First photo is what my oldest sent me that they wanted for their birthday

Next three photos are how it turned out

2025/12/17 Edited to

... Read moreCreating personalized birthday gifts is a wonderful way to show care and attention to someone special. When a child shares a specific idea for their birthday present, it opens up a world of creativity for the giver to bring that vision to life. The process often begins with understanding what the child truly wants — sometimes conveyed through pictures, descriptions, or wish lists — and then interpreting that concept with available materials and skills. While the original photo or drawing by the birthday celebrant provides crucial inspiration, the transformation into a completed gift often involves planning, crafting, and sometimes trial and error. It's important to remember that the value lies not only in the final product but in the thoughtfulness and effort invested. Seeing how the initial idea compares to the finished gift can be a joyful experience, showcasing creativity and the unique bond between giver and receiver. Such projects encourage patience, attention to detail, and can even strengthen relationships. Whether the gift is handmade or customized, sharing pictures before and after provides a transparent story of the gift’s journey. Celebrating these moments helps foster appreciation for personalized gestures and inspires others to embrace creative gift-making for their loved ones.

💄 Was it eyeliner, mascara or lipstick? 💄 Do you remember the brand? 💄 Do you still use this product in your current routine? 💄 How old were you? For me, it was definitely eyeliner on the waterline! I was obsessed with doing this in 8th grade🤭 Photo credit: @glamjazz #makeup #make

Where did we get our photo ledge?? 👀
We are *always* asked where we got our photo ledge from... Well, we made it! When I was searching around for the perfect length, the closest we found was one at Pottery Barn for upwards of $350+ and we were like... maybe not. I found a tutorial online and the whole thing cost maybe around $30
