TGIF!

This has been an insane week. It's been a long time since I have been so happy for a weekend. My husband started a new job on Tuesday and he's working second shift. Since he doesn't have his driver's license, I drive him to work in the afternoon and pick him up at night.

Pinterest Yummies!

Like quite a few other people I know, I have gotten addicted to Pinterest. (Not addicted but want to be and need an invite? Post your email below as a comment and I'll send you one)

Rapture Re-Do

So I try not to get caught up in all of the things surrounding the "The world is ending on xxDATExx" talk that inevitably pops up every few months or years or so, but it was kind of hard for me to not acknowledge this time around.

Without getting into the specifics of religion and whatnot, I'm just simply going to say that I don't truly believe any human here on Earth will ever be able to accurately predict the end, except by possible fluke.

Manic Monday + Recipe Bonus!

This weekend was a TON of fun!

Since my sister's birthday was last Wednesday and my husband's birthday is this Thursday, my aunt decided to have a BBQ at her house to celebrate. It rained a bit and was kind of hot and icky, but it was such a great time. We had entirely too much food too! Of course we had hamburgers and hot dogs, plus pinwheel sandwiches. They were so fun to make!

Thrifty Thursday

With wedding season in full swing, along with all sorts of graduations from kindergarten to college happening in the next few weeks, I thought you might benefit from some cheap photos.

Wedding Wednesday

Today is all about wedding programs. Somewhere in my online searching pre-wedding I found a template for a wedding program that I thought I could finally actually work with. I knew I didn't want to get too fancy because 1) not everyone would even take a program and 2) most that were taken would probably find their way to the trash sooner or later. It wasn't worth it to me to spend too much time and energy on all of that.

30 Day Challenge

I've been thinking lately about how I've been doing such a horrible job at crafting. Not just that I've been slacking on making cards, that I've been slacking on any crafting at all, especially since the wedding. This disappoints me greatly and I think it could help with this boredom issue I've been having lately. I'm not challenged creatively and, for me at least, that makes a world of difference.

Manic Monday

This weekend went by too fast! It probably doesn't help that I spent most of the weekend in bed either. I've been having strange and random leg cramps and I've found they aren't so bad if I just lay in bed.

My blog has a new home

I've been trying to think of a way to make it easier for me to blog so that I can do it more often. After checking out a few other sites and blogs and such, I decided to try my hand here. It seems much easier and more accessible than doing it through my regular Webs.com site. Hopefully that is the case - only time will tell.

If you've checked out the Webs.com site as of today, you'll notice that the old blog is no longer live there. I didn't want to cause any confusion, so I'll just be starting fresh over here. Look for updates, tutorials and just general life chatter. I'll be posting some wedding pics soon!
