Cheap & Cheerful New Years Gifts | Liquid Gold Obsession

Incase you missed my Instagram a few weeks ago – Liquid Gold Gilding is my newest obsession! Here's where to get it:

Martha Stewart - Gold Liquid Gilding

So I decided to use it to make a New Years Gift for my mom, sisters, & some friends. I used painters tape on dollar store vases then went liquid gold crazy! I put empty little piece of paper inside and I made a little strip to go along with it that said:

"Here is a place to record all of the happy, fun, & exciting times through out the year –

 then read them on New Years Eve to remind you of the great year you have had!

Happy New Year 2014 – Love The Brugmans!"

It was cheap & cheerful – but will bring a new tradition that we look forward to starting!

You Are My Sunshine | Evie Print

Here is a print I designed for my sweet little niece Evie's room. It is now available for digital download in my etsy shop! You can now purchase the actual print (nicely profesisonal printed & shipped to you) in my Society6 shop!!

(This not evie's room - Just a mock-up to show how great it could look in your house!)

Deer Valley & Head-Wraps

We had such a great time at Deer Valley at my families condo over New Years. Thanks to my talented sis Nicole for taking these pictures for us!!

This was today... Nothing cuter than a naked babe

To say the least, I am obsessed with Millie in a head-wrap! She is just the cutest. These adorable wraps are from Boucle D'or Bow:

                            

 

1st day of School - Am I really doing this?!

Let's just say that I am a crazy person. Today was my first day of school....again.
What am I thinking? I just need to finish! With Millie as a surprise, I had to take a semester off - but with the help of my family, I'm going back to finish the Graphic Design program.
This will be interesting...

No babies were hurt in the taking of this picture. Also, Millie didn't actually come with me - just a funny.

On another note - How cute is little Mill in another Little Winter shop head-wrap? I need one for myself!

First Brugman Family Christmas Card & Infographic

I was so excited to find a great cyber-monday deal on holiday cards so that I could get them real gold foil pressed. I am absolutely obsessed with gold foil!
I also had a blast designing an infographic update to go along with our Christmas card. Check them out:

Millie Babe is 4 Months Old!

I cannot believe that our little Millie is 4 months old! Time has flown too quickly... she's starting to feel like there is something there when you hold her instead of just empty blankets.
She loves to play on her play-mat and loves her theme song - "Thoroughly Modern Millie."
I love her new head-wrap from Little Winter shop:
