Chevron

I am so happy today because I ordered some new pillow covers for the pillows on my couch!  I have been using the ones that came with the couch for about a year and half now.  Needless to say they aren't the most attractive pillows in the world.  I am really liking this new chevron fabric trend, and so I ordered some new pillows in chevron!  The best part is that this particular Etsy seller gives you one free when you order three AND free shipping!  Doesn't take much to turn around a LOOOOONG day of changing diapers, no naps, timeouts, and cleaning lots of messes for me!

Here is what I ordered...three of these in RUST...I LOVE orange!  Orange is slowly making its way into every room in our house. 

This one was my freebie.  


Our family room originally had red accents (but only like 2 things).  The other colors are dark teal and tan so I thought these would go great and hopefully give the room a more chic look.  Just what the hubs would want right?  

Total Cost for 4 Pillow Covers including tax/shipping was around $42!  You couldn't even get that kind of a deal at Ross or TJ Max!  Here is where I ordered them in case you want to take a look. 

Cowboy Woody Birthday: The Decor

I planned this party for my son's 2nd birthday when I was pregnant because I knew I would have a 6 week old when his birthday came around.  I didn't want him to get the short end of the stink when his sister was born!  So, for months I kept buying, planning, crafting, and hiding it all in my console table!

Here are the details below.

Treat Table


Smore Pops



Dusty Trail Mix



I'm Two Cookies




Red Ropes







Cowboy/Cowgirl Flair




Red Velvet Cupcakes




Rootin' Tootin' Root Beer



Pizza Planet (we served pizza for lunch)


Toy Story Toys were all from my son's room!
Food/Beverage Signs were designed by yours truly.  I downloaded the free clipart Here and Here
The poms are made from tissue paper I bought at Walmart for less than a dollar a pack.  
Table cloths/Toy Story Ziplocks from Big Lots
Blue Beverage tubs from Target dollar section
Red bandanas to for rosettes and decorations from Walmart
Rosettes I made from the bandanas.  I googled "how to make rosettes" and taught myself.  SUPER easy!
Red Velvet cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting and I'm Two Cookies are from Cupcake Bliss. The owner Karolyn is really nice and always up for my "bright" ideas!
Smore Pop inspiration from Here.  These were a hit and also really easy all you need is a bag of marsmallows, chocolate chips, graham crackers, and white Whilton sticks (you get these in the cake decorating section at any craft store or Walmart).

I probably left lots out so if you have questions just leave me a comment!
