As part of the September Pinterest Challenge, I’m going to show you how to make an adorable diaper cake topped with an elephant made of receiving blankets.
The purpose of the Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all to not just pin, but act on it!
At the end of the post you’ll find links to lots of other great projects, recipes and ideas by other bloggers. Bee sure to check them out!
The monthly blog hop is hosted by Erlene of My Pinterventures.
Diaper cakes make great table decorations and centerpieces for baby showers, or as personalized, hand-crafted gifts for new parents. I’ve made about five as gifts so far, and all have been big hits.
Come see what inspired the elephant-topped diaper cake, with tips on how to assemble and personalize your own creation.

As part of the July Pinterest Challenge, I’m going to show you how easy and inexpensive it is to make a vintage china tier server.
I made two plate and teacup stands for the Alice in Wonderland, Unbirthday Party. Each held a variety of homemade finger sandwiches, and were set up on either end of a buffet table in the dining room.
For the June challenge, I shared How to Make Whimsical Teacup Fascinators. A more complicated, time-consuming but rewarding craft project for the same event.

As part of the June Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, I am excited to show you the teacup fascinators I made as favors for the Alice in Wonderland, Unbirthday Party.
The theme event was the 4th annual My Favorite Things Party I’ve hosted.
I made a total of 18 fascinators in three different designs (teacup, mini Mad Hatter and floral) — in a variety of colors. They were the primary favor for guests.
First-come, first-pick in the Mad Hatter’s trunk show!
The purpose of the Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all to not just pin, but act on it! You’ll want to read until the end for links to lots of fun projects, recipes and posts by other bloggers. The monthly blog hop is hosted by Erlene of My Pinterventures.
Learn what inspired the teacup fascinators, see examples of the ones I made, and learn how to make one (or more!) yourself.

Welcome to the April Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop and some bee wreath DIY inspiration!
This month is the first time I am participating, and I’m very flattered to join such a talented group of bloggers. You’ll want to read until the end of the post to see links to lots of recipes and projects.
The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all to not just pin, but to make it, cook/bake it, plant it, decorate it, wrap it….. you get the idea!
Hoping spring is around the corner, for April I chose to share Bee Wreath and Skep. Actually, three bee-themed, deco mesh wreath creations made as decorations for a My Favorite Things Party.
The wreaths and skep were inspired by not one, but two Pinterest pins and their associated blog DIY tutorials. (more…)
