DIY update

So, I asked y'all a few weeks ago about a do-it-yourselfer. I finished this project in one night and it's been hanging for a while now. I had a blast with this little project. I must say I am pleased with the outcome. Not too shabby for a first.

The beginning.

The pane painted.

The pane with fabric behind it.



The final product.

This week I made the matching pillows! I will update with pictures of them to follow!

Happy Thursday :)

love at first sight

.I believe in it after seeing this beauty.

All donations are welcomed. Thank you.

if I was the bride....

Last week Ashley had me look at her photographer's latest wedding shoot. This lady did a fab job. I love her work. BUT.... I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with the Bride's dress. It was love at first sight. I would only make a few changes to the top and add pockets. I am head over heels for this girl's get up. Check out Rebecca Perkins Photography on Facebook for more shots.

My friend Leigh snapped this at our annual Mistletoe Market.

My Meme is a pretty lady. I sure do love her crazy self.

This is us chatting/shopping/drinking a latte on a cold December day.

Pretty much sums us up.

I really wish

I could pull one of those super cute head bands off.....

Happy Friday

If this doesn't make you smile, then I don't know what will.

This is Lucy Jane, my friends little girl. Isn''t she a doll?

They shot this on the second floor of the boutique I worked at in PC.

For more pictures of their awesome work and this presh little babe, check out my favorite photographers in the world HERE.

I stalk their blog daily. I am going to start saving now for them to shoot my wedding. haha.

p.s.

When I was at dinner Saturday night in PC I saw one of the VUE chicks and had to hold myself back from approaching her. Stalk much?!?!?

A change would do you good.

My sweet friend has now started doing some graphic design and editing. She helped me give my blog this cute new look. Now, I have a blog that reflects me. She can do the same for you. Check her out HERE.

Not only did she personalize my blog, it took her no time. If you are interested in a change, she can help you out. I highly recommend her work. Thanks Annie!!

Lookie at what I got today

A big thanks to Ashley. Boy, was I surprised.

Being 23 is going to be fun, I can already tell.

For my day of birth I would like the following (in no particular order):

[ulta]

[modcloth]

...this to accessorize with...
[fossil]

[rayban]



anyone who would like to donate, feel free :]

did I mention...

that I also decided this morning (see previous post) that I want to become a florist. Random. I know nothing about flowers except that they are pretty.I do think it would be fun though.

.blah.

I am boring today. I have no fun wedding plans, no cute kid to post pictures of, I am not preggers, I have no creative juices flowing in my little brain, no projects, no important thoughts and by all means no love life. Today I just am. Is that ok with y'all? Ok good. Thanks for being my friend anyway. Happy Manic Monday.

Look what I found...

On etsy [[of course]] I grew up with deaf family members. I find sign language beautiful. It is like watching a ballerina dance. I plan on one day teaching my children to sign (just some basic stuff bc that's all I know).

You can spell some six letter words:

always

create

i'm here

friend

silent

sister

mother

father

family

...I think this set would be precious in my apartment. So pretty...
