Creating Crafts and Home Decor
Today I want to go back in time to share some pictures of Uncommon’s very first event! We held a Halloween “Boo” tique sale two years ago and it marked the beginning of our incredible journey selling handmade goods and the launch of our blog. It was an evening full of good food, good friends, and good shopping! The perfect trio! In the kitchen, we set a fabulous table that
My sweet Ann turned seven over the Summer and she wanted to invite everyone child she had ever met twenty of her girlfriends over for a pool party and karaoke.

The best part is that you can use your fabric scraps and really snazz up a store-bought cake. Those are a huge plus for me and
We All Scream For Ice Cream! Last Sunday I hosted the Back-to-School Ice Cream Social for our neighborhood and it was such a blast!

This is the first post in our new series, Uncommon Events. Every Thursday we will feature one of my passions, party design! I am so excited to showcase a fabulous party that I styled with a good friend of mine this past weekend.

I don’t know about you guys, but Easter is not complete without Peeps in our house! This year I made these adorable DIY Bunny Peep Straws… I saw the cutest picture of Peeps threaded on a straw somewhere in blogland last month and wanted to incorporate that idea for Easter. I can’t find the post right now for the life of me, but I am
Today I want to share these sweet DIY Carrot Napkins with you… With the weather getting warmer, the green grass peeping through, and the trees blooming, I definitely have Easter on my mind! My Dad passed very unexpectedly last month and this will be our first big family get together without him. I wanted to change things up a bit and this year we will
