Craft with Corks

My husband and I have been saving up our wine corks for quite some time now. Not sure what for exactly...memories, craft project?? Well this just might be the project for all those corks!

Lovely Party Supply Source: Magpie Paperworks

Magpie Papeworks has such lovely party supply items! Sigh...drooling over all the pretty things!

Personalized Fabric

Loving this idea from Young House Love for creating your own personalized fabric! The service is from Spoonflower - and you can create swatches for as little as $5 and yards of your own personalized fabric from as low as $15!

The amazing bloggers over at Young House Love created a special fabric using their baby's name in celebration of her first birthday! Lovely idea! Must.file.away.now! :)

Mental Note: Mini Pencils for Parties

I am always forgetting the last minute party details and scrapping together some modge podge batch of pens and pencils - but these darling and pre-sharpened! little gold or white pencils (sold in sets of 10 for $3) from Twig and Thistle's Etsy shop are perfect for parties whether for game night or for shower games. Love it!

Pugs Not Drugs

My mother-in-law is an avid pug lover and so, of course, around the holidays I am in search of all things pug! :) Found this adorable "Pugs Not Drugs" tote from The All Mighty shop! Though this year we went in a less doggy direction with our gift but will have to keep this in mind for next year!

Luchadore Christmas Tree Topper

This would be our Christmas tree topper if it were entirely up to my husband. Thank goodness it isn't. :)

Pine Cone Heart Wreath

I sooo need to make one of these gorgeous pine cone wreaths! Maybe then I can have a slight excuse for my obsession with pine cone collecting. :)

Found on Le Souk

Yarn & Ornament Wreath

Lovely! Too bad I don't currently have the time or energy right now. A baby really does change everything.

Mitten Tree

We put up the Christmas tree and have holiday music playing and, of course, I'm doing a little online Christmas shopping! Came across this adorable mitten tree that I can see coming in handy in the years to come as our family grows and our wet mittens multiply.

Chalk Board Love

I wish my pantry looked more like this...though not sure where they are hiding their cereal boxes, stove top or cans of soup - maybe on the other side of that nook you can't really see into. Hmm? :)

Love the idea of decorating with chalk board paint right on the door. Would help us a lot with our grocery list making! My husband and I will always end up with two or three lists - one he has been working on and one I start working on. Most of the items are usually the same - though his do seem to lack wall plugs and laundry detergent and mine are a little less focused on pork chops and ground beef. :)

Loving this garage too! Maybe a more manly color would entice my hubby than this mossy green though - but love how it is all organized and gives a little work space to sit down at. One day, one day....our garage has been on the back-end of the project list here lately.

Organization Inspiration

Who doesn't need more inspiration to get organized? Love the muted green colors against the white - and how organized it all is of course!
