Simple Mother’s Day Brunch invitations using paper napkins instead of expensive scrapbook or specialty papers.

April 29, 2013 5 Comments

I sent out the invitations to our annual Mother’s Day Brunch over the weekend.  They were super simple to make, and I used paper napkins to make them.  These easy DIY invitations took less than 10 minutes to make. Please excuse the iPhone photos.  This was such a quick and easy project that I didn’t even […]

Make ahead, stuffed French Toast

May 22, 2012 12 Comments

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch recipes is for Stuffed French Toast with Pears and Cream Cheese.  I serve it every Mother’s Day and have made it for Christmas morning on several occasions. It is delicious, but what I like best about it is that you can put it all together the night before and simply […]

Mother’s Day: The food, the family, and the funny.

May 16, 2012 9 Comments

Our annual Mother’s Day Brunch was a bit smaller than usual, but it was still filled with love, laughter and some really good food.  I know some people think it’s a bit unusual that I (a mom) want to have hostessing/cooking duties on Mother’s Day, but I enjoy it. Me and my beautiful mom.  Love […]

Just the other day I wrote about how I needed to come up with a centerpiece for our annual Mother’s Day Brunch.  I didn’t have a lot of time, and I never want to spend a lot of money, so here’s what I came up with… This book page chandelier and the photos of this […]

Typographic DIY art work for Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so when Plaid Crafts sent me a whole box of Martha Stewart Craft Supplies and asked me to create a Mother’s Day project, I jumped at the chance. I decided to make some Mom-inspired, typographic subway art. (This post contains affiliate links) Supplies needed: a 1/4″ plywood board. […]

Mother’s Day Wrap-up. No pictures of people, but pictures of Pom-Poms. Duh.

I just washed and put away the last champagne flute from our annual Mother’s Day Brunch. This is the 5th one we’ve hosted, and each time it gets a little easier to put together. I change the theme and/or color scheme each year.  I was going to do this turquoise and apple green, with pops […]

Mother’s Day Brunch Inspiration: birds, butterflies and booze. Ahhh. (decor ideas)

May 12, 2010 23 Comments

Why do I host a Mother’s Day Brunch? I’m a mom… shouldn’t I be the attendee and not the host…? Why play hostess? Because I get to do crafty things that are purely unnecessary… but they bring me joy. Crafty Joy is my Mother’s Day gift to me. Each year I have a different color […]
