DIY Matchbox Shrine Favors

matchbox-shrine-5

(Used in this project: Rectangle Labels in Henna style.) Matchbox shrines are one of my favorite craft projects and I thought the idea could transform well into a beautiful wedding favor. Decorate blank matchboxes with personalized labels from Evermine and fill them with small trinkets and treasures that symbolize your love and wedding day. I included the phrase, "Live my the Sun. Love by the Moon." to match the mood and theme of the new Henna style. The final result turned out beautifully … [Read more...]

Lingerie Cookies recipe from My Own Ideas blog #wedding #bachelorette #bride #lingerie #cookies #recipe #baking #favor #diy

(Used in this project: Heart-Shaped Labels in Soft Hearts style, Large Labels in Lace style, and Large Square Glassine Envelopes.) I first saw this idea on Pinterest, and from numerous sites— however, since my bout with Royal Icing for the Apple Cookies, I knew I had the foundation for creating these cookies without much instruction. All I needed was a heart-shaped cookie cutter and a lot of practice. These cookies are so pretty for my friend Melody’s bachelorette party! At first, I … [Read more...]

Country Potholders

pot-holders-3

(Used in this project: Circle Labels in Mele Kalikimaka style.) Last summer we went to the Cowboy Dinner Tree. It is pretty famous among a subgroup of Oregonians who value odd experiences in the country and like to eat a lot. It’s outside of the town of Silver Lake, Oregon, about two hours south and west of the dead center of Oregon. We wanted to eat there; we had heard about it for years and years, and never came close enough to stop, but on this trip, we knew well enough ahead of time to … [Read more...]

When I come in from the garden in my very favorite gardening flip flops I'm sure to leave a dirt trail behind me. But even after a hot shower and a quick sweep, my feet still ache from the pounding they just took. I made up a herbal foot soak just to pamper my … [Read more...]

For the finishing touch I topped each bottle … [Read more...]
