FREE EASTER & SPRING WALL ART PRINTABLES PLUS NEW PRINTABLES IN THE SHOP!

The snow has finally all melted after a couple of big dumps over the last month; the sun is out and it's warming up for spring!

Paw Patrol Recycling Birthday Party Ideas

As I mentioned in my previous post, January was very busy organizing both of our boys' birthday parties! (See the Minecraft Birthday Party)

Our youngest recently turned 4 and is really obsessed with recycling/garbage trucks and wanted that to be the theme of his birthday this year! He also loves Paw Patrol, so we merged the two and had a Paw Patrol Recycling Birthday Party! Rocky from Paw Patrol has a recycling truck and it fit in perfectly with our theme!

Minecraft Birthday Party Ideas

We're just coming out of the busiest time of year for us. December was busy creating product for my new Ellabella Designs Shop, celebrating birthdays and Christmas, then New Year's! Once January hit, it was full on organizing for our two boys' birthday parties! It certainly is a crazy time of year!

I thought I'd share the boys' birthday parties with you if you need some inspiration for birthday parties for your kids! (See the Paw Patrol Recycling Birthday Party)

FREE CHRISTMAS WALL ART DECOR PRINTABLES

I can't believe it's mid-December already! I have been very busy over the last little while working on designing Christmas printables and opening the Ellabella Designs Shop!

This year I have made some really adorable Christmas/Winter Printables with whimsical penguins & snowmen as well as dainty deer! The popular red vintage truck has also made an appearance again this year in the shop. They would make wonderful Christmas gifts, just set the printables in a frame or even print them on canvas.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! GRAND OPENING ELLABELLA DESIGNS SHOP & NAME CHANGE!

I am so excited to finally announce that I have opened the Ellabella Designs Shop on Etsy!

It has been my dream to open up Ellabella Designs again (you may remember when I had my scrapbooking studio way back in 2006-2010), but this time as a digital design studio where I love to create an abundance of digital art decor and printables for your home and life!

12 Gift Ideas for 9-year-old Tween Boys

This time of year brings about a lot of birthdays for our family in December and January! I like to do all of my shopping for the January birthdays at the same time as my Christmas shopping. So I have to shop double time for my two boys during the holiday season!

I have rounded up 12 gift ideas for my tween boy; I hope you can find some ideas for yours!
