I am so thrilled to have <span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.spaceshipsandlaserbeams.com/" target="_blank">Spaceships and Laser Beams</a> <span style="font-size: small;">with us on the blog today to help us with choosing a baby shower theme.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zcmft92xCfA/UwZQUP_sK_I/AAAAAAAADXM/ZMh5Q_sfgD8/s1600/unnamed2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zcmft92xCfA/UwZQUP_sK_I/AAAAAAAADXM/ZMh5Q_sfgD8/s1600/unnamed2.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A new baby is on the way—time to plan a baby shower! How do you get started? On my blog,
Spaceships and Laser Beams, I specialize in parties for boys (and non-frilly girls!) so I see lots of parties
and I have lots of suggestions to help you plan yours.
Once you know where you want to host the party (your home, or an alternate venue like a clubhouse,
etc.), there are five main components to plan: invitations; decorations; menu; activities; and favors.
Deciding on a <b><a href="http://spaceshipsandlaserbeams.com/blog/2014/02/party-central/34-boy-baby-shower-themes" target="_blank">theme for your baby shower</a> </b>will help you
make decisions for each of those segments because it gives you focus.
</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Choosing Your Baby Shower Theme</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are tons of theme ideas, but how do you choose just one? This is what I have found to be most
helpful:
</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Decide if the focus is to be on baby (nursery rhymes, toys, welcome to the world, Disney
characters, favorite books, etc.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Or will the shower primarily honor new mama-to-be and her interests/hobbies</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Is there a favorite color or seasonal inspiration</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What mood do you want to establish; is this casual/formal or something in-between</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When you’ve decided on the theme, then the fun begins! Although you can buzz out to a local party
store, there are a lot of decorative options to be found via internet with party printables. Especially
if you are going with a unique idea, you’re more likely to find what you’re looking for online. Some
businesses print and cut everything for you, while others offer you the option of downloading and
printing for yourself. Many of those items can be used in multiple ways which allow fuel for the
imagination! Check out <a href="http://www.ten23designs.com/" target="_blank">Ten23 Design</a>, too; they have a number of decorations that would be terrific for a shower and
to keep for using later in the nursery.
Planning a baby shower is fun work, but it’s so worth it because you’re creating a memory that guests
will enjoy and mama-to-be will remember forever!
If you’d like more specific ideas or visual inspiration, be sure to check out my baby shower ideas on my
blog, Spaceships and Laser Beams.

<br />
<br />
<br />
We liked the idea of tracking Trent’s
height growth throughout the years, but since we might not be in this
house forever, we didn’t want to track it on a wall that we would have
to leave behind if we moved. <img alt=":(" class="wp-smiley colorbox-746" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif" />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we decided to make our own growth
chart ruler that can go with us wherever we go! And it fit perfectly
with our theme for his <a href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/colorful-disney-and-toy-story-inspired-nursery/" target="_blank">nursery</a>, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-12.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2468 colorbox-746" height="426" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-12.jpg" title="Ruler-12" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brett searched “growth chart ruler” on Etsy and came across a custom vinyl decal from <a class="external" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ten23designs?ga_search_query=Oversized%2BRuler%2BDecal%2Bfor%2BDIY%2BGrowth%2BChart&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5433941" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ten23Designs</a>. [you can also go to her website to order it <a class="external" href="http://ten23designs.com/item_208/Oversized-Ruler-Decal-for-DIY-Growth-Chart--Vinyl-Lettering-for-6-foot-chart--FREE-Personalization.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>] </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The decal is 6 feet tall and can be
ordered in a variety of colors. When we ordered, there were different
measurement options, so we made sure to specify that we wanted it in
inches. Personalization is free, so we specified in the comments of the
order that we wanted his name, Trent, printed too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The decal arrived in 4 separate sections.
