orange crush

 

It's no secret that I love orange.  If you've read my blog, perused my Etsy favorites or been to my home it's pretty clear.  Not sure why.  Or when it started.  It's just IS.

So imagine my surprise when my dear friend Shauna from Lemon Drop Studio sent me the link to a blog called "How About Orange..." and then... it was FABULOUS! The brain child of Jessica Jones, who also clearly loves orange, the blog has something for everyone.  Shauna sent me there to checkout the lovely free downloads for my Twitter background.  But I found oh, so much more.  Jessica has a darling Etsy shop and a DIY Tutorial collection that's drool worthy.  And I mean that in the kindest way.  Above are images from three of my favorite DIY projects.  On the first page of the blog.  Seriously, I think How About Orange... may be my new time suck.  Cause I need another one.  Dont' you?

all wrapped up!

Oh how I adore sweet, simple & PRACTICAL! This photo was taken by Shauna from lemon drop studio. She posted it on her flickr page with the following explaination...

I think we have all of our holiday shopping done except for our own kiddo! This year we are wrapping in kraft paper and decorating with ribbons that we already have at home.

I was so inspired that I just returned from a whirlwind morning of shopping with two big rolls of kraft paper. Cause y'all know I've got plenty of ribbon to work through too! Cards and gift tags will all be handmade as well. Now I just need to get off the computer and get to wrapping...

Any one recognize that darling little face? Of course! That's Zuzu, courtesy of my friend, and very talented mama, at Lemon Drop Studio. All you do is send her a portrait photograph of your child (not quite as easy as it sounds actually getting this shot) and then simply choose your colors (also not quite as easy as it sounds because she has a palette of 30 fab colors...see below) and she will provide you with a custom silhouette for your framing pleasure. Can you imagine a better grandparent gift? I think not. Order now...beat the holiday rush!
