40 Gifts for 40 Years
This week I turned 40 years old. To be honest I’m really not sure how I feel about that, it could take up a post all in itself.
For my 40th birthday gift, my Mom sent me the cutest thing! It was such a fun and unique idea that after I had opened a couple of the packages I thought “I HAVE to stop and take pictures of this!” It was such a nice idea that I wanted to share it with you here today.

Hand Made Mother’s Day Gifts
Mother’s Day in the U.S. is this Sunday. Wouldn’t Mom love a hand made gift? I know that my Mom would! (unfortunately due to poor time management by her daughter she won’t be getting something handmade from me… didn’t get it mailed in time *wink*). Why not try one of these handmade Mother’s Day Gifts?
So if your hankering to make something for your Mom, here are 9 ideas for you! Many of them are QUICK so you still have time to make them.
DIY Silhouette Bookmarks, a great gift for Mom!
Disclosure: I have an affiliate relationship with Silhouette. I was provided product to review to write this post. All work and opinions are 100% mine.
Today I’ve got a quick craft to share with you that I think would be perfect addition to a Mother’s Day present. These Chalkboard Silhouette Bookmarks, are made with chipboard to make them sturdy, and coated in chalkboard paint so you can customize them as you like.
DIY Pretty Ponies Necklace
The first Saturday in May is coming up this week, which around here means one thing! It’s Kentucky Derby time! In celebration I’m excited to share with you these Pony Party Favors!
The city of Louisville rolls out the red carpet once a year and welcomes the world. The entire 2 weeks leading up to the Derby is full of lots of fun local events, it’s truly the best time of the year to be in Kentucky.
DIY Kentucky Derby Fascinator
Okay, file this one under GO BIG OR GO HOME! I LOVE a cool Kentucky Derby Fascinator!
Every year at the Kentucky Derby the hats are the stars of the show, second only to the horses.
I’ve been to the Kentucky Oaks several times now and I can tell you that hat watching is one of my favorite parts of the event.
Polka Dot Bunny Cookies by Bee in our Bonnet
Hey all! I’m Ashleigh and I blog with my sister on beeinourbonnet.com! I’m honored to be a guest on Melissa’s blog today! I’ve admired her work for so long as she was one of the first blogs I ever followed! I’ve bought her patterns, followed her tutorials and drooled over her amazing projects.
I’ve been loving the polka dot project! Polka dots are a little like bacon, they make everything better.
