Valentines Day Card for All Your Girl Friends

Valentines day is just around the corner and I love all the red and pink and lacy goodness! Reed isn't really someone that appreciates the red, pink and lacy things so sometimes I need to come up with some creative ways to celebrate the holiday :)  

Pinterest is filled with super cute ideas for classmates, teachers, and children but I don't have any of those... I searched Pinterest for some to send to girl friends of mine but I didn't really see any that felt like they fit. So of course I decided to fix that! 

One thing that all girls love is pretty panties. So why not celebrate the holiday full of lacy red, pink and black goodies with just that! I created a quick printable comparing friends to pretty panties, grabbed a fabulous selection of pretty panties from TJ Maxx and just as pretty mailers from the Dollar Store.

I can't wait to get these sent out to my girls, I know I would be extremely excited to get some pretty panties along with a little witty card. 

My little printable was inspired by a fun quote I found on Pinterest comparing friends to underwear. I loved how witty it was and wanted to keep the humor but make it fit the "pretty" theme of Valentines day a little better. So changing around some wording and adding some pretty dainty details gave this printable that perfect Valentines day flare. 

If you are as smitten with this little card as I am you can download the printable HERE. 

(Sorry for the language, I messed around with some other wording but just couldn't get pasted the giggles this one generated!)

 

I just love to be cheesy, I think thats my favorite part of Valentines Day. It's ok to be goofy, and cheesy and sappy on a day celebrating love! So, what is your favorite part of Valentines Day? 

Princess Peach Halloween Costume with whats in your Closet

Halloween is here! It's kinda snuck up with all this crazy warm weather, so for those of you who let the costume planning skip by you here is something I whipped up with just what I had in my closet and craft drawers! I'm sure most of you have plenty of costumes just waiting to be discovered in your closet too :) 

With this being my second costume post for the season, and it doesn't even include my real costume, I'm sure you've realized I just like to dress up :) (Here's my first costume, Piñata & Birthday Girl)  It's a family thing I think and this blog just gave me the perfect excuse to come up with fun ideas this year.

For this Princess Peach costume I seriously just dug through my closet and craft supplies. I picked the costume because I knew I had a pink skirt and top and figured going from there was easy. And it was!

Like I said up there I started with finding my base pieces, a pink tank top and a pink skirt. I then dug up some old white dress socks, a roll of tulle, a headband, card stock, paint, and the Dollar Store skirt I bought for Tepes costume earlier this year.

I couldn't follow the dress exactly but I'm pretty sure that adding tulle for sleeves gave the illusion of puffy princess sleeves. Adding the small skirt over my original skirt gave me the layering affect. And finally painting that bejeweled crown looks just as good as hers!

This costume was so fun, so easy, and so cheap! I mean come on, free costume? Why wouldn't you play dress up :) Plus I needed a reason to make a photo booth...

You can check out my super cheap and easy Dollar Store Halloween Photo Booth from last week for a super easy and fun activity for your halloween party!

With Halloween so close I hope y'all have made your plans! I'm excited to hear what y'all are dressing up as :)
