Today we did a little prep for my nephew & niece’s first baby shower. Skate on over was the theme 🧸❤️This came out so crazy cute!
I love all the details- the Vans baby shoes on the bears, the sock garland, the boxes used as additional centerpieces, the foam cutouts 😍🧸 Designed everything in canva and printed at Walgreens.
Celebrating my 49th birthday and battle against cancer with a Summerween Party!
We watched Goonies in the pool and had traditional cookout food with a small Summerween twist. So many great costumes, we dressed as Carmen San Diego & Waldo… but had Sandlot, goonies, tinker bell, Wonder Woman, and Bruce Banner 👌👌
We finished the night playing Grab the Mic 🎤 and it was awesome!! I definitely want to make this a yearly thing- all my favorite things together.
Thank you to my crew, you guys always throw down for me & I love you!!
We’re almost ready for tomorrow’s Summerween Party!!
So thankful for goodwill! I’d much rather thrift or diy 🎃 I’ll use these goodies for the party this Friday!

DIY Ghosts & Giant Flowers - Final Reveal
How it looks at night time is just too awesome. 👏🏻 🙌🏻
Starting to add in the other Summerween touches, but had to show the final result of the ghosts and flowers with ambient lights 👻🌸🥰
I love it!
Two weeks until my Shannoween birthday party and a few more projects to set up!!
This might be my favorite idea yet!
Staying with the giant flowers & Summerween aesthetic, these skull planters are my favorite decor from last year and I’m excited to reinvent them for my birthday bash! These skull planters are from last year’s At Home line.
I just used dollar tree noodles to hold the flower bases. Assembled the flowers and put stem pvc backs on, and made a variety length of aluminum pipes- and tadah!! 🎉 Absolutely love it!’
