Amen it’s Friday!! It’s been a long week here, and I’m really looking forward to the weekend:) Today, I’ve got a super simple, quickie project for ya. I spelled James’ name in flashcards and hung them in his bathroom with the cutest teeny tiny clothespins.
I found the flashcards at Anthropologie, but they also sell them on Amazon for about $11.
Each flashcard is really cute with a letter, word and picture.
And here are the mini clothespins I got at WalMart. (Oh, p.s. those are my new (real) shellacked nails! Thanks for the recommendation guys– I love them! It’s been almost 2 weeks!)
I used a foam adhesive to stick on the back of the clothespin.
We always hear that it’s important to take a multivitamin each day, but I wonder how many of us are actually doing that. I admit to continually falling off of…
With Thanksgiving drawing near, I’ve been thinking about gathering around the table and enjoying my family and all the homemade food and dessert that Thanksgiving brings. This year, we’re still…

How’s your week going friends?  I’m just over here counting down the days ’til the 2017 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale like a kid at Christmas!  It’s so close, opening this Thursday for cardholders.  ??I got a friendly letter in the mail letting me know they upped my limit just in time for the sale- #thankyouverymuch!  We’ll keep this little detail to ourselves and not bother the hubby with that tidbit of info!  😉  Are you excited?!?! Of course, I’ll be sharing my picks on Thursday and then a big ‘ole dressing room round up on Friday with fit tips and recommendations. Let me know what you have questions about and I’ll do my best investigative journalism for ya!
This swingy striped! cold shoulder dress is perfect for daytime or evenings out. Â Love the simplicity of it and the drapey fabric. Â Such a steal at right under $50! Â For a daytime look, you could wear it with the #10 sandals (they have lots of colors) & for evening, these black open toe heeled sandals would be great.
Show off your summer mani with this gorgeous, chic statement ring! I like to wear it on my first or middle finger on my right hand with a bold bracelet.
I’m sure you’ve heard me rave about this maxi dress before. Â Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments and it’s really flattering and comfortable. Â It’s on sale under $40! Â I wear XS.
High waist leggings will be your BFF, I swear! Â They keep you all nice and tucked in and make you feel great while working out. Â Zella quality is always superb, and this pair comes in three colors with criss-cross detail at the calf. Â They run TTS, I wear size XS.
Although I normally wear a tank to workout, this Zella tee is my go-to when I want a t-shirt. Â The seams in the shirt are perfectly placed to help the illusion of a smaller waist and I like the cut of the sleeves that don’t irritate me when I’m working out.
My go-to tank, $11!!! Â I think I need to stock up on the other colors. Â It’s perfect for wearing alone or layering under cardigans or other tops. Â It fits TTS, XS here.
I have the older version of these sandals and they are really good! They come in tons of colors and the “beige leather” has a snakeskin pattern that goes with everything. Â Sam Edelman makes quality shoes that last, so I highly recommend them!

Love this! Off to Amazon to order some flashcards! Have a good weekend!
After reading it on your site, I tried it too. I purchased the light from Amazon and the CND Shellac Polish from Premier Nail Source (Amazon had many different vendors for each CND color so you'd pay multiple shipping fees; I ordered from Premier Nail Source and got free shipping for a $100 order.). Love it! I purchased the removal wraps and they were fantastic (I did one hand at a time.) In addition, one Amazon reviewer mentioned that you can use the Shellac base coat and then the top coat (curing both as required) and then put your favorite polish OVER it. I did the CND Shellac base coat, one coat of CND Shellac pink translucent color, one coat CND Shellac top coat (all cured and done with the rubbing alcohol), then put on Zoya Miley (lavender)over that with a Seche Vite top coat. After a day or so, I decided to change the Zoya color and used non-acetone remover and removed the Zoya color and viola, I was back to the Shellac nails, just as perfect as if I had never put the Zoya color over it. Truly a game changer! Sorry for my excitement but this was the first time I did this and I am excited!
I hadn't planned on putting the Zoya color over it but when I ordered my Shellac colors, the Clearly Pink color, which was supposed to be the same color as the bottle, was not a light pink but a translucent color that was clear with a slight pink tint-so slight you'd swear it was clear, lol. So I had to improvise and add the Zoya. Now I need to purchase some more Shellac colors!
Great idea! We have similar alph cards and I used tac (something like putty) to create an art wall out of them – in the playroom. Have a great weekend!
OOOh thats super cute! Ive actually tried something similar, the only bummer is my sons name has two e's…Jeremy So I need to buy two of the sets of letters, or use a 3 for one of the e's… Also, my son was almost a James! 🙂 -Jordan
I know I already posted, but just wanted to let you know I am featuring this project on my [so cheap, so easy] series tomorrow. I will link back to your original post. I ordered the flash cards, and I love them–even though I have nowhere to hang them!

Happy crafting!
