Wrapping Station! DIY Factory Post!

This is one of my "DIY" Factory posts. If you read my blog much, you know that Shane call's it that because of my constant projects haha :) I saw a post on a blog I follow not long ago, and it gave me inspiration for my new WRAPPING STATION! I have a room upstairs that I have converted into my craft room but really since we moved in, it's been the junk room. This weekend with Shane's help we started cleaning it out so I can really have a craft room, lol. I had SO much wrapping paper, millions of bags, tape, bows...pretty much you name it and it's up there.

I headed off to Lowe's with P and got the most functional "closet" organizer and turned it into a wrapping station! For only $34.99 I was able to organize all of my wrapping stuff and it's all in one place! I'm VERY excited about it and it's so cute which doesn't hurt. It hangs on the inside of the door so you don't see it unless you're in the craft room :) If you have millions of birthdays and holidays with lot's of gifts like we do, this is a PERFECT solution! So so easy to do too...I did it during P's nap. Here's the finished product!!!!

I did bows on top

Three row's of ribbon and then a basket with 4 plastic glasses from Walmart .88cents a piece!

I put the following items in them.

Labels

Pens 

Tape

 Scissors

Last but not least, the fun, pretty wrapping paper!

This was a fun little project and I'm excited to wrap the next gift! 

Last night we helped Mark and Laurie with a wedding shower for Laurie's friend. It was fun and the food was delicious! Laurie is one of the best party planners around, and she always helps us throw super fun parties for our babies or any event that's going on in the fam! I got dressed up last night which I  don't do often these days and when Presley saw me he was so cute. I had a sparkly top on and he was in amazement, lol. It was precious. He was amazed at the sparkles really not me haha. I tried a new Pinterest hair-do last night and loved it. Looks complicated but only took about 5 minutes to do!

Back to organizing the craft room I go!

DIY Factory

Yesterday P and I made a trip to Lowe's. It was about to rain when we got there so I went to fast and forgot his cart cover :/ I used a blanket at least, lol. I wish i would have created it...I mean it's the most amazing invention. Carts are so gross and who knows what germs are on the handles, yuck! I found a new floor for photos and a few other goodies! I got the paint for the vintage high chair and I'm SUPER excited about it! I chose a PEACH color. It's gonna be perfect for boys or girls! So excited to post before and afters!

Speaking of chairs, I found this gem the other day! I'm gonna use it for my "Mommy and Me" Mother's Day minis and for pictures when people want it from now on. It's so colorful I love it! I'm excited to find some other cheap chairs and do this myself in the future. If you know of anywhere or anyone who has some old chairs they want to get rid of let me know! Here's the chair!

I have several DIY Factory things going on. I'm currently cleaning out the craft room upstairs. It's been the "keep all" since we moved and I'm going to turn it into a fab space. I'll be posting a super easy DIY project for a wrapping station in the next few days. Everyone has tons of wrapping stuff and I bet this will be a hit!

On another note, Shane put one of P's birthday presents together FINALLY!!!! The instructions were crazy and we put it off as long as we could. He loves his new taxi cab and plays in it constantly! Today when he woke up he went straight to his car, lol :)

Then we played outside for a while

Today I also closed a deal on another house I had listed! Have I mentioned I love real estate?! I get to stay home with my baby, but also do something I love that doesn't take away from my time with P. It's so fun and if you're thinking about moving or buying, let me know!

Have a great night! XOXO

St. Paddy's Day!

On St. Patrick's Day we had a fun day! We went to our FAV mexican restaurant Senior Tequila and had a late lunch. Presley loved the balloons as you can tell in the second pic below :) The first pic was on our way, he LOVES his flip-flops. I probably like them more though because I'm obsessed with his little feet! I have been since he was born, lol.

After lunch we headed to the park! Pres and I go all the time during the week but it was fun to take daddy and show him what P does when we go. He LOVES the tunnel. I'm so glad the weather has been so great (except for the rain which I love) it's perfect for the park! 

He LOVES the slide. He's had a little slide in our house so he knows exactly what to do, ha!

