birthday

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! On Saturday I turned 29(!!) and LeahTackles.com turned 2!!! I am so grateful to each and every reader out there!! I still get excited whenever I gain a new subscriber or whenever I get a new comment. If you are a KwapisFamilyTackles follower then you know that our life has been turned upside down the past few months, and because of that Stephan, my sweet hubs, completely forgot my birthday! I am talking Sixteen Candles style forgot my birthday until about 11a.m on Saturday. I could have “put him in the dog house” but he felt bad enough. I will admit it didn’t feel great, and when our daughter, Hailey, was crying because she didn’t get to put together a gift or bake me a cake or get balloons…THAT was super sad, but I know that it was an honest mistake. I did receive a LOT of birthday love on social media from sweet friends, family, and followers which always is so uplifting : )

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you’re having a great week so far! Today I have a really easy DIY project for you, and there is a good chance you have all of the materials at your house already. When my husband and I got married, we received lots of glassware, and so we have no shortage of wine glasses! I decided to make a couple of fun ones and I think they’ll be so cute when my girlfriends come to visit. I kept these ones pretty basic, but now I am itching to get out some stencils, rhinstones, and glitter for my next set (if I make more complex ones I will share them:) ) These make such cute gifts for bachlorette parties, birthdays, sorority events, or for a girls night ! You could also easily change this into a kid-friendly gift by switching to regular glass cups from the dollar store. NOTE: The top picture I made using glitter nail polish and stickers!

WINE GLASS DIY:

What You’ll Need:

Wine glasses (or other glassware!)

Nail polish in colors of your choice (TIP: if you don’t want to use your expensive brands or favorites, pick up a few cheapie polishes! I have a crazy amount of nail polish, so I didn’t mind using some from my regular stash)

Clear nail polish top coat

Optional: Stickers

Step 1:

Wash and dry your glasses.

Step 2:

Paint your wine glasses however you choose. Be sure to not do very thick coats because it will cause the polish to run! It is better to go back over it with a second coat to build the color. If you are doing a complicated design, wait a little bit as each part dries. When you have the design how you like it, let it dry completely! Add stickers too if you’d like!

Step 3:

Paint over any part of the glass you painted or put stickers on with a coat of clear nail polish top coat.

Step 4:

Dry COMPLETELY, and then enjoy a nice glass of wine ; ) NOTE: Be sure to HAND WASH these glasses!
