pegboard table runner

I love this clever runner idea seen on Style Me Pretty using a metal or wood pegboard.  Isn't it beautiful?  It's like a field of flowers down the center of your table! 

Seen on The Home Depot blog and Style Me Pretty

Hello there, how are you?  I'm just popping in to say hi and throw out this great idea (and on sale too!) for a groomsmen gift.  Have you heard of the Portland General Store?  Their men's products are earthy, yummy and manly smelling, and don't get me started on the packaging!  This set is almost half off at Urban Outfitters right now, so nab up a few for the groom's group, or even for Christmas gifts!  Click here to get to the sale.

*Just a quick note, read the reviews...sounds like the box is slightly different then pictured

lace stenciled monogram

My best friend Shannon was married this weekend and it was one of the prettiest weddings I have ever been to!  I helped her with a few projects to relieve some stress.  One of them were these letters for the fireplace mantel at the venue.

Originally she had planned to wrap the letters in yarn, but once she started she passed it on to me and told me if I didn't get to it to toss the whole project because she never wanted to look at them again ;)  I know the feeling...these little letters from this baby shower took me 2 hours each!

I decided to bag the yarn and spray paint the letters...it took me 5 minutes.  2 coats plus drying time.

Then I bought a lace table cloth from Goodwill, laid it on top of the letters and sprayed with white paint.  I quickly lifted the table cloth abracadabra style and voila!  The paint did get a little blurry in some spots so I suggest an assistant to help lift the lace.  I love the way they turned out and so much easier then yarn!

instagram sticker guest book

My friend Mandy of the beautiful Amanda Kay Photography pinned this idea today.  Turn your Instagrams into stickers...252 of them for $10!  Wouldn't this be awesome for a guest book?  All you need is a friend and an iphone.  Park them by the front door, have them snap a photo of your guests as they sign your guest book...then print the stickers and add them to your guest book later.  Print two copies and add a sticker of your guests in your thank you notes. 

Check out Printstagram for all sorts of amazing things you can do with your Instagram photos.
