updates

Just a few of the projects i've been working on:

Josh and I made table numbers for our friends' wedding... so josh did most of it but I did all the number part. :)

Used a plate from anthropologie and a white candle stick holder from goodwill to make a cute little cake plate!

I put up a little inspiration for Josh and myself in our bathroom

"cleanliness is next to godliness" good motto to live by. :)

convinced

After visiting this website I'm convinced I must be an old soul. Love it all.

But mostly coveting the Ella Rose belt.

heartbeat

amy butler and i share the same heartbeat for unique and beautiful patterns. Every living room feels incomplete now that i've seen these....

recently

Finally got around to finishing one of the many projects on my to-do list.

I made alphabet magnets out of an old scrabble game! I love what it does to my fridge!

I also got around to using my heart-shaped muffin cups! It's a great way to give

a little love to someone in a tasty way!

lovely.

i've decided that i need to join a firm that makes lovely packaging

that way i can help make the world a prettier place one juice bottle at a time.

Had an amazing time in Vegas with the fam! Got to see two extremes of Vegas...the bright lights and casinos and then the gorgeous mountains! And guess what? I came home a winner! (I lost $10 and made $30). The fountains at the Bellagio were my favorite site to see!

Fabulous Las Vegas

I have been running around like a chicken with my head chopped off for the last couple of weeks trying to finish up my first semester of grad work hence the lack of posts.

But I am busting at the seams today as tonight I leave for LAS VEGAS BABY!!! My sister is graduating from UNLV and my family is going out to celebrate with her. This will be my first visit and I cannot wait!

I will be sure to post some pics when I return!

still in awe

i am still in awe of this art exhibit i recently saw where all these images were made of spools of thread! I want to have that river rock wall in my house!
