Spotofteadesigns.com 2017 Reader’s Feature

Blogger

This blogging thing is one crazy thing. You may make projects for your home, yourself, your family or friends. You throw parties and find reasons to celebrate things or tell people you are thinking about them. You document it and put it out there in the world and HOPE someone finds it as inspiring/fun/educational/helpful as you do. Then you get an email, or get tagged on social media and your day is totally made.

Today is one of my favorite posts of the year as it’s a full post dedicated to YOU! Thank to to all of those who send me those emails or tag me when you create something I had originally made or designed. Check out the below Reader’s submissions for 2017!

Reader’s Submissions:

Year of Fun Dates Bridal Shower Gift - open one gift each month for their first month of marriage | spotofteadesigns.com

A few years back I shared my Year of Date Nights gift I created with a group of bridesmaids for my bestie Allie’s bridal shower. In June I shared Liz’s version that she and her godson made for his brother and his soon-to-be bride. Check out their version of the gift that keeps on giving!

While this post did not go live in 2017, I didn’t discover it until early this year. I’m so excited to see others using my free templates to create their own Under the Sea quiet book for their kids! Funny enough this one was also not an English speaking post, as was last year’s feature. Happy to see it going international!

Spotofteadesigns.com Reader's Feature - submission of Filipa Baptista's version of the Under the SEa quiet book | spotofteadesigns.com

I did get a sweet email from Filipa who shared her pages from my Under the Sea quiet book.  I love to see how people use the concepts and make it their own! Great job Filipa!

Colorful unicorn party - decorations and food ideas | spotofteadesigns.com

Laura is a previous coworker who has an even BIGGER love of spreadsheets than me! She’s a hands on crafty mom who also owns an Etsy shop where she sells adorable printables for kids. Back in July she saw my instagram post sharing this DIY lollipop stand at a unicorn party I styled and she quickly whipped up her own for her daughter’s unicorn party a few weeks later!

Snowman doughnuts created for winter birthday using free printables available at spotofteadesigns.com

Check out cute little Ellie and her snowman doughnut snacks made using my free printables!

Reader's Feature - Lottery Ticket wreath made with PA lottery tickets. Tutorial found at spotofteadesigns.com

Sandy J emailed me asking for extra details on the Lottery Ticket Wreath I had made as she planned to make it with PA lottery tickets. Look how great it turned out! Hope whoever gets it wins the big jackpot!

Readers Feature - lottery ticket cake | spotofteadesigns.com

In November I shared this new Lottery Ticket cake gift basket idea complete with a free printable tag and I was SO EXCITED to be tagged on an IG story by Kat_KeepingTabs who shared that she made her own version as a holiday gift!

Thank you again to anyone who tags me in photos or emails me saying they tried something seen on the blog! It makes my day every time!

#ad Last year was tough for so many reasons, but o #ad Last year was tough for so many reasons, but one of the bright spots for us was the first year of our backyard garden! We’d call my mom on video chat for advice, took turns watering and weeding it, and eventually enjoyed all the vegetables, herbs and flowers for months. 
.
We’re currently planning ahead for this year’s garden which involves sporting our mask whenever researching plant choices. I'm partnering with @choosenewjersey to remind you to #maskupnj and social distance yourselves when you’re not staying home.

Things are changing daily in our state, but you can keep yourself informed with the latest updates on COVID by visiting https://covid19.nj.gov and downloading the free app for info on symptoms and exposure notification.

Do you have any suggestions on easy to maintain plants for our garden?

Currently working on this year's Valentine's day m Currently working on this year's Valentine's day mantle but wanted to throw it back to the time when 37 year old me did macaroni art. 🤣
My girls were super excited to see these unicorn c My girls were super excited to see these unicorn canvas crafts we were #gifted by @horizongroupusa this weekend. Unicorns + painting + magic reveal components? Yes, please!

My art major momma heart was pumped because I got to teach them a new painting technique - wet on wet watercolor! Plus, when you wet the canvas a few designs appear that you don't see at first glance.

These are now proudly displayed in their rainbow and unicorn filled bedrooms.