Just love the flip-flops!

Here he comes! Just making sure I'm still there...

We love the park!

My preshy boy

He laughed so hard trying to touch me but his little arms couldn't reach, lol

Unexpected fav pic

SOLD!

Yesterday I started negotiations on a house for a dear friend. Of course there was a counter offer and today their offer was accepted! It's so much fun being a realtor and helping people with the biggest purchase in their lives! I get to see so many beautiful homes and learn so much constantly. It makes me happy when I save people money and they get a great deal! I'm so excited for Heather and Steven to move back here, yippee!

Today Presley wore his first pair of jean shorts! They're 12-18 month and big on him, but he was stylin' and wore a cute belt to help keep them tight enough. I have a feeling I'll be getting some smaller ones too though. He's talking more and more everyday! He said "GiGi" yesterday and I caught it on camera! Everyday I say everyone's name a ton and I think he's starting to catch on :)

I have my last set of Easter Mini's tomorrow! It's been a BLAST! I'm gonna get some more cute ones of P with the bunny tomorrow before I give the bunny back. I also got some CUTE CUTE spring props today! I'm shooting a "Year 2" session of identical twin girls in a few weeks and can't wait! I feel like everything is really coming together and I just have so many ideas for Frame It! Photography.

Tomorrow is St. Paddy's day so I'll be posting a cute pic of P tomorrow in green :)

Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls

Today was a long but fun day! Pres and I headed up to Oklahoma City to meet my little and her hub's to get things rolling on their offer on a new home! I'm so excited for them! After that, we headed to Norman and went to some used furniture stores, but no treasures were found. I'm trying to find two unique pieces for night stands. I don't want them to match and I plan on refinishing them, so who knows when I'll find what I'm looking for. I was inspired by two I wanted from the lovely Dittamore Girls! I love their stuff and one of the sisters ended up keeping them because they were fabulous to say the least!

We headed back to Oklahoma City and had dinner for Chad's birthday. He turned 20 today and we had a yummy dinner at Hefner Grill. Presley BARELY slept today but he was such a good boy! He was definitely ready to be home and go night night.

I found a really cute idea for St. Paddy's day if you have kids. Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls!

All you need is a can of cinnamon rolls and some food coloring. Check out where I found them HERE

Presley had his first taste of a cinnamon roll today so I think I will be trying this on St. Paddy's!

Frame It!

Well, the first part of my Easter Mini's are done and I'm editing them all now! I am SO excited with how they all turned out! Here's a few of my fav's so far :)

I absolutely LOVE taking pictures! It's so fun to see all the kiddo's faces light up when they see the bunny. I hope all the moms and dads like the pictures as much as I do! I love that people choose me to take pictures of their families. I love capturing sweet and silly moments. I'm still working on a lot of new things and plan on working on a lot of them tonight!! Excited to share everything I've been working on! 

I'm also going to have my first giveaway after all the easter sessions are done. Let me tell you, this will be a really AMAZING giveaway/contest for all of my clients. You WILL want it I PROMISE :)

Gotta go give P a bath.

XOXO

Crazy Weekend

Yesterday was a crazy day to say the least! It was a fun day showing my "little" Heather and her hubby Steven homes in Tulsa. It's always so fun to see how people decorate their homes and we saw a lot! We started in midtown and the headed towards South Tulsa. On the way to look at the last house, I got rear ended! I was at a complete stop obeying the law and had just enough time to look in my rearview mirror and BAM. I'm almost positive he was texting on his phone, he obviously wasn't paying attention. Luckily, we hardly even felt it and no one was hurt.I'm also so glad Presley wasn't in the car with me. I would have freaked out and probably lost my marbles. I am so thankful and will definitely never have a car again after looking at his after the wreck. We were safe because we were in an SUV and his little car had no chance. If you're thinking about getting an SUV I highly recommend it! The good news is they found an amazing house and I am SO happy for them! If everything works out, they will have a gorgeous home to start their lives back in Tulsa!

To say the least, I will be watching my rear view mirror like a nut case for a while now, lol :)
