SWEETHEART SEASON
VALENTINE’S DAY, GALENTINE’S DAY, DATE NIGHT & ANNIVERSAREY PROJECTS
I love cleverly crafted candles and experimenting with new methods of making them as gifts for my friends! So while I was thinking of fun additions to my Galentine’s gift boxes last year, it was the perfect time to try putting pretty gold foil accents into my candle crafting and thus these gorgeous Crescent Moon Candles came to be!
There’s no better way to soak up the summer sun than with a tasty beverage, and for my friends and I that drink is all the delicious seltzers the world can offer! So when I was deciding on additions to some galentine’s gifts for my best girls, I broke into my new Cricut materials to create some pretty patterned koozies, and thus these Heart and Moon Patterned Skinny Koozies were born!
Be it a party or a date night at home, there’s nothing like a little romantic candle light to set the mood, and one of my favorite styles I’ve seen is when tapered candles are used to create candlescapes with wine bottles! Unfortunately for me, real candles are a little too much of a fire hazard for our home’s parties at present, but it was the perfect opportunity to create reusable candle holders from my existing wine bottles, with a little help from my favorite stationery sealing wax.
If there's a favor I love to give for baby or bridal showers, it has to be shower and spa themed goodies! So when I was done making bath bombs and bath salts, the next favor in my lineup had to be another of my favorite spa themed favors to give with a fun mini sized twist, these Ombre Pink Heart Shaped mini soaps!
There is nothing like a hot bath to soak away the troubles of the day, and giving fun spa themed goodies for them as favors is surely one of my favorite things! When I was done making a new set of Mini Bath Bomb Trios for my friendcation in Florida, I still had plenty of bath bomb supplies left, so I chose to vary the charm and help one of my at home besties with some favors for her teen’s spa party, these Floral Fizzy Bath Salts!
The last couple weeks we've been showcasing all our projects that we made for our girls weekend in the balmy weather of Florida last month, and now we’re putting it all together into the gift boxes I gave each of my girlfriends during our trip, these Sleepover Spa Sorority Gift Boxes!
For those cold winter nights, nothing beats a delightful pair of fuzzy slipper socks! I feel like this is equally true all year round, so despite the fact I was jetting off from the cold to balmy beach weather, I wanted to include something in my friend’s Sleepover Spa Sorority Gift Boxes with a cozy vibe that still fit my theme for our college getaway vacation. Enter these Personalized Sorority Socks, that gave us the perfect matching accessory to share during the weekend, just like TShirts from our college days, while also being lovely for traversing those chilly tile floors of our rental home in the morning!
We’re back from some balmy southern weather and ready to show off all the cute gifts and favors I made for all my friends! So the next couple weeks of projects are devoted to all the fun goodies in the Sleepover Sorority Spa Gift Boxes I crafted for my wonderful college friends, starting with a lovely favor to make sure everyone gets some shut eye when it's time for bed after a day of chatting and vacationing!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! While I bedecked my husband’s office in heart shaped post it notes, dinner will be much sweeter with this lovely conversation heart centerpiece gracing our table! I originally made this beauty years ago at my first Valentine’s Tea party for my friends, so now I’m remaking it for pretty new blog photos and to decorate with for this and my future Valentine’s Day events!

I love giving away bath supplies as Bridal Shower and Baby Shower Favors, but they are great gifts for any variety of events, so I returned to this tutorial to create a new trio of bath bombs for my latest trip to the beach to visit and catch up with some college friends! This pretty trio was the perfect finishing touch to the Spa Sleepover Gift Boxes I made for each of my friends, being easy to DIY and color customize!