Brett purchased a 6 ft. tall x 9 in. wide x 1 in. deep piece of wood…no
need to cut it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place the decals where you will end up
sticking them, making sure that your measurements line up. Only a half a
foot will be at the bottom, since you will end up placing the bottom of
the ruler about half a foot off the ground when you hang it on the
wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-1.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2457 colorbox-746" height="640" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-1.jpg" title="Ruler-1" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-2.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2458 colorbox-746" height="384" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-2.jpg" title="Ruler-2" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It may be easier to cut the decals into
smaller sections, so they are easier to work with. Peel off one side of
the decal backing and stick the decal onto the wood and press down
firmly,smoothing it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-3.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2459 colorbox-746" height="424" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-3.jpg" title="Ruler-3" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may also benefit from a furry DIY helper nearby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-4.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2460 colorbox-746" height="426" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-4.jpg" title="Ruler-4" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Slowly peel back the other side of the
decal backing, leaving just the decal itself. By peeling slowly, you can
catch any wrinkles before peeling too far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-5.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2461 colorbox-746" height="422" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-5.jpg" title="Ruler-5" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do this for all the sections and the name!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-6.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2462 colorbox-746" height="421" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-6.jpg" title="Ruler-6" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spray several coats of clear coat onto
the front and sides to give it that somewhat shiny, finished look. We
used Valspar Clear Sealer Gloss. Let dry between each coat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-7.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2463 colorbox-746" height="640" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-7.jpg" title="Ruler-7" width="426" /> </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-11.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2467 colorbox-746" height="640" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-11.jpg" title="Ruler-11" width="500" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Screw on a mounting hook to the back of the ruler towards the top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-8.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2464 colorbox-746" height="640" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-8.jpg" title="Ruler-8" width="506" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place two felt pads on the back of the ruler towards the bottom, so it will rest firmly against the wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-9.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2465 colorbox-746" height="424" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-9.jpg" title="Ruler-9" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hang onto the wall, making sure to line
up the measurements from the ground (the 1 on the ruler will measure 1
foot off the ground).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-10.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-2466 colorbox-746" height="640" src="http://www.thephotographerswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Ruler-10.jpg" title="Ruler-10" width="393" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, you’re ready to track your child’s height and don’t have to worry about leaving those memories behind if you move!</div>

Some of the wedding and event planners even make me feel like I am part of their team. One of these wonderful planner is Adair of <a href="http://dairingevents.com/" target="_blank">Dairing Events</a> here in Jacksonville, Florida. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Each of Adair's clients are all different and unique yet all have this special things about them... I am not quite sure how to explain it but they are like a sorority of brides and clients all kept by the special bond of being a Dairing Bride or Dairing Client. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Recently I had the pleasure to make some monogram goodies for a Dairing Client, Lauren, who was having a super sweet 16. On the <a href="http://dairingevents.blogspot.com/2013/10/preppy-glam-dairing-sweet-16.html?showComment=1382988957949#c8321936638279474052" target="_blank">Dairing Events blog</a>, Adair said, "we coined the phrase "Preppy Glam" with mixing gold glitter and sequins, with pops of pink and navy." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For the head table, I made a table top standing wooden monogram that was painted in pink and covered in glitter. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-odAbVk6IChQ/UnBbknoDTHI/AAAAAAAACro/99zDrDbtfBY/s1600/image_3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-odAbVk6IChQ/UnBbknoDTHI/AAAAAAAACro/99zDrDbtfBY/s320/image_3.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Upon entering into the main room, a large gold glitter woodn monogram hung as a backdrop behind the welcome table. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F2MtkYgWwFc/UnBbkljqV7I/AAAAAAAACrs/YjEZeheXuas/s1600/image_7.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F2MtkYgWwFc/UnBbkljqV7I/AAAAAAAACrs/YjEZeheXuas/s320/image_7.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A monogram dance floor decal sat in the middle of the dance floor area. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I think Adair and Lauren got it right when they thought up "preppy glam!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was a super sweet affair for a super sweet young lady. I am honored to have been asked to be a part it.<br /><br />Custom wooden monograms like these shown are available by custom request via our website: www.ten23designs.com</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am a mom and safety is VERY important to me. Whenever we get out of
