My Favorite Free Christmas Fonts AND a link party!

Welcome to the party! The link party. Do you know what a link party is? I didn't until about 3 months ago. It's a party where massive amounts of really really ridiculously good looking people link up their blog posts {recipes, projects, DIY, fashion, EVERYTHING!} and we, as their friends, get to meet new people and get new ideas. If you were at my house for the party, we'd have marshmallow popcorn and vanilla coke and would end watching ELF. But, alas, we must party online. So get your own treats and link up below!!


***************


OK! Here is the MY link I'm sharing. My favorite FREE Christmas fonts! I love downloading new fonts and using them to make, well, ANYTHING. Printables are my favorite. But think how cute the word BELIEVE in one of these festive fonts would be in vinyl on a painted wood block on your mantel? Or Merry Christmas printed on a holiday card?! Hmmm...gets me thinking...

Since I am obsessed with all things MUSIC, my fonts are styled as some of my favorite Christmas songs.

Beneath the photo are the links to download my favorite Christmas fonts. ENJOY!

We Three Kings

Last Christmas

Jingle Bells

A Great Big Sled

O Holy Night

Wrapped In Red

Blue Christmas

Silver Bells

The Christmas Waltz

Breath of Heaven

What are your favorite Christmas songs?!

The dark aristocrat

I always had this nagging suspicion I could levitate and as proven by this photos I was right!:)))) They were not photoshoped so the only logical explanation it’s that I can fly! I’m really excited I was wearing this outfit while levitating for the first time – you really don’t want your superhero costume to be something boring.

What possessed me to dress this way, you ask? Well, I got some awesome jewelry recently, a bunch of cool silver rings and bracelets and I felt the ardent need to wear them all at once. A maxi dress came to mind immediately as something that would work wonderfully and the rest is history. I was aiming for a witchy vibe, but a high-end version of that – maybe a princess turned to dark magic for some reason – if you get my drift!

I was actually followed by this furious, short woman that was asking obsessively: ”Do you think you’re a princess?” (Te crezi printesa? in Romanian) like it was a bad thing if I did. I can’t imagine why somebody would ever do that but I stopped and answered politely: ”Sometimes”. The whole thing was so ridiculous it was funny. This is what I get for riding the subway in such a get up!:))))

Getting back to my favorite subject – jewelry – I’m super obsessed with this lot from Red Cap – and I’ve been wearing them a lot these past two weeks. There’s something magic about good Goth theme rings and lots of them. I actually had a version of this outfit on for the Avanpremire 13 event - I just needed to show off the dress and bling to a more fashion friendly crowd!:)))

 I’m wearing:

maxi dress / rochie - Topshop

  red jacket / jacheta rosie - H&M (The garden collection)

floppy hat / palarie - New Look

boots, fringe bag / cizme, geanta franjuri - random brand

rings / inele - Red Cap jewelry (1, 2, 3, 4)

   bracelets / bratari - Red Cap jewelry (1, 2)

My Favorite Things 2013 {giveaway!}

One of my best friends does a "Favorite Things" blog post every November. I love it! I've always wanted to copy her idea and do one, too. Well, this year is the year of doing things I've always wanted to do, so I am officially doing it. It will be a fall tradition here at Put A Bird On It. I can't wait to look back in 5 years and see all the different things that were my favorite at the time. What are a few of your favorite things??

Sonia Kashuk lip balm in hint of coral
Goes on like butter. Sold at Target. Love!

Parenthood
Cry. Cry. Cry. Every episode. Start at the beginning. This is the best show on TV! I often text my sister-in-law that watches it and I vent how the storylines make me mad or I wish so-and-so did this...but I love it, because it's real life. And the soundtrack is amazing!

Forever 21 Polka Dot Sweater
I wear it every day. Ok, not every day. Some days I wear my Star Wars sweater. But basically every day. I'm wearing it now.

Toasted Marshmallow Hot Cocoa
This girl can't eat dairy {boo!} which 9 times out of 10 means NO hot cocoa. And what is wintertime without hot cocoa?! I found this hot cocoa mix at {of course} Target only. It is dairy free! And if it's not and I'm wrong -- don't tell me -- I can't handle the truth.

West Elm Throw
I love me a snuggly blanket. Ask my husband. We have one comforter on our bed that we share -- then my side of the bed has THREE other blankets. I love the comfort that blankets bring. I have this striped throw in RUST and it is my FAVORITE!! {keep reading -- you could enjoy the comfort of one, too!}

Starbust Studio Jewelry
This lady is my new best friend! Ok - maybe not in real life - but I love her jewelry. I just ordered a bunch during her Instagram flash sale last week! It is all quality handmade by Katie Stilwater. Plus, I love her blog for cute crafty tutorials {like this cute DIY washi tape bracelet}. If you're not following Starburst Studio on Instagram, you are missing out!


Well, there you have it! A few of my favorite things. I probably should seem grown up and put a book or a recipe I love, but reading and cooking come after the hot cocoa drinking and blankie snuggling.

Here is the best part!!!

TWO PEOPLE WILL WIN ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!!

Doubt Your Doubts {free printable}

I don't normally post on Sunday, but I wanted to share a FREE PRINTABLE I made that shares one of my most favorite quotes. It is from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Whether you are Mormon or not, this quote can mean something for you.

