Bad Blogger

Sorry, I know I've been a bad blogger, but school has been kicking my butt lately. I did start printing my invites today!

Sharing

Isn't this adorable? Get the tutorial here.

Isn't this adorable?

These are just fake flowers dipped in plaster! Isn't that cool?

Sorry, I had every intention on crafting yesterday...but I've just been kind of "blah" lately and I couldn't pull myself off the couch!

Much love everyone,

Ultimate Countdown!

54 days until I get to go here [Riviera Maya, Mexico]...

145 days until we do this...

147 days until we go here [honeymoon]...

304 days until we get to move back home [Nashville, TN]...

The next year and a half is going to be so exciting!

What are you looking forward to?

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...

Hey all,

I'm determined to have a handstamped necklace to wear on my wedding...I need to decide soon though!

Suggestions are welcome, but here are the ones I like so far. Opinions?

Of course the 3rd is my favorite, but it's not very dressy.

It would have our names and our wedding date on it.

Sorry!

I know, I've been a horrible blogger this week, but I went home to Nashville to see family and now I am painfully broke! I did get my new Cricut cartridge while I was gone and our first wedding gift!

Spring Break!!

Yay!! It's Spring Break!! ...I just realized this is my LAST Spring Break too!

I'm off to go pack up and head to Nashville to see my family!

AHHH!!

cerebral angiography, embollism, myelography, diachisis, computerized tomography, hypoperfusion, magentic resonance imaging, regional cerebral blood flow, transient ischemic attack, syncope, hemaniopsia, bifurcation, hemiparesis...

THIS IS WHAT MY LIFE IS LIKE!

Neurogenic Disorders of Speech midterm is tomorrow! I need as much prayer as possible!

Homemade Products

Some homemade things I wanna try...

Homemade Deodorant

Why? Because I'm allergic to deodorant. Most deodorant has aluminum in it, which is what I'm allergic to. And it can't possible be good for your body!

What you need:

1/4 cup baking soda

1/4 cup corn starch or arrowroot powder

1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil

Homemade Laundry Soap

Why? Because laundry soap is expensive!

What you need:

1/3 bar of Fels-Naptha or 1 bar of Ivory soap, grated

½ cup washing soda (found in the laundry aisle in most stores - Arm & Hammer makes it)

½ cup borax powder (also in the laundry aisle - look for "20 Mule Team" brand)

~You will also need a small bucket, about 2 gallon size~

Bird Silhouette Art + My Bedroom

I don't have pictures of the steps before this, but I bought picture frames and painted them all black and then cut scrapbook paper to fit each frame (step 1)

Step 2. Then find your image you're going to use for your silhouette. I found googling whatever image you want + color(ing) helps. Coloring sheets have clean simple lines to cut. Also, I recommend printing on cardstock.

Step 3. Cut the little friend out.

Step 4. Paint with black paint.

*bark* *whine* *bark* *whine*

He did this the ENTIRE time!

Step 5. Assemble in frame (I didn't glue or anything, because I like the ability to change out the paper)

Step 6. And finish! (I already had the others done for awhile now)

Yeah...I know bird silhouettes are old news, but I still love them!

Here's an old project I did. They flock each side of the bed and work as night lights.

Fun right?

The whole thing!

Recycled Wall Art

I need to put myself on a one-feature-blog-a-day limit.

...but we're not starting that today!

Look at this...

Beautiful right?

You'll never guess what it is...

TOILET/PAPER TOWEL ROLLS!

Amazing! ...and practically free

I can't wait to make this.

Vacation Rocks

Definitely doing this once we get married. Isn't it cute?

Thumbprint Guestbook

Isn't this cute?

We might just do this for our wedding!

Spring Cleaning!

The gals at Sister's Stuff have been "Cleaning Out" all week and it inspired to do my embarrassment of a pantry. So here it is...in all its shambles

I found this neat container that is going to be used for something...

...and this is what happens when you don't know what's in your cabinet

and this

...and this is what happens with a bag of onions sits in there for God knows how long

...MUCH better!

First Free Download - Meal Planner

Hola! I've started planning our meals by the week and needed a meal planner. So I made one and you're welcome to use it too! Download it here.

Shhh....

So Joann has their Cricut cartridges on sale!

Did I need them? No. Did I need to spend the money? Most likely not.

But midterms are going to kick my butt and that's my reward for myself (and I couldn't wait until after midterms to buy them because the sale ends tomorrow!)

Here they are. Cute??
