Owl Lunch Bag and Owly finds

I found a great tutorial on using a plastic bag as a template/pattern to create your own reusable bag.

I used Robert Kaufman's Urban Zoologie Owls in blue.  Sorry for the wrinkles, I didn't have time to iron it flat.

Fathers Day Cards and Owly Goodies

I thought I'd share some owly finds since I haven't done that in a while.

How pretty is this owl rug from Urban Outfitters?

I almost always have success finding something Owly at Forever21 so I try not to go in there too often because it's so tempting!

Like this Owl tank.

And these Owl pj's (because I can never have to many pj pants)

And this Owl necklace. (because I can never have to many owl necklaces)

And I know its WAYYYYY early to be thinking about, but I really want to make a cute Christmas Tree skirt with any of these fabrics.  They are so cute!

Food and Crafts and Owls...Oh, my!

First off, I have to share these absolutely A. MAZ. ING. cupcakes.  I looovvveee me some banana pudding.  I love cupcakes.  This recipe is HEAVEN!  I think I found this from someone's pin on pinterest....or maybe it was Oneprettything.  I can't remember.  Wherever I found it, Heather is a genious.  Here's her recipe for Banana Pudding Cupcakes.

Mine aren't as pretty as hers.  But who cares what they look like when they taste so fantastic?  The Nilla Waffer crumbles on top are the perfect finishing touch.  (and so what if I reused a birthday cake box from Publix to store them? Reduse, reuse, recycle!)

I decided to go to the annual spring craft fair after work this weekend.  Most of the stuff was geared for children and lots of stuff was either not my style or stuff that I could make myself.  A few booths were just amazing.  

There was another booth Collegiate Stop selling collegiate ornaments and figurines.  I was sooooo happy to find lots and lots of Georgia stuff! Turns out they are based in Georgia and the ornaments are made from Georgia marble.  I figured I already had a UGA ornament so I got Sam a Georgia State Ornament. 

And one of my favorite booths was a bit too pricey for me, but they had the most amazing creations.  They made branches out of copper, added flowers and a handcrafted resin bird.

Go to their site and check it out.  Simply beautiful!  Feel free to drop some $$ on this Nuthatch for me...

Owly Whatever day it is... :)

Its a completely new week in the Woods.  Not only am I working at Macy's, but I'm also a Birmingham Zoo employee!  I'm super excited and soooooo glad to be working again.  I've already started at Macy's and will start at the Zoo on Thursday!

I haven't done much in the way of crafting this week.  I made a fall wreath for the door.  I just got a grapevine wreath and Owl at Joann's and some VERY on sale fall picks and ribbon at Michaels .  The Owl is still a little wobbely since I just hot glued it; I'll probably thread some floral wire through it and attach it to the wreath. 

Hope everyone has a great week!
