Paper fan garland diy 4/29/2013, 16:49

I’ve always purchased Paper Fan Garlands from the party store (in fact, I always keep a few stored in my party closet!) But, sometimes it’s hard to find these pretty decorations in the specific colors of a party I’m throwing. So, I’ve found that it’s handy to know how...

Here is the DIY from the floral garland and banner we made for my housewarming party. It was really fun project to make and has such a big impact for guests walking up to your door. Sometimes in the past I’ve made my own garland (instead of ordering it pre-made) but I’ve learned that...

Our housewarming party + contest 4/25/2013, 19:25

This post is sponsored by Glad. Glad asked me to put together a One-Bag Party, which means all of the waste only goes in one bag. I love this concept. Visit Facebook.com/Glad for more details! We moved in almost a year ago but a lot of our friends hadn’t seen our apartment yet so last...

Floating art frame diy 4/24/2013, 17:44

I had several people ask me about framing after we posted pictures of our apartment so I thought I would share this little framing trick that Paul taught me. It works best with artwork that is on paper like from a sketchbook because it shows off the texture of the paper by “floating”...

Party lantern garland diy + free printable 4/23/2013, 17:07

I was in New York last month and saw some really cute fabric lanterns but they were over $100. I started to think about if we could make one ourselves out of paper for party decor. After trying a few different prototypes we came up with this little version below. The best part? The materials [...]...

Letterpress craft night 4/18/2013

I’m happy to announce a new letterpress craft night on April 25th! I decided to try something different for this month. My kids go to a really great (yet underfunded) community preschool. I have been wanting to do some sort of fundraiser for them and decided it would be fun to host a craft...

Soap box party for parenting 4/18/2013

A few months ago Parenting Magazine contacted me about doing a party story for them. I didn’t think the timing was going to be right but I mentioned I had already planned a Soapbox Derby Party for Moses’ 5th birthday and they thought it was perfect for the magazine. I have to give...

Clip-on picnic utensils 4/16/2013

Picnic season is upon us! Here is a clever little packaging trick when you are hosting an event outdoors. Just glue a small clothespin to a wooden fork (or any utensil) and clip it to your picnic lunch. It is cute and functional. (How awesome would it be to pair these with a DIY S’Mores Kit...

Cat party 4/12/2013

Last fall I decided to try an experiment to bring in more people to work on projects for Oh Happy Day with me. I was hoping that if I combined the skills of different people (photographers, graphic designers, crafters, stylists) we would get results that were much higher quality than if I did them...

Mini balloon placecards 4/10/2013

This is a little idea perfect little idea Alison came up with. Mini Balloon placecard holders are so cute it is almost too much (like balloons couldn’t get any cuter, they had to make mini balloons!) Because they’re smaller, 5″ balloons don’t stay inflated as long as bigger...

Number shaped envelope surprise 4/9/2013

I love surprising people on their birthdays with special notes written by their friends and family. With email it is so easy to do a project like this last minute. You just ask everyone to email a note or memory and photos. Then you put them in envelopes and surprise the person. I’ve done a...
