Let It Snow Sign from Sandb_crafts! Review


Today I will be sharing with you all a one of a kind piece from Sandb_crafts. She custom made this sign just for me and I couldn't be any more happy with how it came out. She came  up with this design all on her own and I just love it. I seriously just want to keep it out year long in my house lol.



The thing I really love about the signs that she makes if that they are all hand painted, which really says alot about the time that she puts into each piece. She makes sure that they are all perfect, and I must say that this one here is pretty perfect. I am amazed with her artistic skill and how she was able to hand paint this on her own. She has a lot of talent and that's for sure!


If you look close enough you can see all the details that she made to this sign. The Minnie Mouse is actually all glittery and her bow has glitter too! It looks beautiful and it just pops so nicely on this sign. I love how she didn't want to leave any blank space so she made snow all around the words, it really makes the sign feel whole and make it feel more finished opposed to her just leaving it blank.

Each sign that she makes is made on a beautiful piece of wood. The wood that she uses for her signs is super durable and high quality. This sign does not feel cheap at all whats so ever! I am super impressed with the quality and the design of this piece. I can assure you that I will have this forever.

I would like to thank   Sandb_crafts for being a part of my blog and sending me this piece to review. I am beyond in love with it, and I hope to work with you again in the future it has been a pleasure!


Make sure you show  Sandb_crafts some love and check out her links below:

StarSeventeenStudio- Donut String Art Review



This is probably the coolest piece of art I have yet to receive and share with you all here on my blog. This piece is from an Etsy shop called StarSeventeenStudio This shop immediately caught my eye when I was browsing my favorite place (Etsy of course). This shop owner is super talented and makes pieces of art that I have never seen anything like before. She creates these art pieces made entirely out of string. I have no idea how she even does it but I am truly blown away. I looked through her shop several times and I love how much of a variety that she has. She really has something for everyone which is really neat. When we chatted about me reviewing something for my blog. She told me she wanted to do something custom just for me which got me extremely excited. I mean honestly I would have been happy with any of the pieces that she sent to me that are posted in her shop but she went that extra mile and truly wanted to make me happy and make me something that she hasn't made for anyone else yet which is pretty freaking awesome. When she told me she wanted to make me something custom I had soooooo many ideas flowing through my brain. Then it finally came to me. I just moved in my own place this past April and my theme for my kitchen currently is donuts(don't judge). I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get a decor peice for my kitchen. You actually wouldn't believe how hard it is to find donut stuff. I left it at that. I didnt tell her anything else just that I wanted something donuts. Boy oh boy did she really blow me away....



Lets start with the packaging of my donut art. When I received this in my mail to be honest I didn't even know it was this! The package was sooo big and so heavy I really didn't expect that to be inside of it. She took her time wrapping this bad boy up pretty damn good. There was literally no way that this thang could have broke in the  mail and she made sure that was not an option lol When I opened it for the first time it did take a little bit of time because there was sooo many layers of bubble wrap lol. I was actually really impressed with how well this was packaged and wasn't expecting it to be this well protected.


When I seen this for the first time I was so impressed. My first impression was "OH MY GOD!, HOW DID SHE EVEN DO THIS???". I have yet to ask her btw lol. Anyways I was super blown away with the end result she did an over the top and beautiful job. This seriously looks like something you would pay top dollar for at a home decor shop.  I seriously love the design that she made for me too. I think it matches beautifully with my kitchen decor too! I am obsessed with this by far. I placed it on my kitchen counter and I have  received so many compliments on it so far. 

The quality of this piece is outstanding as well. I could sit her all day and tell you how beautiful it looks. But whats also is important is the quality. If your paying for something you want it to hold up. I have no doubt in my mind that this product wont hold up for me. It is made out of really thick wood thats very heavy and the nails are placed in super deep so I dont have to worry about them coming out or anything like that for sure. I am super pleased with this product and I know for a fact I'm going to have this for a long time!


I have nothing negative to say about this shop at all. I am pleased with how everything came out. The product is beautiful, and durable. The shop owner was also a pleasure to work with. She is extremley nice and I am so glad I got to work  with her.

I would like to thank StarSeventeenStudio for being a part of my blog!

DesignsByDJ1 On Etsy! Review!


I received some pretty gorgeous prints from a shop on etsy by the name of DesignsByDJ1 


The first set of prints that she sent me is a set of 2 different prints. Of course they had to be Disney :) lol. I love the prints that she sent me these are in the set that she calls Bambi and they are adorable.


This first print is a Bambi silhouette with some flower. This is a pretty plain print but I really like it. I love the color scheme for this set of prints. The silhouette itself is black with small white polka dots. I love how she made the silhouette with the dots, it adds a little girly touch to them. 

