I just threw my girlfriend a “Cute As A Button” themed baby shower. I came up with the theme when I saw these adorable cookies. Now remember, I don’t bake, so I didn’t actually make these – it just gave me the idea. I rounded up a bunch of buttons from my personal collection and [...]

This is all going somewhere – my “Cute As A Button” themed baby shower post is coming up next. But these were the main attraction – little button-topped desserts.

I made some labels that you can put on any bag you have, or you can grab these cute kraft paper bags using your Michael’s coupon {Makes them about twenty-five cents each}. Grab this PDF, print them out on label paper, or print and glue them to the bags. Use scrap ribbon or any scrap [...]

Because she lives in Chicago, we haven’t actually “met”, but Jessica and I have talked on the phone and emailed frequently. She is the mastermind behind many of my favorite pieces of jewelry, JessLC.com, and we all love her Make Under My Life blog. Thank you Jess for the ohbaby shower! Many of you have [...]
