My June Whimseybox ~ Unwrapped

Hi lovelies!  You may (or may not!) have heard of the awesome company, Whimseybox.  It's a community for makers.  It's a one stop shop for the best in DIY and crafts.  It's a place to be inspired and buy the supplies for your next project.  Aaaand it's the original DIY craft monthly subscription box (and only $15/month!).  Whimseybox is located in Boulder, CO, so I've been fortunate to have met the team a few times and they are even more amazing than you could imagine!  

What I love especially about Whimseybox is that you learn a new craft skill every month.  Seriously.  This month it was all about gold leafing (I threw in some silver too, to make it my own!), previous month's projects have included wool felting, paper flower-making, calligraphy, air-dry clay, cement, hand sewing, macrame, and making your own hand scrub and lotion, just to name a few!  {More after the jump!}

My June Glossybox ~ Unwrapped

Hi lovelies!  June's Glossybox was one of my faves!  Not only did it come in the most adorable, patriotic box, but it was also called the Stars & Stripes Edition - so cute!  If you're still not familiar, sign up for GlossyBox here, and get some amazing goodies delivered to your door for only $21 every month too! They promise 5-6 luxury deluxe sized samples, with a total box value of at least twice of its cost! {Click to see what I got!}

Decorate Your Locker with LLZ by Locker Lookz #LLZGirlz

Hi lovelies!  It seems like summer just started, doesn't it?  Well what if I told you my kids go back to school in a month?  Okay, 5 weeks.  But still.  Where did my summer go?  And, I want it back!  So now it's time to start back to school shopping.  The hardest part is shopping for my 8th grade daughter's locker.  She likes certain colors but hates others, she doesn't like things too girly, but still wants a fun locker.  Last year's was a hodge podge of found items, with no common theme.  And she had a blast peeling off those stickers that promise to come off easily but really don't.

When I was asked to review the LLZ by Locker Lookz line of high quality, high fashion locker decorations, I was really hopeful.  And when they arrived, I was so stoked because they were so much better than I expected!  Everything is magnetic!  There's no adhesives or anything, and the magnets are super strong.  The 'wallpaper' is standard sized (but with a grid on the back for easy cutting to size), with perforations around the hooks for the back piece and around the lock mechanisms for the door piece.  You simply hang them up with the little round magnets you can see in the pics.  So awesome!  {Click to keep reading!}

DIY ~ Silver Leafed Flamingo Fauxidermy

Hi lovelies!  This may be one of my fave DIYs, like ever.  I have these plastic flamingos on my patio that I've had for years and the poor guys have certainly seen better days; they're sun-faded and a little sad looking.  So I decided to spruce one up a bit, and bring him inside where he can shine and be the center of attention!  This project took an afternoon, and was really simple to do.  {Click for the how-to!}
