DIY Glitter Pumpkin

Right now I am LOVING glitter and gold! So right now the best thing ever is gold glitter! 

I also love my pumpkin I got at the pumpkin patch. Its so cute, little, and perfect! 

Today I have a tutorial on how to glitter your pumpkin without mod podge! Don't get me wrong I think mod podge is great it is just so darn expensive and I didn't want to go to the store to buy some. 

So now to the tutorial of how I did my DIY Glitter Pumpkin! 

Here are the supplies I used. Seriously, just a glue stick!!! This is what I love about this project because it was so easy to do! 

Step 1: I put glue around the top of the pumpkin then simply shake the glitter on to it. Easy. Easy. Easy. 

Step 2: I wanted to make a chevron strip so I put two pieces of tape around the pumpkin for a guideline. 

Step 3: Draw on the glue however you want and simply shake the glitter on it. 

The thing I love about this is the glue stick and with that you can draw any design you want. I think a glittered monogram would look super cute too.

Interchangeable Chalkboard

I don't know about you but fall is my FAVORITE season! I love it! I also love chalkboards.

Here is a simple craft you can do for any season! 

Just get a chalkboard (I got mine from Craft Warehouse), and some decorations!

Switch it up for a year round saying. 

You don't even have to write on it. I got this in a pack of 4x6 sheets of paper at Craft Warehouse. 

Hope you love this as much as I do. 

:)

A Mad Tea Party

When I was at school I was in CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) and I was part of the socials team. We put together a tea party for all the girls and decided to do an Alice in Wonderland theme. It was a TON of work but it was awesome! I wish my pictures were better but I think you'll get the idea. 

We made it a 'tunnel' and had each scene from the movie leading up to the Mad Tea Party. 

The Menu with the oysters

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum 

More oysters

We also had lots of space we just needed to cover... :)

And of course the Madhatter!

Our Everyday Harvest

Campus Book Rentals

Hey all you readers! I am so excited about summer! I'm happy to be home and happy to be back in the bloggy world. But, before we head straight into summer I wanted to talk a little bit about college. I had a great experience when I went away but boy is it expensive!

One way you can cut costs down is by renting textbooks. Books nowadays are SO expensive but by renting you cut more than half the cost! A good service to go through is Campus Book Rentals.com. You save 40-90% off, now that is a deal! There is also free shipping BOTH ways, you can highlight in the books, there is flexible renting periods, and they donate to Operation Smile.

Operation Smile is a great organization that "perform life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it. The long term improvement in quality of life for the children that receive these surgeries is almost in comprehensible." I love that they support good causes like this.

One more cool thing that Campus Book Rentals.com has is a program called RentBack. So, instead of selling your books when you're done you can rent them out to other students and every time they rent it from you, you get the money! How awesome is that?

So if you are away at college or plan to be or even if you're going to school at home, renting textbooks is a great way to go! Especially through Campus Book Rentals.com.

Pink and Yellow First Birthday

Recently my niece Lili just turned one! I had the great privilege to plan her party and I had a blast! While going to school I have realized a great passion for party planning and have decided to pursue it. I am so excited for what my future holds. 

Anyway, back to the party. 

Instead of choosing a theme I chose colors and it worked really well.

The desserts. I made the cake just two layers, then a bunch of cupcakes and a cupcake for the "smash cake". I made it simple just vanilla cake and frosting with sprinkles. Simple but cute.

This is the lovely photo booth! My wonderful dad made it with PVC pipe. It is pretty big and I love it because I can take it apart to store it. I just used dollar store table cloths for the background and streamers. Of course, I couldn't forget the tissue paper poms. 

This is a big chalkboard my mom has in the house and we change it for different holidays or first birthdays in this case. 

This is the same table with the desserts. I bought those glass bottles a while ago and just keep them for different parties. They work great and they are so cute! 

Oh she is too cute! Love this little one.
