I made "Gingerbread Man" earrings from salt dough and the kids loved them!


Our turkey back home:

Inspiration: Black & White Wedding

Black & White is a wonderful color combination that makes every wedding look extremely elegant, even on a small budget and with very little effort.

The coordination of black and white items is less time-consuming and nerve-wrecking than browsing hundreds of color options, trying to find the perfect match.

A black and white wedding theme is classic and timeless and matches every season and style.
