Playhouse swing set Makeover
This post is about how we did the makeover to the kid Kraft Windale play set. On this previous post, I shared how we decorated the playhouse. On that previous post, I received messages asking questions about what kind of paint did we used, how much time did it took us to finished, etc. and it was also a huge hit over my instagram account, so that’s why I decided to finally share all the details.

The purpose of this mailbox is to place finished cards to give later on valentines day.

Easy Marshmallow Snowman for hot chocolate
I really enjoy making crafts, mostly during the holidays and even more for Christmas. With a 2 year old around me, I’m always searching for easy and fast crafts, because if you have one of those tiny persons in your life you totally agree with me that their attention span is really short. I remember that I made this easy Marshmallow Snowman for the first time almost 5 years ago for Sebastian’s school Christmas party. I needed something easy back then because I had to make around 30. This idea at pinterest really inspired me, it looked so easy, that I decided to make my own version. It was a huge…

Cake topper printable & Easy Lighted Number
We invited some friends over to celebrate Cristian´s 33 birthday, and as always I baked a special homemade cake. This year I was very busy with work and did not have time to decorate it with edible details so I designed a paper cake topper. I also did a super easy project, it pretends to be a lighted number Marquee. No one wants to buy an expensive Marquee for a birthday celebration that will only be used a few hours. So I made a disposable version with presentation board and string lights I found in the spot dollar at Target. TO MAKE THE CAKE TOPPER: 1. Download and install the font…
