Embellishing T's= Adorable, Affordable Tops

I LOVE how there are so many tutorials out there showing you how to embellish plain t-shirts. Don't we all have those shirts lying around that we are just bored of wearing?? Lets fix that! I want to try some of my own ideas soon, and I will definitely post the pics here. But first lets take  in some inspiration from others!
 How about this totally cute Anthropologie inspired tee by Tatertots & Jello...
or
Try this plain long sleeve tee transformation 
or
This adorable corsage tee both by Make it and Love it

 And last, but not least, this super cute tee by Blue Cricket Design.
I love that she just bought two cheap shirts at walmart to make this adorable one, and it saved her $40!!! That is amazing!

So go have some fun creating a design fit for the fabulous you!

Delicious!

I don't know if you guys have ever had Bakerella's cake pops, but if you haven't you definitely should make some, they are so good, time consuming, but worth it! This is a picture of some I made...


So I made a new twist on these. Let's call them ice cream pops!
All you need is...
Ice cream, I went for the Strawberries and Cream because I love Strawberries and chocolate
Magic Shell topping
and some sort of scoop
I used this one, which might have been a bit big. If you have a smaller fruit scoop or something to make them even more bite size that would make the ratio of chocolate to ice cream even better!

All you have to do is scoop the ice cream out in a perfect little ball. Then put the ball of ice cream on a spoon and go to town pouring Magic Shell all over it. Now set it aside to harden.  I think this worked the best. I also tried rolling them in the topping, but it didn't cover as well.  I just mixed the topping that fell on the plate to eat with more ice cream!
Now we are to the good part.... time to devour! Okay, so they aren't perfect, but they are perfectly delicious! And a fun change to just scooping it out and throwing it in a bowl!
Have fun!

Making Fabric Flowers

 Lately I have been obsessed with making fabric flowers for headbands or hair clips. They are so easy and so much fun to make. Here are a few I have made...
By the way... I LOVE adding bling!
I found a great website that has a bunch of links to learn how to make a lot of different styles. It's called little birdie secrets and it's an adorable blog filled with lots of tutorials. There are so many adorable flowers you can make! I need to just find the time to try them all!!

Beat The Boredom


If you need to spice up your summer you should really head over here for some cute ideas for kids!
I remember as a kid always saying to my mom, "I'm bored." "There isn't anything to do." It would have been so great if my mom had one of these jars to cure the summer boredom! It would have probably helped her out more than us!! hehe Such a cute idea!

I have to tell you about one of my favorite websites. It is called Fonts for Peas...
 And let me tell you how awesome this is. You can download some of the cutest fonts for FREE! They have SO many to choose from it is hard to decide which one to use, I usually want to use them ALL for my projects! 

Also get this... if you love your own handwriting, or you want to use it to scrapbook, you can submit it and they might just turn your handwriting into a font. How cool is that??
