Week 2- Paper Heart Wreath & More!

Alright, I admit it...I'm addicted to Pinterest! Because of this addiction, I have noticed strange behaviors about myself. Number 1, I've started to 'collect' paint chips from every store I visit because of all of the possibilities they present for Pinterest projects. And number 2, I actually asked my mom to teach me how to sew! I hate sewing, or at least I thought I did. Maybe I can suffer through it in order to make a few Pinterest-inspired party favors or upcycled dresses for Sadie?

This week I decided to focus on a Pinterest project that would be useful for February decor. I LOVE all of the ideas surrounding garlands and wreaths on Pinterest, but especially this one:



I bought a super cute paper pack from K & Company at Michael's (LOTs of paper on sale this week). I followed the simple directions given on the pinned site. I found that although it is really cute, I think I'd like it even more as a garland. Because of the ribbon and the weight of the paper, it sags to be more of an oval shape- still cute, but oval. Since I'm not hanging it up just yet, I may actually decide to convert it to a garland.



Our house is snow and snowman themed for January. Sadie helped me create the garland below out of paint chips and punched paper- soooo easy and cute!




The terrible- twos are among us at our house! I saw a version of the following idea on Pinterest and thought it was worth a try for Sadie. Our family loves going to our local ice cream shop (The Yum-Yum Shop). Sadie seems to understand the concept of earning ice cream scoops. Once she earns 7, off to the Yum Yum Shop we go! Only 2 more this week!
