Fall Specimen Art

I fell in love with specimen art the first time I saw it on Tatertots & Jello and I decided to make my own for Fall.  I got a set of shadow boxes from Michaels, cut out some leaves on my cricut, and used foam dots to give them a bit of dimension. I love the way they turned out and I can change them out for each season.  :)

Printable Lunch Box Jokes

A few weeks ago I found some cute printable Halloween jokes online that you can put in your kids' lunch boxes.  So I printed them off for Cailyn and she absolutely LOVED them!  When Halloween was over she asked if I could make some more because apparently all her friends wanted more, too.  So of course, I obliged.  I made these ones for Thanksgiving and I will probably end up  making them for each holiday.  :)  If you want to be the coolest mom ever, just print some up and stick 'em in your kids lunches.  An easy way to bring a smile to their cute little faces.  Click HERE to download.

Navy Blue...My New Favorite Color!

This Season I have been seeing a lot of Navy blue and I am in love! It has fast become my favorite color!  Grey has always been one of my favorite colors and now I think it will have a best friend. I found this Jessica Simpson purse at TJ Maxx for $50 and I couldnt resist! I just recently bought a pair of navy blue wedges that will go great with this bag and I will have to post a picture of them later.

Christmas Candles

This was such an easy and inexpensive project (my favorite kind!).  I picked up some glass candle holders and candles at Dollar Tree, cut a few things out on vinyl using my Cricut, and voilà!  These make cute decorations or would even make great gifts for friends, neighbors, teachers, etc.

Introducing the G*Rated Girls

We wanted to start a blog where we could recommend to one another things that we had found that we liked and used, that the others might enjoy as well. So here we are....
