Music Monday - Dirty Gold by Angel Haze

I see pattern…

….when listening to my 2014 playlist on Spotify!

First - to discuss the album art - A song from this album popped up first this morning when I logged into my Spotify account.  I thought the GOLD jewels were quite fitting for all the holidays that are coming up. Gold works for Thanksgiving (I know everyone has seen pumpkins actually decorated with gold jewels just like this on pinterest and in some of the blogs online). A gold themed Christmas is always a good idea. And, duh, tons of retailers and designers use gold jewels on pretty much everything for New Years Eve outfits and NYE party decorations! Aside holiday themes, I see tons of pattern designs that use jewels as their inspiration. I thought this was a beautiful pattern image to share.

Second - to discuss the music - I have very eclectic taste… With that said, the lyrics in some of the songs on this album are not the cleanest. So if you think you may be offended, maybe just enjoy the pretty gold jeweled album cover and don’t hit play… ;) THX!

XOXO,

Present Past…

Well Merry Christmas!!!

I had so many patterned gift wrapping ideas for this season and well… ya know how it goes! Oh the holidaze… Oh life…

Since I ended up not DIYing any of my gifts this Christmas, I wanted to share last years’ that, well, never made it to the blog either… Okay, next year I will get it together! ;)

As most of you know, I had my very first born November 27th of 2013.  So this time last year, from Thanksgiving to New Years, I was like, “WHAAAAA?!?” Somehow in between back to back feedings and sporadic crying fits (and when I say “crying fits,” I’m not talking about the baby- new moms cry A LOT too, ya know - haha)… Thru all that craziness, I managed to pull off some pretty cute DIYed presents if I must say!  hehe

My apologies for the poor images.  I may have had a baby literally attached to me while taking these pictures, if you know what I mean… :)

Things You’ll Need

1. Good ole brown packing paper you can get from just about anywhere.  I get mine from either Lowes or Target.

2.  Any patterned paper.  You can find holiday patterned paper at any craft store!  Or you can design something yourself like I did for this wrap job.  I printed my patterns out on cardstock so I wouldnt have to tape the shapes completely down to the brown paper. 

3.  Yarn or any ribbon.  I used red yarn for these.

4.  Mini Candy Canes

5.  And tape, duh… ;)

That’s it!  It was really easy!

PS - I originally REEEEEAAAALLLLLLLYYY REALLY wanted to get these patterns I designed printed on actual wrapping paper to wrap my gifts with…  And, well, I did, buuuuut the print job was terrible.  If you know a good place/website to get your own designs printed on wrapping paper, please comment!

Happy Holidays everyone!  LOVE!

XOXO,
