Friday faves 16

This short week was perfect. It's too bad that next week will seem so long in comparison. Well at least we have the weekend to help ease back into the work week. And it's the first day of June! This also means the start of hurricane season... so fun.

This little girl's circle skirt is so easy to make and it's reversible too. It's like getting two skirts for the work of one.

I found this awesome tutorial on how to recreate the SNL promo pics they use as bumpers for the show. It would be great to create one to use as an invite.

The ladies over at A Beautiful Mess do so much that I've often wondered how they really do it. This week they shared some time management skills, it's so useful for everyone.

As my Paris trip inches nearer, I'm really thinking about what to pack, but trying to avoid overpacking too. This week Alison put together this list of what to pack for vacation and it's exactly what I needed.

Finally, this travel notebook is so cute. I'm gonna have to make one for my trip, so I can remember all the little things I do and see on my vacation.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm off to celebrate Pop's birthday tonight. He's the first of my many June birthdays. Happy Birthday Pop!! I'll have some birthday pics to post this weekend.
