Simple Gift Wrapping & Some Fun
We wrapped the girl's Teachers gifts and they turned out pretty cute! Super simple too.
We used brown paper bags, these cute printable tags I found HERE, and tiny clothes pins.
Now for the fun! Yesterday my little Lilians Kindergarten class made Gingerbread houses. It was so fun to go and help her!
Once we got home the girls wanted to play in the snow... Haha, in their school clothes no less.
Hope your enjoying your loved ones during this Christmas season!

A Day of Crafting
Yesterday I was lucky enough to spend some time crafting! It's almost food for the soul! Here are a few of my creations I made while Cadence and Owen we're napping... 
We've all seen those cute signs on Pinterest similar to this...
I love my new version of it!
I can't show this entire sign because it has the family last name of the person I'm giving it to. But I think it turned out pretty cute.
I can not wait to give these as gifts for Christmas! There is nothing better than a Hand Made gift! It really makes you feel like someone has thought of you. Happy Crafting!

Don't you LOVE Pinterest! I do! It's so addicting and one of the biggest social media sites out there. Here are 9 tips that will help you in marketing your website on Pinterest. 1. Plan for Success - Be sure to properly set up your account and create Boards that will apply to your niche market.
2. Be Social - Pinterest is a visual social media website. Meaning you need to interact with others. Follow others, comment on their pins, thank others for re-pinning your pins and create relationships. This will enable you to gain a strong following.
3. Invite others to Follow You - We've all seen those Follow me on Pinterest buttons. Be sure to add your own on your blog and other social sites. This is a great way to gain exposure!
4. Pin It - Along the same lines as having others follow you on Pinterest, you need to have a Pin It Button on your blog so others can Pin your images. Be sure your creating quality material to be pinned.
5.Create larger images - Grab attention by having longer images. This will take up more space and gives you more screen time.
6. Remember your SEO - Search Engine Optimization is so key to being found. Use #hashtags, keywords and url's in your pins.
7. Promote Creatively - Add a call to action in your pins... Something like "Pin if you agree" with a favorite quote.
8. Pin Different Image Types - photos, images, text and even videos!
9. Be Copyright Savy - Don't pin images that have copyrights - you can get yourself into trouble. On your own images be sure to add your website address and link back to your page.
Happy Pinning :)

My DIY flower boxes
Our garage has slowly been getting a face lift. I can't wait to show it off once it's completed! Here is my DIY flower box project though....
Not too bad right!
So I started out by making 4 square boxes out of 2x4's.
We had a stack of old picket fence planks. I picked the past of them, cut to size, scraped off the old paint, screwed them into my frames and re-painted.
I've been seeing these super cute lanterns on Pinterest as well. So I made a few for myself.
I also made this fun sign that is hanging outside the walk in door along with scrubbing, repainting and putting a new light bulb in the outside fixture. Several more things yet to do but it's feeling so much more finished day by day.
Have a great week!
