House Warming Present

My sister recently just started renting her very first apartment & I threw together a cute gift basket to get her started with the next chapter of her life.  I purchased a cute basket for all the loot from Hobby Lobby that was 50% off (I love sales!)

The basket includes... Clorox Wipes, Ziploc Sandwich bags, sponges, Finish dishwasher pods, a candle on clearance at Target, a small bottle of Crown Royal, a "sisters" picture frame from Hobby Lobby & a cross from Hobby Lobby!
I found this cross at Hobby Lobby as well that I couldn't pass up.  My sister loves anything & everything glittery & sparkly! 
It never hurts to have extra sponges laying around the house! 
Command Strips come in a large variety of weight they will hold.  These below are perfect for hanging picture frames with no nails needed or damage to the walls! 
I spent maybe a total of $35 because of the Crown Royal.  
You can put your own personal touch on your basket like I did for my sister!

Remember it's not about how much money you spend on the present or what you put in the basket, it's more of the thought that counts!

Custom Painted Toms

My cousin got married on 7-6-13 & these are the custom painted Toms I surprised her with a few days before the wedding!
Their wedding colors were yellow & grey. 

The right shoe says "he stole my ♥ I stole his name"

The left shoe is a quote from 'The Notebook' just with the spelling of bird changed to Byrd (their last name) "If you're a Byrd I'm a Byrd" also, two 'love Byrds' are on the left shoe.


The sides were painted with a large glitter chevron stripe (you can't really see glitter in the picture) 
The back of the shoes have their wedding date 7-6-13 and their first initials
email me if you are interested in ordering a pair: cbkd13@gmail.com
