Holiday Gift Guide- Holiday Pillows {Chapman Place}

Who doesn't like a good pillow? I am in LOVE with these pillows from Chapman Place! Jessica has an adorable blog with lots of fun tutorials and geat decorating ideas. I honestly wish she was my own personal decorating assistant!

Jessica has an amazing sense of design and style. I love the fonts and colors she uses! The HOHOHO is my very favorite. I'm a sucker for a set of three somethings :)
Let it Snow!
NOELPeace on EarthLet it Snow... again. In a set of 3!!
And Mrs. Chapman's personal favorite... Poinsettia!
The cute poinsettia is made out of felt. Wanna make your own?! Go HERE for the tutorial from Centsational Girl.

These pillows are very reasonably prices and you can find all of them at Chapman Place on ETSY! Wanna make your own? Her stencils are also available HERE! I love that she uses drop cloth material for all her stenciled pillows. What a great idea!

Thanks for participating Jessica!

Holiday Gift Guide- Jewelry Party! {Chunky Bling}

I'm so excited to be hosting a Chunky Bling Jewelry Party! I am a huge fan of their beaded watches!

See me loving mine? They are all interchangeable, so you can get one watch face with lots of color options on the wristbands or even get lots of varieties of both. They also have necklaces, rings and Mother's Birthstone Bracelets- which would make a great gift (or get it for yourself!) You can go HERE for the Chunky Bling Party and make sure you use code KIRSTI15 at checkout for 15% off your entire purchase! These really make an affordable and awesome gift that your mom, sister, cousin, grandma, best friend, girlfriend (or wife) would love (hint, hint to all my man readers! :) hehe)

I seriously love my Chunky Bling watch! I get so many compliments when I wear it and one day a little girl said to me, "I like your clock!" Here's to having a cute clock on your arm!! :)

Thanks Melisssa! These would make a wonderful Christmas present for the special baby (or mommy-to-be) in your life!!

Holiday Gift Guide- Do it Yourself Menu Board {Lolly Jane}

Hi Kirsti Koo readers! We're happy to be here with the fabulous host, Kirsti. She's such a fun girl!

We are twin sisters Kelli & Kristi from Lolly Jane and our little corner of blogland is filled with home improvement tips, craft tutorials, holiday decor, recipes and a good furniture revamp or two. We love how small touches of decor can customize a space and instantly make it yours.


Today we'll be showing you how to make an easy framed dry-erase menu board.

We both have the problem of answering, “Ummm… what sounds good?” when our husbands come home from work and ask what’s for dinner so now we can let them know without having to ask AND it’s a great outline for weekly grocery shopping ;) We know most of our sisters & friends share this same problem so this is an easy solution and an inexpensive gift to give.

To get started you need just a few things:
12x12 picture frame
12x12 scrapbook paper
Vinyl lettering {available here}
Dry-erase marker

Simply apply the vinyl lettering onto the glass, slide the paper in and write your menu for the week:

Want to give as a gift?
Just add a big red bow with a dry-erase marker tied in:

It's fun how different paper can change the whole look.

If you'd like to purchase the vinyl only, we're having a sale for Kirsti Koo readers. Our usual price of $18 is on sale for $12, free shipping.

[Just email lollyjane@gmail.com with how many you'd like. Black vinyl only, 12x12 size. No customizing, sorry]

We'd ♥ to catch up with you on FB, Pinterest or Twitter (:
XOXO
