A Very QWERTY Birthday

My boyfriend’s birthday is this weekend, and I’m getting him a new smartphone(!) which has been quite the ordeal.  And apparently while I have been transfixed on trying to select and purchase the perfect gift on the sly, my shiftiness has become evident to my boyfriend, who smugly mentioned this afternoon that he “knew” I was throwing him a surprise party this weekend.  While this revelation was quite distant from reality, I acted like he’d caught me (to throw him off my smartphone scent)…but now I have to throw him a party, too.  So since everything in my life has been smartphone-centric for the past few days, I thought: Why not theme the party around….emojis?!

Fortunately, the decoration portion of my party planning was made incredibly simple when I came across these spot-on DIY Emoji Balloons from Studio DIY, which I’ll definitely be whipping up this weekend:

…and these hilarious Dancing Girls piñatas, also from Studio DIY:

Whew!  I’d better be receiving beaucoup smiley, heart, and kissy-filled texts next week for all this. :)

Wheaton’s Law Cross Stitch

wil wheaton cross stitch
When it comes to actors there is one fine young man whom my BF and I share a great passion for- Wil Wheaton, however I’d like to point out for entirely different reasons! So when I stumbled across this amazing cross-stitch, by geeky-licious Craftster Menolly07, I couldn’t help but smile.

With Christmas just a few weeks away a Wheaton inspired gift could be the way forward but if cross stitch sends a shiver down your spine here is another project you might enjoy.

Crafty lady Futuregirl made an amazing miniature Wheaton clown sweater and has generously supplied full construction details. Alternatively you can buy a man-size version from stupidnfunnytshirtgifts.com
