Oh the places you'll go...

I LOVE that Dr. Seuss book, one of my favorites :) And I LOVED this super easy pinterest project that I made my hubby for an anniversary gift. We don't usually buy each other gifts, instead we spend money on a weekend getaway together, but sometimes we make little things for each other. I had pinned this craft a while back, and it took less than an hour to complete.


I bought a few maps from Barnes and Noble, a heart punch, some scrapbook paper and a cheap from from Michaels, and got to work down in the laundry (where my crafting wouldn't be discovered :P)... I punched out the most memorable places we've been together, where we met, where we honeymooned, and other fun places, stuck them to the scrapbook paper in a grid using double-sided tape, and put it in the frame.

That easy!!! I have a few extra pieces of the same scrapbook paper, and since we hung it as part of the gallery wall in our office, I'm going to use the paper to mat a few other items I want to frame, for a more cohesive look. Pics to come, when it's done :)

Housewarming...

Lately we've been shopping for housewarming gifts quite a bit, since several close friends (and family) have moved house, and I wanted to share a few of the gift ideas we've come up with, in case you are looking for housewarming gifts too... Or maybe you just want a little something for your house :)

Love this vintage inspired kitchen towel, apron and potholder from Sur La Table

A wreath ~ lavender is my favorite, but there are tons of options online - this one's from Williams Sonoma

Chip and Dip plate from Crate and Barrel

 Mrs. Meyers Clean Day gift set - these earth friendly products are like aromatherapy - other than lavender, they have Lemon Verbena, Basil, Geranium, Honeysuckle and Rosemary. And they have cute jar candles in each frangrance as well.

 

These Mrs. Fields cookie gift boxes make a cute housewarming treat - the one that looks like a door has free customization for the name.
