We are Family

Back from Florida, sore and physically exhausted from all the water sports. But, I had a really great weekend and got a little sun! New, larger post coming soon!

Birthdays, Projects and Music

I am heading to FL tomorrow for my nephews 7th birthday, I am young and that makes me feel old. They are awesome little men though, and I am so blessed to have them in my life! My weekend will be spent helping them celebrate, via a cookout-boating party at Mom and Dads! I am really excited, Jet Skis, knee boarding and tubing here I come!

I recently stumbled upon and started listening to musician Priscilla Ahn. "Dream" is one of those songs you recognize, know you have heard 100 times, but have no idea where from. Try her, you'll like her!

My i pod tends to "float" around in my purse, between my "on the go" bag, computer/camera bag and player dock. I have a leather cover, but it is more hassle than its worth. I made this case last night to "protect" my ipod on all its adventures!! Its perfect!

PSSSSSST

Don't tell anyone....but, I am pretty sure Gap Outlet makes their shorts(3" inseam versions) just for me. They make all the other stuff as a cover for that fact. Yup, Yup....its our little secret!! :)

Just FYI- these shorts are never in regular GAP stores, and slightly different every year!

updates!

I have finally arranged my room the way I want it! It needs just a bit more organization and it will be perfect! If you can't tell, I really like color! The natural lighting in this room is spectacular!


Tonight I started(or re-started) my ETSY account! For now I just have two jewelry wraps but hope to add at least two more by the end of the week! If these sell, I will be branching out into more styles and colors!

favorites

Sunday evening trips to Five Guys! Eating on the Patio and taking fun pictures!


I dream of owning one of THESE beautiful fridges!


THESE Cupcake tin liners! SOOO CUTE!


I am still learning all about my new camera, getting a grasp on manual settings(gasp!) and learning how to use light correctly.


This mascara is my new favorite, one more step in the make-up applying process but totally worth it!


These green teas mixed together, iced with just a touch of honey is amazing! The perfect summer time beverage!

Spring has Sprung Summer(FINALLY)

We have had the first signs of spring(even though it is already summer) this week. The weather has been amazing giving us the chance to go for nice walks and heating the hot tub just a little for "swimming"!




Beautiful weather means a mandatory trip/hike down to the creek that runs behind our neighborhood! Its all about throwing the rocks in!

Jewelry Roll it is....

Unless someone else can come up with a better name.

I think a smaller, more travel friendly wrap was perfect! So I thought I would try it out and I love the results!





This last weekend I spent time crafting, shopping, watching movies and friends re-runs, sleeping and eating; sushi, chipotle, five guys and steak!(oh, did I mention it was my birthday sunday??) Anyway, here are a few pics!

The Crowe family came over for dinner, and the boys and I played in the hot tub before dinner!

Fast Fun Cards

I whipped these cards really fast a couple months ago, I just found them and thought I should do a quick post about them now!
All I did was trace the shapes and cut them out. Then I gently made small tears about 1/4 inch apart all around the edges! Happy Crafting!

Georgia, Storms & Rain Boots!

Over the last two weeks Georgia has been blessed with quite a few rainstorms! We needed the rain so badly (we are in a drought you know!) and I can actually enjoy a good storm if I don't have to be out in it! I did however decide rain boots would be VERY practical and cute! I am very excited to live in a time when you can find a "pretty" version of almost anything! I think these are perfect!

Fun*Practical*Project

I few months back I set out to find the perfect jewelry storage. I struggled, I also needed a good travel solution since I never know what jewelry I want to wear until the moment presents itself. And I wanted to be able to see everything to make the best decision. After searching I decided I could make the best and most creative solution. This is what I ended up with.


It ties over a hanger for easy access, both at home and on the road.

rolls up and ties to easy transportation

And hangs nicely right inside my closet!