the car, I tell my daughter to put her hand on the car just like my
mother use to tell me. <br /><br />So often my daughter will ask me, “where?” (as if we do not always do this)<br /><br />So I made her a vinyl decal hand print to put on the car and now she will know exactly where to put it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The vinyl decal is made from a removable wall decal grade vinyl that will pull off without damaging the paint when you are ready to take it off. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My husband and I have been slowly working on our workshop conversion project. Parting ways with something things I have been holding on to was a little hard at first but once I saw the potential of the workspace and how much each it made organizing the wooden monogram and custom laser cut orders it was all worth it.<br /><br />This morning we hung up peg boards and hooks to hang the wooden monograms and laser cuts. Of course I had to paint them our signature lime green. Organizing them but size, type and rush orders will really help the work flow. I am exciting about what else is to come. If you know of any other good workshop organizing ideas, feel free to share below.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09766837317161430828noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800157535498366421.post-32720547220446807962013-08-26T06:48:00.000-07:002013-08-26T06:48:38.533-07:00{Introducing} Quartrefoil Pattern Vinyl Wall Decal<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have gotten enough custom requests for <a href="http://ten23designs.com/item_289/Quartrefoil-Vinyl-Wall-Decal.htm" target="_blank">quartrefoil pattern vinyl wall decals</a> that it's time to add it to my product line and post on my website. I have seen uses such as wedding reception flower vase wraps, wall paper and lining cabinets... and I've loved them all. <br /><br />Last night, in honor of celebrating the new product to the collection, I decided to do my own <a href="http://ten23designs.com/item_289/Quartrefoil-Vinyl-Wall-Decal.htm" target="_blank">quartrefoil vinyl decal</a> project... which just happened to be on my DIY home decor project list for over a year now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've been wanting to do my kitchen back splash for quite some time now and last night, the opportunity of 20 minutes of free time presented itself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">AFTER </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KtUeFwYZ2i8/UhtbYf-VlHI/AAAAAAAACY8/reQU856zUUg/s1600/933987_10153172936890051_1652125250_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KtUeFwYZ2i8/UhtbYf-VlHI/AAAAAAAACY8/reQU856zUUg/s400/933987_10153172936890051_1652125250_n.jpg" width="400" /> </a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have always said that a small decal can make such a BIG impact on a room and here is a prime example. I just love it. I even smiled when I walked into the kitchen this morning and saw the <a href="http://ten23designs.com/item_289/Quartrefoil-Vinyl-Wall-Decal.htm" target="_blank">quartrefoil pattern vinyl wall decal</a> greeting me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To make it easy to install myself, I just used 3 pieces of the <a href="http://ten23designs.com/item_289/Quartrefoil-Vinyl-Wall-Decal.htm" target="_blank">quartrefoil pattern vinyl wall decal</a> and lined them up on the wall. That way I wasn't working with one huge, harder to manage piece.<br /><br />So what do you think?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When Eliana of <a href="http://ellybevents.com/" target="_blank">EllyB Event</a>s and <a href="http://thebloft.com/" target="_blank">The B Loft</a>
contacts me, I already know the answer is more than likely YES! Not
just, "yes" but "YES!" When I was contacted by her the last several
times for decals to use on ghost chairs, I did not even flinch... not
just because I LOVE my decals on ghost chairs, but because her vision is
amazing and her eye for detail is top of the line.<br /><br />Last year I was asked to make a few name decals in gold for ghost chairs... this was to be my first time someone requested them in gold for the ghost chairs so I was very excited to see how they were to turn out. I had no idea they would be this stunning... although with Eliana, I should not have expected anything less.</span></div>

Ten23 Designs | Business Branding offers custom logos, logo stamps (both rubber stamps and self-inking), logo decals, apparel & accessories, tumblers... and OH SO MUCH MORE!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Branding is a hot topic right now for small businesses. By putting the right amount of energy into your branding efforts, you will reap the kind of success you are aiming for. Neglecting your brand is a sure way to slow down growth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />Use these top <span style="font-size: small;"><b>5</b></span> small business branding tips to launch your successful New<br />Year!<br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1. <b><i>Get a logo and use it.</i></b> This is a critical aspect of your branding. You need to put it everywhere. It should be on everything you do online and in print. You should wear it on your clothes and on your car. Having a recognizable logo will help your business grow exponentially.