Here are some letters I've recently created for my niece and nephew. I've also created a different concept using old wooden blocks. These are two of the many items I'll be listing on Etsy soon. I hope your Saturday is nice and relaxing so far.

This is the first letter for a boy I've created. Cole loves his trains. I have some great ideas for other boy letters around themes and patterns — looking forward to making more.

Morgan's favorite color is purple, probably because of the K-state Wildcats.

Love birds painting party

Last night my friend Bridgette and I arranged a girl's night out at Paint the Towne, a local art studio where an instructor walks you through a painting we had selected. I have a previous post about the same place when my niece Morgan had her butterfly painting party there. It's so much fun for all ages, but as an adult you can BYOB.
Everyone's painting turned out great! I really like that no two are the same. You listen and watch the instructor, then you interpret the painting however you see fit. There are no mistakes (you can always paint over them).
There are quite a few pictures here, but I didn't want to leave anyone out. Plus you can see how different the paintings really are.

The painting hanging on the wall on the right is what we based the design off of. Jessie, the instructor, created a second painting as we went through the steps.

My finished painting.

Butterfly painting party

This past weekend my niece Morgan, who recently turned 5, had a butterfly-themed birthday party with her little girlfriends. My cousin Jessie is opening Paint the Towne in August in Wichita and Morgan's birthday was the very first Paint the Towne party.

Each child was provided with an apron, easel, canvas, paints and brushes.

The girls awaiting the other guests to arrive.

Lily greeted me with a big smile and a lot of hugs.

My niece Breyya ready to start painting.

When I first met Lily she was very shy around me and didn't really want her picture taken. Recently she's let me into her little world, and I am loving it. She has such a big personality it's so fun to experience that with her.

Jessie starting the painting lesson. The kids are painting the pink butterfly as seen in the picture above her head. The kids ranged in ages from 3 to 9 and every one listened intently for each step.

Audrey following directions and held up her paintbrush.

There were adults walking around to help guide the kids through the process, but the main goal was to have fun and let the kids explore through painting.

Izzy smiling for me.

After painting it was treat time. Jen made yummy butterfly cupcakes, sandwiches and rice crispy treats.

Morgan was very excited about opening all of her presents.

These Old Spice commercials crack me up. I love the execution and and wish one day I can work on a project like this. Here's the lastest...

The previous version...

And then there are these Will Ferrell spots that are a bit crude, but funny nonetheless.

DIY party hats

One of the final touches to the party are these birthday hats. Pam and I found a tutorial at Prudent Baby and used the paper template to cut out the shape. For the full tutorial you can use the Prudent Baby's post. We didn't use brads on the punch out holes and used an elastic string we had on hand. I used a large circle punch for the green and pink circles and used and exacto knife to cut out the number one, then applied with hot glue. It's a pretty quick and easy project.

Kids of all ages can wear them.

It's a good looking hat and makes the kids happy.

Maybe not all of them. Sophie's hat band broke, and I think it scared her. Still a cute face!

Jasmine making sure her dolly isn't left out of the party.

One of my favorite shots.
