House Keeping:
Thanks to the absolutely, amazingly fabulous Ana of Blog Milk I am 100% up and running on my new blog. All of my links work perfectly now {it only took me a month to get my act together and Ana 30 minutes to set it up}. I even have a button so that you all can get a F&F app on your phone and a new link to Instagram.So I just jumped on the Instagram bandwagon and WOW! it is much fun. Even if you don't feel like posting photos I highly suggest getting an account. In a lot of ways it is like blogging but just on a smaller, quicker scale. I feel like I take photos of all the little things that I think, "I should post that", but never get around to. I love it. I also highly suggest following my sister V {vblackblack}. Her photos are so much fun. I am living vicariously through her as she travels the world with her super cute {Jude Law body double} boyfriend.
DIY: I had so much fun making these banners for our blogger resource party. All you need is felt, twine, a sewing machine {although hot glue would totally work} and scissors. I cut zillions of circles in all sort of colors and at random sewed them on the string about 5-8 inches apart.
Giveaway: I decorated Henry's room with some of this banner flair but I have about 7 yards left and would love to share it with one of you. Leave a comment by Sunday night and I will announce a winner {at random} on Monday.
O me please, that would look great in my new kitchen :)
ReplyDeleteoh cute! I'd love it for my daughters room.

ReplyDeleteLove the garland! I am obsessed with making them out of scraps of fabric or paper and sending them to my out-of-town girlfriends. About time I started thinking of one for myself!

DeleteLove the garland, they were so cute. I am obsessed with making them for the kids birthday parties {I was inspired by Greta's and Your's years ago}, and now each of the kids rooms has garland from their previous birthday. They love the reminder of their special and fun day. They also love to help make them, this year for Hudson's bday the hot glue came in handy and actually held up super well. Love the giveaway, although don't enter my vote, I don't want to take away from someones chance! Just wanted to share how much I love them!
ReplyDeleteAwesome garland! Your blog is great, and I love the fresh and clean new design.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Lex...love it!XO
ReplyDeleteI've just joined Instagram (happy to see you there!) and feel very much the same about it-it's a place to interact and capture funny or inspiring moments. I love the immediacy and the feeling that I'm "keeping up" with the people I like/love/admire.
ReplyDeleteSo loving that you are on Instagram now....love the new site and totally have to check out the App and how that works (fab)! Hope you are well, dear! xo . trina
