Guest Post: Girl Loves Glam!

McKenzie from Girl Loves Glam is super creative, and we love creative peeps! Enjoy her guest post today!


Hello Paisley readers!

I am so excited to be with you today! I am McKenzie from Girl Loves Glam.

I love to blog about tutorials, fashion, and my life in general! I just became a momma and I love the crazy adventure it has already been juggling feedings and naps in with running an Etsy shop, blogging, and keeping my sanity! Luckily, I love what I do!

I came over to Paisley Interiors today to share some of my favorite Valentine's Day items that I have found on Etsy with you! You might just even find the perfect gift for your Valentine!

Owl Be Yours Vinyl Decal

saphire ring

XO earrings

Heart garland

Husband Keychain

If you haven't already purchased your Valentine's gifts, think about purchasing them from an Etsy shop! Not only are they all handmade or vintage (who doesn't love both of them!!), but you are helping someone build their own small business! It is a win, win. Thank you for letting me play with you guys! Happy Love Day!

Guest Post: Joyful Jones!

We are very excited to introduce our friend, Lisa, from Joyful Jones. She is an inspiration to us, and she knows how to turn every situation into a joyful one.


Hello, lovelies!

I'm excited to introduce myself! I'm Lisa from the Joyful Jones.

My life goal is to find JOY every single day.

I've experienced a lot of tragedy in my life.

It hasn't been easy but I've been learning how to

take lemons and make lemonade.

Won't you join me in my journey?

I sure hope so!

Today, I'm excited to share what I'm sending family

and friends for Valentine's Day.

Goal: I wanted to find a way to connect 

since we live far away.

Then I saw this and decided I could personalize 

my own mix CD. Connecting us with favorite

love songs old and new.

Music is the perfect way to remember and reminisce.

The story behind the cover:

I generally cook a homemade meal and always try to have it done 

by the time my husband Kevin gets home. He's really sweet and always 

does the dishes and once he's done-if it was a really good meal,

we always end up dancing in the kitchen.

Which is almost all the time I get the courage and time

to whip something up. 

It's the highlight of my day and brings me JOY.

And for my mix of songs that we like to dance to:

{some cheesy and just plain fun}

More Then Words-Extreme

Better Together-Jack Johnson

Marry Me-Train

The Way You Look Tonight-Frank Sinatra

A Kiss to Build a Dream On-Louis Armstrong

You and Me-Lifehouse

Glory of Love-Peter Cetera

I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)-The Proclaimers

Here, There, and Everywhere-Beatles

Eternal Flame-The Bangles

I Love You Always Forever-Donna Lewis

All Your Life-The Band Perry

You-Chris Young

All of these songs can be purchased on iTunes.

You can download the CD cover that will fit a standard jewel case here.

Happy listening!

Valentine's Crafts - Sarah from Crafting and Creativity

Today we are pleased to introduce Sarah! She has an amazing blog and she is super creative. We are so lucky to be able to work with her. Enjoy her post and make sure you check out her blog!




Hey everyone, I'm excited to be here at Paisley Interiors today!

I'm Sarah & I blog over at Crafting and Creativity.

I love making simple and pretty things.


I love creating things for my kids or for our home.
And I love to organize.

I love browsing Pinterest for inspiration.

{see my boards here}

I was inspired by this on Pinterest & wanted to make my own version. Here's what I did......

I wanted to fill this white frame that was now empty after the holidays...

I grabbed a piece of grey linen & then made a heart with some pink buttons.

I just set the buttons on & moved them around until it looked like a heart. Then I glued them in place with my trusty glue gun!

Instead of somehow making this permanent in the frame, I just wrapped the linen around the glass, then stuck it all back inside the frame.

After Valentine's Day, I can just store the piece of fabric with my decorations, then my frame will be ready to fill for Easter!

This literally took 5 minutes to make & I love the result!

The subway art was a printable that I framed last year from eighteen25.

The little rosette ball was made by gluing rosettes I made using crepe paper streamers onto a foam ball, then I stuck it on a candle holder.

And because yesterday was kinda gloomy out, it was hard taking decent photos. So my frame even made a trip outside for a quick photo....

I love having some pink stuff up in my home!!!!






Last year I put together some little bubbles to give to the kids in my class at church for Valentine's Day.
{see the original post here}

This year I need to come up with something new for them. I teach the same group of kids, but the class has doubled. So stay tuned for what I come up with, as well as some other Valentine's Day goodness at my blog in the coming weeks!


Hope to see you over at Crafting and Creativity soon!






Thanks to Stephanie & Risa for having me!!

There are so many great gift guides circling around the cyber world that I thought I would throw my own in to the mix. I think it's fun to put together gift guides based on peoples' interests and personal style. I geared this round up of gift ideas toward the creative, artist types that may be on your shopping list. Happy giving!
