What I'm loving Wednesday...

Im loving:

These 2 DIY projects, they are the next projects on my to-do list!!

First one I saw over at Tatertots and Jello, and it was featuring a project done by a Ms. Michaela from Michaela Noelle Designs (who also has a great blog as well) I bought the cork boards, still need to find the perfect fabric though before I start mine. These are pics of the boards Michaela made, aren't they pretty?!










Next project looks super easy, and I really like the look of it. I saw this over at a Little Bit Funky.











I want to find a cute Moroccan Trellis print fabric to try and make this with. Haven't found it yet but I will.....

I'm loving:
This jewelry tray, I caught a glimpse of while over at Oh Captain, My Captain.





I'm also loving:
These frames and trays I saw over at Haymarket Designs...

Butterfly Collage Art

I have seen a lot of collage art using butterflies, so I tried to make my own this weekend....This was the end result. Not too bad, I still like my cupcake one more, but they all end up looking cute. Just wanted to share with everyone!





Top 2 Tuesday!!

Top 2 Dream Rooms:

1. Craft Room


I saw this over at A to Zebra Celebrations and I fell in love with it! I would love to have a craft room like this!!

2. Office, not craft room, LOL, although you will notice some similarities!

I am obsessed with the square storage shelves! I saw this while visiting a Made By Girl's Blog and the monogrammed chair caught my eye.....what a cute way to decorate an office! :) 

That's all for now. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

The simple things...




After my grandfather passed, we took a trip down to his house...I took this picture while I was out standing on the deck, knowing that it was a view I wouldn't be likely to see again. Eventually I want to frame and mat this photo. This photo reminds me of every visit I made to see my grandparents growing up. It's a simple, yet wonderful memory, and I am glad I captured it.

Friday Confessional...

Photobucket

I confess:
Somehow I bruised my arm the other day, if you look at it closely, kind of looks like a hickey...But it's not...that would be pretty weird, right by my elbow, yep...

I confess:
I was a little jealous when Scott told me he was taking the day off today. Then he told me he would be working in the yard all day. I am not jealous anymore.

I confess:
I am still way too obsessed with my iPad. I've had it since Christmas. Thought the newness would wear off. It hasn't. Still obsessed.

I confess:
When my hubby puts home decorations out that I am not a fan of, I will hide them in different spots, and then not say a word, well, until he finds them.

I confess:
I have been laughing at this all week, so true!!!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm loving:
That all my pants are getting tight and because of that I will I be starting weight watchers, again, for the thousandth time since the 1st of Jan. I just can't figure out how to keep myself motivated. The wedding did it before, I need something new that I will take seriously!! (if you can't tell, this is a sarcastic "I'm loving" comment...)

I'm loving:
That my mom came to visit this past week! She just left, tear : (

I'm loving:
That most mornings, my dog is sleeping like this, lol...



Im loving:
This photo right now from my wedding, it cracks me up!


I'm loving:
The following etsy items...(click on to go to the shop)





And as always, I'm loving Mr. McStudmuffin himself...

The simple things...

While walking with my friend Shahanna this morning, I just had to snap this photo. I love it. My pup Roxy, the tiny one to the left, walking with Gander (Shahanna's dog). Roxy is always trying to stay up with Gander, or race just to stay at the same pace, I thinks it's adorable, simple as it is. I have been staying up to date with others as they link up to the blog "Simple as that" and I thought I would join in with the others this week!

Friday Confessional...

Photobucket

I confess:
In the last week I have caught myself dancing in the work bathroom TWICE as I was washing my hands (we have an overhead radio in the office) It's fine, the door was closed, obviously, LOL.

I confess:
When I go running, I like to take my pup with me. It's good for her to get exercise. Added bonus, when she has to take a potty break, I get to take a walking break! Yay for me!

I confess:
I am super excited we are getting a Dollar General in my little town!! Hey it's a small little area. We just got a CVS and a Walmart is coming now, excited!!! Moving up!

I confess:
I confessed this on facebook a while back, but I forgot to mention here... I was "THIS" close to using my tide to go pen as lip gloss a few weeks ago...yucko!

I confess:
Okay, so I was walking with the girls at this natural park down the street, and saw a beautiful bird perched on a dock over by the water. I just had to take a pic of it on my phone. Thought I had got SUCH a great photo, until 3 miles later I walked by the SAME area and that beautiful bird hadn't moved. I went closer and realized the bird I took such a great photo of was actually a picture of a PLASTIC bird. I just thought I had some wonderful photography skills, ummmm, no.

I confess:
Yesterday when the lady at Chick-fil-A asked me what condiments I wanted with my fries, I told her in so many words that "I would like fries with my fries" Yep, I definitely said that...
