Paper Bunny Hat
I shared this Paper Bunny Hat with Core'dinations a month ago and so I thought I would share it with you too! Today, we are going to make bunny hats! Get excited! They are super simple! When I was a first grade teacher, my students LOVED making hats for any occasion. So, now that I have my own kids I had to make the hats with them, especially now that my daughter is BIG into dress-up clothes. Paper Bunny Hat I know they have those $1 bunny ears out there made of fabric, but these are really fun to make to help keep your kids busy on those freezing snow days we've had! My daughter had a blast making these and especially wearing them! Now, I know you may be thinking, "She's two. How did she make those?" Well, she was mostly the assistant. In my humble opinion, I believe that getting kids helping at a young age helps them feel confident with Arts and Crafts. How to make Paper Bunny Hats and Noses: Materials: 4 pieces of 8 1/2 x11 White Core 110lbs 1 piece of 8 1/2x11 Solid-Dyed Core -World Tour pack (pink from the pack) Swiss Dots Embossing Folder or any dotted embossing folder Cuttlebug or your choice of embossing machine Ear Template- hand draw Inside Ear and nose Template - hand draw Xyron Double sided tape Steps: 1. Draw a bunny ear on the 8 1/2 x 11 piece of White Core. Cut out and use as your template for the White Core. This does not have to be perfect, it's just for fun!

Grand Opening at Flourish Boutique
Sponsored Post- Opinions are 100% mine Here at Every Day is an Occasion I like to share ways to have fun every single day. Flourish Boutique made it easy for me yesterday by having their Grand Opening in their new brick and mortar location. They just moved out of an older farm house that they had transformed into a GORGEOUS boutique (which they were in for about 5 years)! So, when I found out that they were moving I questioned what the new store would look like. How can you get any better than pink painted wooden floors and sparkly pink parking lines?! I mean really! lol! But the owner, Vanessa, did it! The new store is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!! To be honest, I never had any doubts, she is quite an amazing designer and business owner. One to look up to for sure!! So are you ready to get a peek? If you follow me on Instagram you may recognize a few of these photos. Grand Opening at Flourish Boutique See I told you! Simply GORGEOUS!! This is the sight you see when you walk in! This photo was actually taken before the official grand opening, but I wanted to show you how beautiful the entrance is when you walk in. On the night of the Grand Opening, Flourish invited Miss Indiana to come and greet guests. Let me tell you, she is one AMAZING woman! I simply adore her!OH and those flowers I'm holding are for Vanessa, the store owner. I brought them for her to congratulate her on the new store. Look very closely at them though...do you see it? Yes, it's a shoe vase! The flowers are in a pink shoe vase! I couldn't stand it, I had to get them for her. Ok, back to the story... As I was talking to Miss Indiana, one of the employees at Flourish came up and asked me if I would be interested in modeling for their fashion show, one of their models dropped out last minute and they needed a fill in. So, feeling very honored I accepted. Then all of a sudden I got a rush of, "What? Did that just happen? I've never been in a fashion show before, how am I going to do this? How do I … [Read More...]

Yipee for Spring!! I am a BIG Spring fan!! I love how the snow melts and then you can start to see new life peeking through. Spring flowers are some of my faves! Let's be honest, I love any flower! I come from a big flower fan family! lol, that was a tongue twister! So when Proflowers contacted me, I was excited to share with you some of the floral trends they are seeing. Floral Trends with ProFlowers How beautiful is this inspiration board? I'm dying over the peonies and those tulips too! Oh my stars they are just so gorgeous!! I was pretty excited because I am on trend with this one! Remember my vinyl house numbers on a flower pot? This is a single serving bouquet because they are all hydrangeas. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers if not THE FAVORITE. I like to keep hydrangeas a single serving because I don't think they need anything else with them. They are so beautiful as is! What do you think? Do you have a certain flower that you keep all a single serving or do you like a mixed bouquet? For all the details on the vinyl numbers you can check out this post. … [Read More...]

Thanks for linking up all of your beautiful projects to Sunday Funday for the month of March!! I love looking at each and every single one of them! Today I have a super cute project by Arin from A Piece of Life's Pie. DIY Log Coasters I saw these coasters and got so excited because I have seen plain wooden planks in craft stores and have had them in the back of my mind because I didn't really know what to do with them. Then Arin linked this DARLING project up! These are actual logs from her backyard! How cool right? I love using nature and things around us to create. I have gotten into a bad habit with buying new product and not using what is around me. I also love how she made these logs so bright and cheery with the cute linen fabric!! The mason jars are so cute too! Thanks to Arin for reminding us to embrace what we have and use it! My one little word for 2014 is Embrace and I needed that reminder! You can get all the details on Arin's DIY log coasters on her blog. … [Read More...]
