Disney Princess Masquerade Masks

Lately, I've been trying to be more diligent in having craft time with my little girl.  So, I was trying to find some fun crafts to do with her, when I came across Disney family.com. 

This is my new favorite website! 

I love the ideas and different craft projects for kids.  Most of the crafts are for an older audience, but I did find these princess masks on the website and thought it would be easy enough for my toddler to decorate. 

She loved it!  Loved the sparkly glue mostly...

I think they turned out really cute!

This picture makes me laugh, but don't we all look like such pretty princesses??

After searching for a while, I finally found some cute bedding for my little girl's room!!  I found it at Target and on sale no less!  The colors are great and the owls are just so cute!  The only downside is we only bought one curtain panel to match the set and now those curtains are nowhere to be found in stores... I'm still trying to come up with a plan to find another one.

Here's a little peek at her room:

There was a wall hanging that matched perfectly in stores, but alas I didn't buy it.  I started to regret that decision until I saw a cricut cartridge called Hoot 'n' Holler, which is filled with owls that looked alot like the owls on the bedding.  So I got to work and made my own wall hanging... again. :)  Seems I'm doing alot of this...  Anyway, the finished product looks great and matches perfectly!  



The DIY projects begin...

For those who don't know, we have once again packed up the moving truck and moved even further north!  In doing so, I have lost my beautiful home, or should I say scrapbook area...  So lately most of my crafting energy has been channeled into the house, however, I have managed to squeeze in some time to create a few scrapbook pages of our recent trip to Disneyland!

Our new home definitely has potential, it's just tackling this 1970's home can be a bit daunting.  I was really shocked to see the kitchen (yes we moved into this place without seeing it)... small and very outdated, but so far we've changed the hardware on the kitchen cupboards, reapplied the caulking around the tiles, and changed the electrical outlets from ivory to white and surprisingly  it has made a difference in how I feel about it. 

Our big project has been the basement.  An unfinished, cold, mess is hopefully going to turn into something a little more bareable and even useable!  The outside of the basement was all drywalled, thankfully!  So we (and if my husband was reading this he would say HE) put up the drywall down the middle wall.  So far mudding isn't going fast enough...  I can hardly wait to paint!

After (with drywall)

If you would like to help me out... I need some paint ideas.  There are two windows in this room so there is some light down there, but it would still be nice to paint it something to brighten it up.  Any ideas??

Thanks for stopping by!
