Disney Mickey and Minnie Gift Ideas

Disney Mickey and Minnie products are loved by young and old because they bring out the kid in us and also create a happy memory. Whenever I see a Mickey and Minnie or other mouse products I always think of the time I went to Disney World with my family and I remember wearing mouse ears, a mouse pattern t-shirt, and those cute mouse pattern sneakers. For me, a Disney gift is as American as apple pie and it is a gift that guarantees a smile.

Pillows are a great way to decorate and they also make a wonderful back, neck, and head support.

Winter Trees Camouflage Legging Outfit

If you are a fan of camouflage clothing then you will love this Winter tree pattern legging outfit. I designed the pattern used on print all over legging and coordinating hoodie from one of my original photographs. The photo used was captured while I was hiking in the Ozark Mountains on a late fall day.

Decorating with Table Runners

Table runners are not limited to the dining room, I say use them in the living room, foyer, or bedroom. The runner with a cheerful, seasonal, or colorful pattern will add interest to your space.

Here is a photo of a table runner that I bought for end-of-summer / fall home decor.  The runner features a pumpkin and sunflower design and it really looks nice. 

View the pumpkin and sunflower table runner here 

I also like to use table runners at the coffee station.  I will drape the table runner across the front of the station with the coffee pot in the back.  The runner keeps the coffee station not only cleaner but also adds color and interest.  See photo below 

A table runner was used on Christmas themed coffee table.

I have decorated my home and my customer's home by using table runners on a variety of tables and cabinets. Sometimes I will gather it up to add soft folds in the fabric then set a floral centerpiece in the center. I may open up the fold in the table runner to add more interest or I will decorate around the folds with books, figurines, or other collectibles.

Another way to decorate your space with table runners is to use them to accent your coffee table. Choose a cheerful pattern that has colors that compliment your room theme. Set the runner in the center of your coffee table then make your table interesting by adding home accessories. Add candles a jigsaw puzzle, magazines, silk floral arraignments, or a holiday decoration such as a cornucopia for Thanksgiving.

When it comes to decorating a space I would recommend that you be creative. Try new things, if you like the way the runner looks on your table then keep the display. If you do not like it, then do something different. It’s your space, do what makes you happy.

Zazzle Toddler Girl Sunflower Shirt Review

For the last year, I have been designed baby and toddler clothing at Zazzle.com. I really like the styles and the fabric but was not sure of the sizes. So I asked a friend of mine if I could send her one of my baby fashion tees to determine the size and to learn more about the product.

She agreed to help me. Her daughter wore a size 2T perfectly in other brands. When it came to the sizes at zazzle.com the 2T was a size too big. Even when the shirt was laundered the shrinkage was minimum.

Since the size was too big I asked my friend if she would like to try the 24 months size. At first, she thought it would be too small, then agreed because it was the best way to find out how the toddler t-shirts fit.

The size 24 months t-shirt fit her toddler girl perfectly. This tells me that the t-shirts for toddlers run big and if you want a perfect fit that you should size down when buying.

Here are some photos of the sunflower shirt, this is a size 24 months. The shirt is not too tight if fits this toddler perfectly.

Even after a long day at the park, the tee is not wrinkled

Know that the sunflower tee was laundered in the delicate cycle, then put in the dryer under air-dry followed by hanging to completely dry. The color in the print did not fade, in fact, I was told that it laundered beautifully and that it looked new.

This sunflower toddler tee allows you to add your child’s name. My friend's daughter loves that her name is on her shirt and she also likes red ladybugs.

Fashion Baby Girl Valentine's Day Outfit

When it comes to dressing baby girl for Valentine's Day some mommies will dress their darling girl in frilly dresses and bows. These babies look adorable, but those frilly dresses, lace, and bows will not due when it comes to my niece. She desires her baby to have a big girl fashion look on Valentine's Day and from what I gathered is that she prefers a look that is fashion like mommy.

Today I went to my print on demand shop at Zazzle and designed a red raglan sleeve white top that features a triple floating heart and the words “I love mommy” This baby girl top can be worn with red leggings, a skirt or denim jeans. Plus the top can be worn beyond the holiday.  This top is also available in the adult size so mommy and baby girl can have matching T-shirts.
