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.

DIY Polka Dot Zip Pouch
Last year Kate Spade did a line of clothing and accessories inspired by the “Art of the Dot”. I think she’s probably responsible for the recent resurgence in the popularity of polka dots, the creative genius that she is.
I was inspired by a polka dot pouch she had in her line last year. I thought it would be fun to take the idea of black polka dots mixed with pink and make a simple zip pouch. To add a little twist I decided to make my own polka dot fabric.