The next print in this set is a quote the matches perfectly with the Bambi print. This one says "Love you my dear". This quote pretty much speaks for itself. I love the creativity behind this print. Thee quote goes so well with the print of Bambi.

The color scheme of these are grey black and white, which is pretty perfect for any space. I plan on placing these in black frames and hanging them next to each-other in my bedroom. The possibilities are truly endless with this sett of adorable prints. I can picture these in pretty much any room, with any theme to be honest. I can also see these in any colored frame. I am truly in love with these and cant wait to hang these up in my room :)


Now this next set is a "bonus" lol. We never spoke about these, so these were a surprise to me which was exciting :) This set is Paris theme and it's adorable as well. This set has 3 prints instead of the previous set which just had the two. I love how this set is a little bigger, it gives you some more options when you decide to hang these.


This first print in the set has a baby pink background with some black accents. In the center of this print there is one big cat and on each side of the cat there are smaller cats. I love this it's super cute and really girly as well, which I also really like too lol. I love the small details on this print such as the bow in the center of the print as well.

Next in the set we have something a a little different then the two other prints. Instead of this being cartoonish like the others, this one is a real photograph of the Eiffel tower which is gorgeous. I love how she left the actual photograph to be black and white. To make this print match with the set she made sure to make the same boarder on this one as well. She even made sure to include small little details such as small cat which is on top of the boarder, and even the little bow at the bottom as well. I think having her add these small little clip art pictures was truly the perfect finishing touch.


The last print in this set is a quote. The quote on this print says "I love Paris". This last print take bits and pieces from both of the previous prints. It has the cats, and it also has an Eiffel tower as well. I love how she put pretty much both of those together and then created this last one to finish the set. I love the color scheme for this set of prints as well. This would look adorable in a little girls bedroom, or even a Paris themed bathroom.



I would say I'm highly impressed with the quality of these prints. Each print was wrapped up individually and mailed to me in an envelope. The way she packaged these up was super nice, they came to me in perfect condition.

All of these prints are printed on high quality photo paper. The paper itself is super nice and really glossy, these would look beautiful in any type of frame. The way they are printed as well, is really done nicely too. There are no flaws in any of these that she sent me.

TheBlueLionBoutique on Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!



I received some awesome fall décor from a shop on Etsy by the name of TheBlueLionBoutique


The first type of items that she sent is a set of hand  painted mason jars. I love this set that she sent me this is perfect for Halloween and Fall time. I think these would be great to decorate your home for the holidays, and they can actually be pretty handy as well. You can use these to hold pretty much anything.


The first one in the set of 3 is this bright orange one. I love this bright orange, I wish you could tell the shade by these pictures but you really can't this is something you really need to see in person to get the full effect on what these really look. All the paint used on these is matted which is pretty awesome, sense I know that is super popular right now.


The next one is probably my favorite one, its a black and orange one. This is kinda like an ombre effect. I love how these two colors pretty much fade together, and they look really nice. All these mason jars have little pieces of twin string tied across the top of them. I love how she included this. It really adds to the whole fall style, and goes pretty perfectly. It make it look very "fall-ish" and warm which I love :)


The last one in the set is just a plain black one. I like this one because black is a color that you can pretty much use year round and it goes with pretty much all decor that you have.  I have so many idea on how to use these. My first idea is placing these on my bathroom vanity, sense I don't have any fall decor in there at the moment and this will be perfect. I can use these to hold Q-tips, cotton balls and a few other little things. My other idea is using these in my kitchen and placing these on the counter and filling these with little candies, I think they will be adorable little candy dishes. I am torn on what to do lol, but i'm sure I will definitely get my use out of these.



Now the last thing I have to share with all of you, I almost fainted when I seen it inside the box lol. It's a super glittery pumpkin! and it is just gorgeous! I am in love with this, you can never have too much glitter and that's the truth for sure lol. I think this is the perfect decoration for fall. I plain on using this as my center piece in my dining room. This is going to be perfect for my Thanksgiving dinner. I am so excited to use this as decor. This is another piece you could use all during the fall.

These pieces of decor would be great gifts for anyone during the fall time, these would be perfect for someone who is going to be in a new home this fall season.

I have worked with this shop owner in the past and she is always a delight. She is super nice and friendly, I am always impressed with her products and she makes such a huge variety, it's really amazing. She is extremely talented and I highly recommend this shop, it's one my favorites by far.

AshMoonDesigns on Etsy!


I received a really cool piece from AshMoonDesigns on Etsy!



