Photo Family Tree

No Dime Design created this amazing photo family tree after seeing something that inspired her at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It is made with paper and toilet paper rolls! Totally cool way to hang the frames of your family pictures for just a few pennies.

This mustache sipper is an awesome idea for a party or just a silly family dinner! My kids would freak out with excitement if I did this! See it at It's Toile Good!

Painting some trees on a wall can make a huge difference! Don't you love this wall at Girl In Air. This is going to be an awesome bedroom makeover when it is all finished!

Make conversation hearts into rings with While He Was Napping. What a great short-term jewelry accessory!

The thing I love about this shirt is that it is interchangeable. Make It Do or Do Without sewed on snaps so she can take off the holiday message and interchange it for a new holiday! Brilliant!!!
