I made a pampas grass wall. 

It was everywhere!

I am still laughing and finding little pieces on my clothes and in my car from transporting from church to venue!

The venue all set up and ready for dinner

The pampas wall I created behind the bridaltable 

Now to slow things down for the holidays,

weddings on hold till the first of the year.

Such a busy wedding season for me this year,

it will be nice to take a break and slow down to

enjoy the holidays. 

More events to come the next month, just no weddings

on the books. 

Thanksgiving favors

Thanksgiving prep is under way and these little adorable domes will be gracing my table.

Look at how cute these are!

I filled them with a few treats and started with

these items...

Pumpkin Jo Jo's from Trader Joe's, and some candy from See's.

Put your creative mind to use, you could put anything in these

little domes.  Think, cookies, macorons, any candies.

They were very simple to assemble and close,

I finished it off with some jute tied around them with a little

dried baby's breath. 

Now think Christmas and ALL the fun things that

you could do with these,  even mini charcuteries!

Oh the possiblities! 

You can find these on Amazon in many sizes and heights.

Friendsgiving

Happy Mama heart when my sweet youngest decides to host and cook her own Friendsgiving for 12. 

Sharing her tablescape ideas with you, she dried fresh oranges, grapefruit and blood oranges to decorate the tables.

She printed out the friendsgiving card and on the back it had 

each persons name on it, but not their own, someone else's.

They had to share what they were thankful for for that person

and their favorite memory about that person.  

I loved this! 

She chose such rich colors to decorate her table. 

I was so proud of her putting together the whole dinner, 

buying all the food and stuffing the turkey!

She was so funny being grossed out by unpackaging the raw 

turkey and preping it!

Look at all those smiles, 

full bellies and lots of laughs!

Wedding Coordinating

Sharing this friday one of the most recent weddings I coordinating

in Utah.

This venue is the enchanting Sleepy Ridge in Orem.  

This venue was beyond enchanting and the evening I arrived

it was cold and clear and I woke up to 3" of snow!

By saturday, the day of the wedding the snow had melted but was just as beautiful as ever! 

This is the inside of one of the two rooms they have to host

weddings, the Garden room.

The scale is very large and hard to tell looking at this photo. 

We started the ceremony at the mantle and then transitioned the room into the reception dinner. 

That's when all the magic happens!

and that has to happen in a quick short time!

I so appreciate all the vendors that I get to work with at these weddings, it takes a village, and this group was no exception!

So thankful for all the hands that went into transitioning this space so quickly. 

This was the sweetheart head table for the bridal party. 

The new happy couple 

And the I do's!

Wes & Kristin!

So thankful to be chosen to coordinate this wedding,

what a blessing to be able to bless them! 

Hostess gifts

Who's ready for some easy gift giving or hostess gift ideas?

I found both of these soaps at different stores.

The Holly Berry Garrison Home soap I found at HomeGoods (6.99)

and the Method Holly Berry soap at Ross ($2.99)

You can use any soaps you like I just happen to like these holiday ones. 

I also found this pack of three holiday towels which 

are sooooo cute (HomeGoods too, $7.99)

Simply take a towel and fold it over and wrap it around 

the soap and tie it off with ribbon.

Makes a great hostess gift, friend gift, teacher gift, etc. 

and very inexspensive yet nice!

The larger soap I wrapped the towel around the

top of the soap pump and tied it off. 

You can visit your favorite stores to find the soaps and towels

to make these gifts. 

Enjoy! 

Snuggetts

Happy monday!

Le's make some snuggets!

All you need are some chocolate hershey nuggets

a pair of gloves, I found mine at Dollar Tree

(two pair for a $1.25)

a piece of white cardstock cut at 3" x 1.

Grab some scotch tape to use to wrap the nuggets and secure

them with.  You can try and use an adhesive but I have found that

the tape holds together better. 

With the set of two gloves that I bought you can get quite a few

snuggets out of the two pair, the pinkie might not be long enough.

Take and cut the finger tip off to make your snowman hat. 

Before you put your hat on your snowman,

draw a face on him with a fine tip black marker,

any will do.  I used some pink chalk to give them some 

rosy cheeks.   I also punched out little hearts to glue to the hats.

Now add the hats and roll the brim up.

I didn't use glue or anything, I just pulled them over

the nugget.

That's it!  

These could be put on plates for a luncheon or bagged and gifted.

You could also add them to a piece of printed cardstock to

give to teachers or friends.

I saw these online somewhere and would give credit to the person who made them, but I couldn't find her.  

I hope you have fun making them!
