congrats and YAY

so my beautiful friend april just signed on her own new house {she's such a grown up now} and i wanted to send her her first piece of mail...so here it is. i think it turned out cute! one of her room's color schemes is grey and yellow {eeekkk i love!} so i wanted to incorporate that here

for this next project i have to give a huge shoutout to my husband...he is definitely the one who made this happen. Starting with the idea->finishing the project {he even let me take a nap while he was cutting and drilling, etc.} he conquered this beast. all i did was choose where i wanted the pots to go + got uberly excited at what herbs/flowers i was going to grow + almost teared up when he dropped one of my ceramic pots and broke it {and yes i HAD to have ceramic}. but its done and i can't explain how thrilled i am. i cannot wait to have fresh herbs and gorgeous flowers {im most excited about peonies...can you believe it? my own peonies!} o i just hope i have a green thumb!

finished project to come soon...

new creations

just some things i've been working on...

enjoy some goat cheese today...whether on a sandwich or in a pasta dish, it's delicious!

Love Day

Ok I have two confessions:

1. My phone crashed--> you may be wondering what this means and I'll tell you

The Christmas tutorial pics are gone :(

Yes, it's true...I had pictures for tutorials for all those fun creations I made over Christmas break and because I didn't back up my phone I have sadly lost them! However, fear not...I would love to answer your questions (if any) via comments on the creations AND I've been creating more things!

2. I don't have wifi at my house--> why is this relevant to the blog?

Easy, it's EXTREMELY hard to blog without wifi

What should take me 30 minutes takes me an hour to write and it's hard to find time to sit down and do such when the time it takes is doubled...but NO excuse. I have vowed to try to go to coffee shops and such to complete these blogs for my fans (HA fans...well I should say loyal followers!)

Now that I've found every excuse possible (but they are fairly legit wouldn't you say) here is something a little more fun...

Just figured I'd share with you all some of the sappy lovey-dovey things I created for this year's Valentine's day...it is our FIRST married one so I figured what better time than this one to get cheesy :)

Here are the Valentine's day cards I made to send to our families

and here is the super sappy present I gave Chaz...for each hour of the day I told him something I loved about him in the little envelopes I made...(I modeled this idea off an AHHH MAZE ing present he gave me when I went to mexico for 2 months...a WHOLE journal of things he loved about me [one/day] + bible studies each day)

and all these things were made from my gorgeous silhouette machine my valentine gave me at Christmas...one of the best presents EVER!

Hope you all had a sweet Valentine's day

"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
