Spotofteadesigns.com 2017 Reader’s Feature

in 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 Thank to to all of those who send me those emails or tag me when you create something I had originally made or designed.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!

📍Tips for visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of 📍Tips for visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty
🗽 If visiting from NJ, you'll hit Ellis Island first then the Statue of Liberty. 
🗽 Book your tickets for the pedestal or crown weeks to months in advance! At the time of our booking they were $17 for kids and $26 for adults.
🗽 You'll go through 2 rounds of airport style security to get on the ferry and to get to the Statue of Liberty so note restricted items.
🗽 You must store all items (besides basic things like phone, wallet or water bottle) in a locker in order to climb the statue. They require an actual quarter but there's also a change machine nearby so make sure you have at least $1. 
🗽 The stairs to the pedestal or the crown are tiring! Even though it was early November it was actual hot climbing to the top and they had fans there to circulate the air.
🗽 We had lunch at the Liberty Island but watch out for all the birds outside. 
🗽 The complementary audio tours at both islands are worth it and the kids especially loved it!
🗽 Get the junior ranger packets for the kids as it gives them a focus plus a souvenir pin at the end!
