silhouette promo may 23

This post was brought to you by Silhouette.  All opinions are 100% my own.  ----- Seriously...I LOVE giving Silhouette Portraits away!!!  Wahoo!!! You'll find all the details at the end of the post... This month's promo is featuring fabric interfacing, which opens up a whole new world of fabric projects.  I was so excited when this product was first introduced, because it made my life SO much easier.  No longer was I painstakingly cutting things out by hand, nor was I limited to large, single letters that were easier to cut out.  I could actually cut out a whole name, in any font I wanted!  That's just the beginning...check out these darling projects! {Appliqued Dish … [Read more...]

This is a sponsored post and giveaway by Central Garden & Pet. All opinions are 100% my own. Please see full disclosure below.    It's spring, and you all know what that brings! It means trips to Home Depot, Lowe's and other home & garden stores to get flowers and plants for your yard and garden. It's probably the most popular place in town on a Saturday morning!  I love hanging flower baskets, and a few weeks ago we went to get some for our back porch. I LOVE red, and it was my color of choice this year!   While we were there, we also perused the fertilizer aisles for something that help us keep our flowers happy and alive.  ☺ Am I the only ones who … [Read more...]

Carters giveaway | simplykierste.com

Disclosure: Post and giveaway sponsored by Carter’s, but all opinions are 100% my own. Please see below for additional disclosure. I {heart} Carter's pajamas.  Since my oldest was born, my children have almost exclusively worn pajamas by Carter's.  I love them for so many reasons!  Pajamas get worn a lot and washed a lot at our house, so it's vital that they are durable and wash well.  Each of my kids take after their mother and like to be in pajamas if we're not going anywhere.  Pajama day is pretty much everyday around here! ☺ As a mom, I love and appreciate that no matter how much they are worn and washed, they still stay in really great shape.  That's also an important … [Read more...]

Hello!  It's Michelle From Chalkboardblue!  I'm excited to share with you a fun sign you could make to accent a Boy's or Girls Athletic Themed Room. I made this baseball sign for my son who loves everything to do with baseball! The finished sign measures 16 1/2 in. by 16 1/2 in. I took One pine board measuring 5 1/2 inches wide by 8 feet long.  ( I didn't end up using the whole 8 feet). I pre-stained and painted my board before I cut it.  I stained it first with a dark stain.  When that dried  I painted it white.  I did this so when you sand down some of the white in places, the stain shows through giving it a weathered or worn look. Using a miter saw, I cut 3 boards each … [Read more...]

I'm so lucky!  It's time for another Silhouette Portrait giveaway!!! Plus...this month's promo is also awesome, featuring my personal favorite...vinyl! It's also priced at an all-time low--you don't want to miss this! I use vinyl ALL.THE.TIME.  I label everything in sight, create tons of home decor, put it on my walls, use it on tags & cards, create banners and other party items...and more.  I think I'm kind of in love with it.  :) I'm in the middle of re-doing my twin boys' room (age 3), as they have now moved from their cribs into bunk beds. Today I used vinyl for a simple lamp makeover, and I LOVE it.  I actually only added one small thing--a number 2 (there are two of them :) … [Read more...]
