I am excited to share my daughter's room design that we have been working on this year. I'm falling in love with it each step of the way. I'm sharing it in parts over the next week. While on Pinterest, I found this adorable room with hanging pom-poms. How clever that Jessica used paper lanterns! I love the 3 pom poms in the corner of Jessica's room. After finding these two pom poms (one gray and one teal) at Hobby Lobby (pic below), I thought I would make a coral one to tie … [Read more...] about Girl Bedroom Makeover Part 1- DIY Hanging Satin Pom Pom

Doll Bedding For Poppy Seed Projects Beds
I was so excited when I found out that Poppy Seed Projects was going to start making doll beds that fit American Girl Dolls. As a mother of 3 girls, (and 3 American Girl dolls), I knew that these were going to be a hit at my house! For weeks my two oldest begged me to begin their beds.
