a Birthday and a Shower

Saturday was my sister Rachel's BriDaL ShOwEr! It was at Costa Vida so the food was delicious! We had lots of fun hanging out and talking and of course eating! It was kinda funny watching her open her "gifts" in front of kids. Haha! She is getting married in 2 weeks!!!
Congrats Rachel and Clint!

We went out to dinner for my mom's birthday{which is tomorrow}. We went to Buca de Beppo! The food is soo good there and theres tons of it. We had a good time hanging out with family. Happy Birthday MOM!!!!
Oh and Merrick likes calamari!!!

A day at the park

We went to the park a few days ago! It was the perfect weather to be outside all afternoon!

SpRiNg BrEaK thus far

So for the first half of my "break" I have been working on all of these! Most of them I had started over the past few weeks..now i had time to FINISH them! I've been obsessed with crafting blogs lately...so most of these in some way or another are inspiration from them.

My $2 vase..now filled with eggs from the Dollar Store!

I spray painted these heirloom white then glazed over them with brown. SO easy!

SUBWAY ART: this actually took me a good 4 weeks to finish. I had to cut out all the letters by hand and then glue them each onto the canvas.


My sister got a CrIcUt machine!!!!!
{ I already have 2 other projects printed on vinyl ready to be started}

Rose crepe paper wreath! I love how it turned out!

Makin these flowers for who knows what!

And of course.....

fallin asleep during dinner!

My Own Version

I had this idea in my head and when I saw this wreath hanger thing at Target, it all came together! I was never going to pay $25 for this so I decided to make my own!

The one from target:

The one I created! A quick stop at Lowes and a trip to Michaels
and this is what I came up with.
Total: $5.50

{bad lighting i know...}

I should be doing homework and studying but for whatever reason
these types of things are just more fun :)

A few QuEsTiOnS?!

I've had a few questions on my mind lately... maybe someone can help me!

1. Can the TeRRiBlE TwOs start at 20 months old?

2. I need a good dark brown spray paint. Any suggestions?

3. How do i get rid of cRaYoN on the wall? Does MaGiC ErAsEr really work?

4. Can you wear brown and black together??

5. When painting furniture, what kind of brush do i use????
