Kiss Me I'm Cute T

Hello sweet friends!  I'm not sure about you all, but this time change has really done a number on me this year.  I've been feeling super late the past few days. :)

I made this freezer paper stenciled shirt a few weeks ago, but the monkey got it dirty before I could get pics of it. :)

I wanted to make him a green t-shirt so he won't be pinched on Thursday. :)  The only green shirt I found had a pocket on it, so I just pretended it wasn't there.  I cut the stencil with my Cricut, ironed it on, and painted it with white fabric paint. 

While Kason is a fraction Irish, he definitely has more cute in him!

Quatrefoil Grapevine Wreath

Hello, Friends! :)  I hope you are having a great start to your week! 

As I've said before, I don't usually decorate for St. Paddy's Day, but this year I added small touches of green around the house.  I started with the Quatrefoil and Four Leaf Clover printable and now I've added this:

I wanted to keep the quatrefoil theme going because it's so classic and add touches of green to the wreath.  This project was extremely affordable for the scale of the wreath!  I made it for just $16.00.

To get started, you will need: four grapevine wreaths, thin brown ribbon or wire, greenery garland, and ribbon.

Lie two wreaths side by side and tie them together with the ribbon or wire.  Be sure to make the knot snug.

Repeat the same process with the other two wreaths.  Then lay one set of two on top of the other to make the quatrefoil.

Now securely tie these together with the ribbon or wire.  I went around and through the grapevine.  The picture below is a close up of where I tied the wreaths.

Now weave the greenery garland in and around the wreath.  I simply tucked the ends of the garland into the wreath.  I did not tie it.  This will make it easy for me to quickly change the appearance of the wreath with the seasons.

Now do the same thing with the ribbon.  Again, I tucked the ribbon ends into the grapevine.

And there you have it!  I hung the wreath above the fireplace in the middle of a decorative wrought iron wall hanging.  It reminds me of an old garden gate.  :) 

The all green wreath is perfect for St. Paddy's Day, but I plan on changing out the ribbon and adding some fabric flowers for spring. :)

I'll be linking this project up to some of my favorite parties!

St. Patrick's Day Messages {Printable}

Hello Sweet Friends!  Happy Monday!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I was so very happy to be home.  I had a very rough time on Thursday and Friday traveling to Baton Rouge and back for work.  It was two days full of late planes, delayed flights, canceled flights, and a broken flip flop (you gotta love walking around an airport with one flip flop).  :)  Needless to say, I spent my weekend relaxing with my sweet boys!

I cannot believe tomorrow is March 1st!  I couldn't let you start the lucky month without this printable for your kiddos or sweeties...or whoever. :)

You know the drill...click on the image to open it in full resolution, right click and select Save Image As, save it, open the file, and print.  Then cut out the messages and drop them into your kiddo's lunch box or your sweetie's briefcase. :)

I wish you a lucky March!  See you tomorrow for some GREEN inspiration! :)  I'll be linking these sweet messages up at my favorite parties!

Quatrefoil & Four Leaf Clover {Printable}

Are you in the mood for some luck?  I have never, ever decorated for St. Patrick's Day before, but the bloggy world does something crazy to me.  I won't be going all out...just adding touches of green here and there.  I wanted to create a printable that was simple and classic and I thought using quatrefoils would be appropriate since they are essentially four leaf clovers.

Isn't she lovely?  :)  She is all yours.  Simply click on the image above, click again to open in full resolution, right-click the image and select Save Image As.  Open the file, resize (if needed), and print.  This image file is huge, so you can blow this up to a poster size if you want to.

I hope this printable will bring you a little luck and get you in the St. Patty's spirit!  :)  I'll be linking up to these fantastic parties!
