A Little {Lot} Bit of Fun

We have been having SO much fun around these parts the past few weeks.

Spending time with family has been the BEST!!  I always LOVE going back to Montana, seeing the mountains, being with my family, and just chillin' and exploring around my old home.

Hope you enjoy these pictures and there will be many more to come in the next few weeks!

Washi Taped Buckets

I love washi tape so much...it has SO many uses!

And it's super easy to use too.  And I LOVE that there are so many washi patterns.

One of my NEW favorite storage solutions is to use buckets to put my things into.  They are fun, pretty and very practical.

And so I thought I'd dress up some of my buckets with some cute washi tape I got from one of my very favorite online stores, Somerset Place.  They have all sorts of fun tapes and papers.  I just can't get enough of their stuff!

Here's my buckets, all washied up!  Now I am using them to store {you guessed it} washi tape, and baker's twine.

All I did was washi tape the whole bucket, then I used mod podge to seal it, and put some cute little chalk labels on.  Love them!

Would LOVE to see what washi taped projects YOU have been doing lately!

Mason Jar {July 4th} Centerpiece

Have I ever told you HOW MUCH I love July 4th?

I am such a pomp and circumstance gal all of the way around. I love the fireworks. I love the summertime and the heat.

I LOVE Freedom and all that it brings with it.  I am such an independent type of girl.

And I LOVE those colors.  If you've been around here for long, you already know that.  Ha!!

So today I'm sharing my fun mason jar centerpiece I just finished up for the 4th.  Hope you enjoy!

Here are the steps for making it.

1.  Put red, white, and turquoise sand in layers in the bottom of mason jars.
2.  Tie either fabric ribbon or baker's twine around the tops of the jars.  {have you ever noticed how much I love that stuff?}
3.  Cut out these cute July 4th Printables, mod podge them onto some wooden circles.  Glue them on to wooden skewers.  Then put them into some pretty vintage paper straws before inserting them into the sand.  I also used some washi tape at the tops of some of them as little cute flags.
4.  Paint and distress six wooden frames.  Place the finished jars on top of them.  (I also used some fun scrapbook paper underneath to act as placemats.
5.  Enjoy and celebrate!!  

 

 

Happy Independence Day!!  God Bless America!!
