Birthday Gift Basket part-1

One of my goals this year was to make my family and friends their Birthday gifts.

I've been planning my Sister's gift for a while now and I came up with this.

A beauty gift basket. :)

-Shampoo

-Body wash

-Hand Cream

-Lip Balm

-Loofah 

Making every (but the loofah and basket) was pretty easy. And I think I'm off to a good start with my homemade gifts.


Lip Balm

I used a Altoids tin for the lip gloss, decorated with newspaper scraps and scrapbooking stickers.

Hand Cream

Easy as pie, mix all ingredients together. 

ABC-123 Part 3

Getting there! Only a {few} more to go. :-D

(Yes I know "O" is missing!)

So getting the letters done didn't take as long as I thought they would, finished them within a few days.

ABC-123

The date is getting closer for Maybelline to be here with us and I keep adding on projects to do for her nursery.

I've been looking at Baby Magazines lately to get the DL on some baby tricks, coupons, decor, etc. 

I came along a nursery that I thought was adorable, they used different sizes/fonts of wood letters to make an alphabet on their baby boy's wall. Here I was planning on just making Maybelline's name with the letters, but after seeing this wonderful idea I've changed my mind. I went to JoAnn's yesterday and picked up some letters, they are a little on the pricey side so I only got A-H (for now). :0)  

I will paint some of the letters, cover some with scrapbooking paper, gems, flowers, etc. I'm so excited to get started on this project!

Curtains for Maybe's room are finished, we just need to paint the walls and get them hung up, pictures will be asap. 

A special thank you to Maybelline's Grandma Felps and Great Grandma for making her the curtains.
