500 Days of Summer


I used to have a huge crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt from his Third Rock from the Sun days.


Mike and I watched this fun and quirky film over the weekend. I highly recommend if you haven't already seen it. And the soundtrack is fantastic. Visit the official soundtrack website to hear a sampling of the music.

Little Green Notebook Makeover


Oh my goodness!! You must check out the truly amazing bedroom makeover by Jenny from Little Green Notebook. She never ceases to amaze me with her fabulous taste and endless creativity.

How to Make Pocket Wrapping Paper

This is a unique way to create a little pocket for cards when you wrap flat packages. Start by cutting your wrapping paper (or tissue paper, in this case) to the correct length. Now, make sure to include extra width in your paper because you will be folding it to create the pocket fold.

Grasp the paper in the middle of the wrapping paper to create an overlapping fold.

Line the overlapping flap of paper so it creates a straight line horizontally.

Now press it down so it creates a nice crease.

Wrap the package as you normally would.

Flip over and now you have a cute little "pocket" to tuck a card inside.

Wait, we're not done! Add some pretty ribbon. Wrap around the package once and tie in the middle. Make a "V" cut in the ribbon by folding it in half and cutting on a diagonal line with the open edge of the ribbon creating the points.

See how it creates a nice, even "V" shape? Love that!

Finished and ready to send!