She sent me this really awesome piece, that is melted beads that make up an image or Ariel. I remember I used t do these when I was younger, and it was never anything this incredible before. I can't believe this was made by hand. This is a really cool piece. There are so many beads that make up this image its really incredible.
Retails:($6.00)

This is a picture of the back so you can see what the image really looks like. It's pretty amazing isn't it? I love how this Ariel that she made isn't your typical Mermaid, she made it in the image of her in a dress, which is my favorite scene in the whole movie. There really isn't much of anything that I can say that is bad about this product, the only thing that really comes to my mind, is that I wish this was attached to magnet, or a piece of string to hang it. I was looking in her shop that is  an option when you order these so make sure you do that. Anyways it's a really simple fix, and I will be adding a magnet to this so I can place this on my refrigerator.


She makes several different types of these, any character you can think of I'm sure she has listed in her shop. She even makes custom ones which is really awesome. Make sure you check her shop out here:

I received a very cute item from a shop on etsy by the name of BurlapGirl

Retails:($16.00)

She sent me this adorable little banner. I love this so much! It's the perfect decor piece for fall time. It says "Boo" which is adorable. She made this on a burlap material which I really like. It gives it a very shabby chic feel to it. I love how simple this really is. There is a lot of details in the piece which I like as well. For example on each end of this banner there are black and orange ribbons which really add the perfect touch to this decoration.

I love how this a Halloween decoration piece but could also be used for fall decoration as well.This would be the perfect piece to spice up any room for fall time. I'm not even going to lie as soon as I got this in the mail I put it right up in my living room, and it looks perfect. I've received so many compliments on it already.

ScrapPantry on Zibbet!

Original spring
I received a bunch of different products from a shop on Zibbet by the name of ScrapPantry


The very first thing she included for me to review is a scrapbook. It's Disney themed of course, so I automatically love it. There was so much time put into making this book. There isn't very many pages but there is lots of details on each one. I cant even imagine how long this took her to make.
Retails:($25.99)


When you first open it this is what you see. On the left page these is a house that looks just like the one from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney Junior. There is a sticker on the top on the page that says what an adventure. The bottom of this page there is Mickey themed ribbon she used for a boarder which is really creative.

The page on the right has a big Mickey mouse and pocket with Several small tags with ribbons. I'm still not entirely sure what these are for but in my opinion this would be a cool way to keep the signatures from different Disney characters at the park. You would just have to bring the small tags with you to the park and have them sign those instead. A pretty cool way to keep those in my opinion.

These two are the last two pages in the book.
On the left page it has lots of Mickey balloons that actually have ribbons at the end of each one, which is pretty creative. This would be a good place to include small pictures, or have each person of the family write something about their Disney vacation.

The right side of he page is a big pocket, inside the pocket again there are several of these tags again. So you wouldn't have to worry about running out of those and that's for sure. This pocket on this page is a lot bigger then the other one, so this  would be a good place to keep your favorite Disney pictures from your vacation.

These books are pretty awesome and you can do a lot with them which is really cool. I'm pretty blown away by the amount of time and effort she put into making these. You can rally personalize these to whatever you are looking for in a book, she has many options you can choose from when purchasing your very own book.


Next she included a super awesome Disney countdown, which is going to get a lot of use out if from me sense I go to Disney so much and I'm always counting the days until I get to go back :)

Retails:($9.99)

I forgot to included a picture of the chains used to do the countdown so I had to take a picture from out of her shop. She includes pieces of paper with cut outs of Mickey, you are able to make a paper chain and each day to take a link off until the trip of your vacation! This is a really cool idea especially if you have kids in the house, they would get a kick out of this and find it really fun!

Gallery hero 3582279 original


She included a few of the bookmarks she makes. These are adorable, the coolest part about these is that these are actual recycled from old books. The images are from books and she cuts them out and turns them into the bookmarks, pretty cool is you ask me. She included some really cute ones. She makes these in a few different sizes and she also makes them in different styles like Disney, Dr Seuss, Bubble Guppies and a few others.
Retails:($2.00)

These are candy holders, she sent me are a pretty good variety of these. These are super well made and would be great for a few different things. I know for sure I will be using the Halloween ones soon for the kids that I babysit and putting small treats inside. She even went the extra mile with these and put candy in one of the boxes, which I found super sweet :)
Retails:($2.49)


These are adorable cupcake toppers. She included the set that is Disney themed. These are great, I can picture these at a birthday party and they would be perfect. They are pretty simple, which is good.  All they are, are small images attached to a toothpick which is used to stick into a cupcake. There are a lot of different options for these as well.

Retails:($9.99)

As you can see this shop is filled with a huge variety of different items, and there all pretty great. I really suggest checking it out and finding something for yourself :)
