One fact about my mom: she is a hardcore Pinterest pinner. She is also really good at choosing/making gifts for Christmas.

(I mean really good.) Last year my mom picked up on my love for stacking suitcases and painted some suitcases white for me. This year, inspired by Pinterest of course, my mom and dad made me this amazing table from an old suitcase. My dad made the legs and base and my mom painted and redid the inside of the suitcase. My parents are pretty crafty folks. :) To redo the inside, my mom used upholstery fabric, cut it to size, and then used some hot glue. The little train case was also a Christmas gift from my boyfriend, Sean, last year. A little rabbit dish where I keep little knickknacks and my rainbow Polaroid Land Camera.

HOW TO: Add a few drops of food coloring inside an empty balloon. Put open end of balloon on faucet, SLOWLY turn water on. Lucky for us, we got a little snow and had a little cold. i took a pr of scissors to the frozen balloons to get the plastic off, and they were so cool. and a little messy. i recommend black gloves – won’t see the stains, won’t get food coloring on your hands! Iron on Wall Art. I have been meaning FOREVER to do something about the wall above my little guys crib. It looks like this: (SORRY--bad camera phone picture) What is so bad about this you might ask? Well NOTHING--if your name is LANDON--not COLTON. BUT if you are COLTON and this is YOUR bed--and you are now over 2 years old and your older brother LANDON is now 4 and hasn't occupied this room or this bed for 2 years--then THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS WALL!!

So the story goes like this: I wanted to do COLTON'S name on the wall--but I frankly didn't want to spend the $ to buy any more wood letters that I would have to paint or mod podge or something. Well it did. I found THIS gal (at the Brassy Apple) doing THIS (Heat-n-Bond WALL ART). I was BLOWN AWAY by the AWESOMENESS and BRILLIANCE of her idea. So I went online to a free font website and downloaded a fun font for Colton's name.

I figured out the size I wanted and printed each letter out. Next I got out the Heat-n-bond. So here I am tracing my letters.
