Mother's Day Subway Art... Again!

Last year my Mother's Day Subway art had just under 5000 page views.... since it was such a hit I thought I would repost to make it easy to find... well, that, and... I don't have any new material due to my little house flipping project.   You can check out the progress by clicking HERE. I think I like the gray with pink accents the best.
Have fun with these and Happy Mother's Day!

Super Personal and Inexpensive baby or wedding gift

I know I have posted this before but sometimes I'm just so tickled (don't you love that word... tickled... my grandmother used it all the time) with myself that I can't help it. I love to give personal and unique gifts, if I have time, I also love gifting things I've made... just makes me feel good.

I didn't invent typography or word art but I do LOVE it and therefore I can blog about it.  Below you'll see the latest wedding gift I made and framed.  So cute!

Make this gift super inexpensive by painting thrift store frames or repurposing any old frame you have from... possibly your own wedding:)  Isn't regifting tacky??? Nahhh... just don't tell!

Have fun with these.  If you don't think you know how to create your own then visit my ETSY store and I'll help you out.  Below are just a few more like this:)

Coconut and Lime Salt Scrub Tutorial

Thanks to the Lovely Laura at Live.Laugh.Photograph I was inspired to create some salt scrubs of my very own to gift to friends and teachers and what not. Her post is very good and I wanted to give her credit for the inspiration even though I kinda made up my own recipe. Just a dollop of this stuff scrubbed into your hands or feet and then rinsed leaves them silky smooth and smells so yummy! To begin you'll need EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), lime or lemon juice, coarse salt, some fragrance oil.
The recipe I have found works good is... 5 cups coarse sea salt, 1 cup lime juice, 1 cup EVOO, and 3 tsp of coconut-lime fragrance oil (plus more in the jars)

(Purchased the oil below at Walmart) Combine the ingredients in a large bowl. If it isn't your desired consistency then add a little more EVOO.

Smells so good..... I lastly spooned the mixture into jelly jars, then added about 1/2 tsp of fragrance oil to top off each jar. I added a little twine and label which you can print HERE. I printed on cardstock and attached to the jar. So charming and so easy! Perfect homemade gift for any occasion and so easy! This recipe filled 9 jelly jars.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and recipe. For a few other crazy little tutorials click HERE or to follow me on Pinterest click HERE.

I don't know about anyone else, but my mother and mother-in-law are the hardest people to shop for.