I teach the 12-14 year old youth in Sunday School at church {www.lds.org}. This month's lessons are all on becoming self-reliant. Today's lesson was on finding answers to your own gospel questions. At the end of the lesson, I felt compared to share this very quote. "Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith." I think it is easy to have doubts -- and hard to have faith. The negative always seems to stick out more than the good, in any situation. But it shows true courage, I think, to doubt your doubts and rely on your faith. Find the good in everything. Have hope. Believe.

If you care to read the talk from President Uchtdorf {give during the October 2013 session of General Conference for the LDS Church}, you can find it by clicking HERE {Come, Join Us}.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

DIY – colorful statement necklace

I’m a huge DIY fan and I love making things for myself for a fraction of what they would cost if I were to buy them. I know many of you see things in magazines, online or on the runway and you get depressed because you think you could never afford them but, believe me, there are always creative ways to get a similar result for pennies or even using stuff you already have. They usually just need a little upgrade.

I took the photos for this tutorial a while ago but I just got around editing them and writing the text. By popular demand, today I’m showing you a step by step photo tutorial for a colorful rhinestone necklace. It’s really easy to make and the result it's very cool.

You will need: some old costume jewelry (rhinestone necklaces to be more precise), nail polish or sharpies (permanent markers), silver wire (optional) and cotton swabs.

Azi va arat cum sa transformati niste coliere vechi intr-un colier statment colorat de care nu o sa va mai puteti dezlipi. Pasii sunt simplu de urmat si rezultatul este spectaculos. Ideea mi-a venit cand am descoperit doua coliere cu cristale in cutia mea de bijuterii pe care nu le purtasem niciodata pentru ca erau prea "de nunta" si nu se potriveau cu mai nimic. Ale mele erau noi, dar partea buna este ca pot sa fie si intr-o stare mai proasta, cu cristale innegrite, orice gasiti abandonat prin casa poate fi folosit si o sa arate la fel de bine la final.

Iata de ce aveti nevoie pentru acest proiect: cateva coliere cu cristale, lac de unghii in diferite nuante, sarma argintie si betisoare pentru urechi.

So I had these two rhinestone necklaces that were just laying around never worn before mainly because I found them too bridal for my outfits. They were also too small by themselves.

Acestea sunt cele doua coliere de care va povesteam (inainte de transformare) - destul de ok, dar genul pe care nu le purtam niciodata si ramaneau parasite in cutie de fiecare data.

I have way too many bottles of nail polish so it was high time to use them for more than just my nails.  Obviously the ones pictured are just a small percent of my collection (I didn't want to scare you:)))).

The first thing I did was to mash the two necklaces together and make a bigger one out of them. You might need some silver wire to connect them and effortlessly make them look like a brand new necklace!

Primul lucru pe care l-am facut a fost sa unesc cele doua coliere mai mici ca sa obtin unul mare. In cazul acesta s-au potrivit atat de bine ca forma incat nu a fost nevoie decat sa unesc lanturile, dar pentru alte forme dau daca vreti sa conectati mai multe coliere, s-ar putea sa aveti nevoie de sarma argintie subtire !

The next step is to decide the color scheme. I initially tried using permanent markers to color the rhinestones but they weren't pigmented enough to get the shades I wanted so I went for nail polish instead and it worked great. 

Pasul urmator este sa decideti ce combinatie de culori vreti sa folositi pentru a vopsi cristalele. Intial am vrut sa utilizez markere, dar pigmentul nu era suficient de puternic si efectul nu era mat asa cum imi doream asa ca am decis ca-i mai bine sa folosesc oja.

Choosing the perfect color mix it's actually the hardest part - I tried different combinations on a white piece of paper before settling on a blend of green, mint, blue and yellow.

Alegerea combinatiei de culori pe care urmeaza sa o folositi este partea cea mai grea: eu m-am tot gandit si razgandit pana sa ma opresc la un amestec de nuante de verde, albastru si galben cu accente mint. Incercati pe o coala de hartie inainte: cu puncte de oja de diferite culori alaturate ca sa vedeti cum merg impreuna.

The next step is to patiently start coloring the rhinestones - make sure and not load the brush with too much varnish! If you happen to apply too much nail polish on one of the rhinestones use a cotton swab to clear away the excess. I used the brushes from each nail polish bottle - no need for a separate paint brush. Another tip is to start from the top of the necklace and move down towards the bottom. I would also recommend color variation: use just a few colors but make sure there's enough contrast to make things interesting!

Odata ce ai ales culorile, urmatorul pas este coloratul cristalelor cu oja. Cel mai bine este sa incepi de sus in jos ca sa nu fie nevoie sa ai mereu grija sa nu strici/atingi ce ai vopsit deja. Scutura pensula inainte sa vopsesti un cristal, dar daca folosesti prea mult din greseala, nu te panica si indeparteaza excesul cu un betisor pentru urechi. Am folosit pensula fiecarei sticlute de oja - deci nu este nevoie de pensula separata. Secretul este sa gasesti o armonie intre culori si sa adaugi si putin contrast ca  rezultatul sa fie cat mai interesant.

 Ce ziceti? Va place ce a iesit? Are cineva de gand sa puna in aplicare acest tutorial? Imi puteti scrie daca doriti sa fac un tutorial pe o anumita tema si promit sa va fac pe plac daca pot!

What do you think? Planning to do this project yourself? If so I'd love to see photos with the end result! Let me know if you have any special requests for tutorial/DIY projects!