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vPiKG6-SXgY/UOhmcqBcAMI/AAAAAAAAASY/XboZwwQTwpM/s1600/400289_114854958673326_1695877859_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vPiKG6-SXgY/UOhmcqBcAMI/AAAAAAAAASY/XboZwwQTwpM/s320/400289_114854958673326_1695877859_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is amazing how much business and buzz you can generate with a logo that is carefully placed everywhere you can get it.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K44fU0IS6vs/UOhmd6E4EdI/AAAAAAAAASg/xMJqQh2wM-w/s1600/485000_122914181200737_633801223_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K44fU0IS6vs/UOhmd6E4EdI/AAAAAAAAASg/xMJqQh2wM-w/s200/485000_122914181200737_633801223_n.jpg" width="190" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2. <i><b>Use your words.</b></i> Have a well-written website that gives readers information they are looking for and includes a call to action. You should also have a carefully worded, concise description of your business on your <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ten23designs" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ten23designs" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, LinkedIn, <a href="http://pinterest.com/ten23/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and other social media accounts. Include keywords about what you offer. Be sure any text you publish on behalf of your business is grammatically correct and professional. Anything less is <i>harmful</i> to your brand.<br /><br /> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 3. <b><i>Use technology to your advantage.</i></b> The great thing about starting a small business today is that no matter where you live, you can grow a small business that serves the nation and even the world from your own home. The Internet makes it easy to build your brand as you interact with customers online. Be sure that you have a reliable high speed Internet connection that lets you do what you need to do for your business. <a href="http://satelliteinformant.com/" target="_blank">High speed Internet</a> providers make that possible no matter where you live in the country.<br /><br />4. <b><i>Invest in branding goodies.</i></b> Put your logo on items like stamps, totes, banners, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=114854958673326&set=a.114854928673329.23086.114843012007854&type=1&relevant_count=1" target="_blank">business cards</a> and more in order to increase visibility and establish a professional image. Even promotional items like pens, bags and stickers are perfect for branding. The business with branded items looks much more professional and stable than a business without those things. You don’t want your potential customers to think you are a fly-by-night business.</span><br />

Being that I have an awful memory, especially with dates, I just knew I needed to make one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I bought a 5.5" x 24" board from Home Depot and spray painted it black. Next I added a vinyl decal I made with "Dates to Remember" and the months... and then took a pack of wooden circles I painted various colors and added the special dates to. I attached all of the circles with jump rings and hung from an eye hook at the bottom of the wood.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My daughter somehow learned all about <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Santa</b></span></span></span> this year without me even saying a word about the <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">jolly fella</span></b></span>. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if I was going to do the whole "Santa" thing with her... even though I <span style="color: #e06666;"><i>LOVE</i></span> Christmas time. Being that she is too young to understand about the <span style="color: #990000;"><u><b>MAGIC</b></u></span> of Santa and I do not want her to innocently spoil the fun for someone else, I feel like I have to go along with it. <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><i><b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Bitter Sweet!!!</span></b></i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">She recently mentioned wanting to write a letter to Santa. I started to plan a little "Dear Santa" play date with her and her friends to do a few crafts and create their letters (<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>which has since turned into an official Toddler Tuesday event at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jaxcoutureevents?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Jax Couture Events & Boutique</a></i></span>). <br /><br />Since she's three and I wasn't too sure if he would be able to read her "handwriting" yet so I made her a letter template that she could draw her list to him.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am still working towards my goal of being completely organized. Yesterday, I saw this <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/58124651412291176/" target="_blank">great pin on Pinterest</a> and adding to my project list to help me on my organization mission.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here is my own take on the project... with decals of course!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I took a solid black bucket, a chevron pattern decal I cut and the word MAIL, also a decal I cut. Before I go any further, let me first tell you that the most difficult part of this project was selected the font for the word MAIL. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cOo0oHYiq-M/UJ2cVJURBBI/AAAAAAAAAOU/X-Q4n2QO5U4/s1600/IMG_5941%5B1%5Da.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cOo0oHYiq-M/UJ2cVJURBBI/AAAAAAAAAOU/X-Q4n2QO5U4/s320/IMG_5941%5B1%5Da.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I added the chevron pattern decal first...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xX7eQNyHFuI/UJ2cbpQwU6I/AAAAAAAAAOc/UIKU1D2jfi0/s1600/IMG_5945%5B1%5Da.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xX7eQNyHFuI/UJ2cbpQwU6I/AAAAAAAAAOc/UIKU1D2jfi0/s320/IMG_5945%5B1%5Da.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then added the MAIL decal...</span><br />
<br />
