DIY: Chic Baby Wipey Cases

I love fabric! Who doesn't? Unfortunately I am not a sewer :( doesn't stop me from using it though. hehe I have a lot of fabric left over, and with a lot of baby showers come fall. So a super easy no sew project, a lot of you probably already know this. All you need is:
 
Fabric
Ribbon
Padding
Hot Glue
Scissors
 
All you need to do is cut out the fabric in the shape of each side of the wipes case. Glue the padding on first on each of the sides. Covering the back side, the sides, and the little opening to take the wipes out. Than glue on the fabric, last but not least glue on the ribbon, that completes the case, and gives it a polished look. Sorry I don't have pictures on how to, it's pretty much self explanatory though.

Whimsical Toy Storage Reveal

i'm back!!! So sorry I completely neglected my awesome blogger friends! please forgive. This summer has been the busiest summer of all my life. So many updates that I have to show you. And also much work in progress. I hope you have all been having a great summer, and now that it's coming to a closing, it's oh so fun to see the leaves changing colors, the cool breeze in the morning and at night. sigh... good ol fall! Well, without much more talking, let me show you how I completed Nolan's toy storage solution. Remember what it used to look like?



Terrible right? And remember how we found the coolest sale ever!!


 
Remember the uplift of this baby?
 
 

Well now here is the end result!

I made sure not to put any legs on the cool divider. Little ones tend to horde things down and under. To avoid bending over cleaning over and over again, problem solved. No legs. This way it's also easy to reach books and whatnot.

Check this awesome file divider! I have been dying for one of these for about a year now, all the ones I found were online $40 or more plus shipping. Fortunately Target never lets me down. I grabbed the last of these, perfect for back to school, only $10 bucks!! Yeehaa!!

Shoe boxes, with gray lids! Target too of course. Perfect for storing little toys, and they're clear so you can see what's inside.

Perfect color combo, TJ Maxx baby! I love this bin, super cute!

Target dollar section, I got a bunch of these for Nolan's whimsical first birthday party. Perfect to grab and carry around. He puts little things in there, super cute!

Mission Accomplished! Well, what do you think?

Cirque Du Nolan (2nd BirthdayParty)

My dear friends, forgive me for completely neglecting my blog, I feel so bad. I know I failed to post anything last month, shame on me. Well, today I want to completely show off my little man's Circus Theme Birthday party we had for him. I am so excited, but feel so sad, that although we had tons of little guest invited, not many showed up, but that's alright, that's why they say, invite as many because last minute, only few show up. it's alright, we had a blast, but most importantly Nolan had so much fun in his Circus!

 

I fell in love with these little note cards I purchased last year, 6/$1.50 now that's a bargain. I love how vintage and unique they look. Beautiful paper quality and designs. The notecards were blank, so I purchased a cute stamp for the information, date, where, time, rsvp and such. I adore these cute invites, especially the one of the acrobats!

Well, there you have it folks. Another Successful Birthday party, on a dime! Remember, you do not need to spend a ton, to have a very cute and expensive looking party. Spend early, always on a tight budget, and shop around EVERYWHERE! And of course, use your imagination, be creative and have a blast!
 
Thanks for visiting my lovely friends.
