New Recipe, New Printable, and More....

Hi Guys,
Sorry it has been a little while since my last post. Life is busy and my schedule has been a little hectic the last few weeks. I promise I will try to get better at it. This week, I wanted to share with y'all a new recipe, new awesome printable, and new organization tool (for those techies).
The recipe I posted under the recipe tab is for a breakfast frittata. It is basic but good recipe. You can use the last bit of leftovers or veggies you have in your fridge. Please go see the recipe and tell me what you think. This is definitely a weekend, what do I make now kind of recipe.
The new printable is for a manila shipping tags, that you can personalize and use as gift tags, save the dates, and labels. I basically scanned these tags and you can use them in word or publisher.
Also, check our store on ETSY. We have added new items and will continue to do so in the next few days.

Baby's Room Decor

When we started looking for ideas to decorate our son's nursery, we decided (okay, I decided) that we would investment in furniture and decor that are functional and work through his different growth stages. After searching the net and Pinterest for several ideas. I opted to use a Travel/Vintage airplane theme. Choosing the wall paint was the toughest for me because I wanted to keep the room soothing but not washed out. I love to use catalogs to get ideas too. One day I got a Pottery Barn Kids catalog, which had a nursery with a World Map mural on the wall. I saw it and said "This is it!".

 
 I stenciled the World Map using an overhead projector. After choosing this pretty blue/green color, I added touches of white, grey, blue, and red. The room turned out pretty great! I feel he can grow in this room and use some of the furniture and decor items in the future.

I got rid of the ceiling fan! I hate ceiling fans because they look bulky and I feel someone will get injured by them. What can I say! I am a mom! I found a simple light fixture and added a compass decal around it that would go with my travel/vintage/industrial theme.

On the wall by the window I put three red shelves and next to the closet I hung two baby pictures and his initial A. The room was too bright for his midday naps, so I got these chevron drapes that accidentally matched the rug colors perfectly.

Xander's 12 Month Birthday Party

My little one's birthday this year fell around Easter. So, I decide to have a cute Tale of Peter Rabbit themed party. Since, we can all go a little overboard with the birthday party craze, I started buying things a little ahead and I did a lot DIY projects. I put a cute party together with a Easter Egg hunt for the little ones.
I could not find any affordable invitations, so I did my own. You can get them at my store LuxeEmporium at ETSY. I also, made some thank you cards and some message cards. Please see below.

Here I have the invitation, minus the details. I printed all in light yellow card stock I bought on sale at Michael's.
I got the elements and the papers from a digital scrapbooks sold in the ETSY website. They are a must! So easy to use and create your own invitations, stationary, thank you cards, etc...
Also, it is instant gratification, once you pay for it you get to download it. I use Microsoft Publisher to create my invitations. Oh, I almost forgot! In addition to the invitations, I also made my own pennant garland with the color scheme from the invitations and message cards.

Now, to the actual party! I have added pictures of the cake, the cake table, and the cake pops buffet table. I hope you all enjoy it. Please post any comments or questions! Oh for the goody bags, I bought on Ebay some paperback Tale of Peter Rabbit books for $2.00, had some fruit pouches, and some crayons. All those items were very affordable. As I said, buy way ahead. For example, I have already started buying things for goody bags for next year. You can get things for $0.50 to $1.00 if you bargain shop. I bought some medium size playdough for a buck and outdoor chalk packs for $0.50.
