Purple and Leopard

A couple of weeks ago I went to my good friend Ashleigh's bridal shower, and this is what I brought a bride survival kit! The theme of the party was purple and leopard, so I went to target and collected as much stuff that was purple and leopard. unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the final kit put together. Some of the things that I put in it were, leopard socks, lotion, hand sanitizer, notebook, a pen, tide-to-go, back scratcher, lufa, gum, and much more. I got the purple bin at target in the $1.00 section and then added some leopard print fabric and some paper letters with mod-podge. 

 on the notebook I used stamps to add the brides notes

I'm hoping she might have a picture of the basket all put together, if so I will post a picture of it!!

Hope you all enjoy

Part 2... Redwoods

This is part 2 of my vacation! We were last in Disney Land, when we got done with Disney Land we went back to my grandparents house and had some pizza. We were sitting around eating and all of the sudden we were in an 4.4 earthquake, I was so scared I didn't know what to do. Then I was woken up by an earthquake... freaky!! From my grandparents we drove up the coast to the redwoods... all I can say about the Redwoods is amazing, the trees are huge it's an incredible place. 

 we drove through SF!! 

 yes, snoopy with a mustache!

 My Mom took all the pictures of me... thats why they are so blurry

we stopped at a beach on the way up!! So pretty!!

Hope you enjoy

Mouse ears

Hey, hey.... wow it's almost been a month since my last post. Life's been a little crazy this past month, I finished school, tried to see Tomas as much as possible, made some onesies to sell at a store in Fort Collins, went on a family road trip to California, and now getting ready to go back to school. So here are some of my pictures from the last month!

part 2 coming tomorrow!!

so many project so little time

It seems lately that I have a huge list of projects that I want to do and so many ideas in my head, but I never have enough time to get them all done... Or what is my biggest problem starting a project and then in the middle of that project starting another one, I might have project ADD. With that being said, this past week I have been following through on my projects, making a list helps me out a ton and so does time management. 

car trash can for my mom

 Baily did not want to go outside the other morning

 I rearranged my apartment, now I have a little bar area!

Then I started the process of cleaning out my jewelry box... this took forever (I might be a accessory hoarder)

 

 

To display my bracelets, I used paint rollers that I had left over from a project.

More projects on the way!
