Picnic

Today my house was full of giggles & cake.

Lila Mae turned 10!

She had 2 little friends over for a rainbow birthday party!

It made me want to set up a party of my own,

so I set up this little picnic in my backyard!

Flea Market Finds

The Nashville flea market may be one of my favorite places on planet earth.

Lots of hip people.

And lots of cool junk.

Even though it was blazing hot today,

and everyone was sweating,

I was in my happy place and could care less about the heat.

I had a fabulous day of junking with two of my bestest friends!

You gotta take a look at my finds!

Potato Stamp Bag

A few days ago my family was doing some grocery shopping,

and when we passed the produce section.

The potatoes caught my eye.

Normally,

the potatoes don't grab my attention.

But it just so happened that earlier that day,

 I had seen a stamp carved out of a potato on Pinterest.

So of course,

I had to try out myself,

and for $.79 it was totally worth it.

I ended up with a really cool bag!

I'm happy the potatoes caught my eye in the grocery store.

DIY Polka-Dot Sweatshirt

Currently,
I am dodging every blanket on my bed,
and typing with the very edge of my fingertips.
Because freshly painted nails will be smudged by anything.
I usually don't paint my nails this late at night...
but EASTER is tomorrow!
And my nails just have to match my dress...!
I just love easter so so much.
My new mint nail color also happens to match my new favorite DIY!
My polka dot sweatshirt!

Printable Ice-Breaker Questions

Finally.

Spring break is here.

No school.

No plans.

This means there will be lots of chill-axing...

At the last crafternoon,

see pictures of it HERE,

I used handy dandy "Ice Breaker Questions."

They were a hit!

Answering the questions kept the conversation running smoothly,

and kept the laughs rolling.

I made up a printable of all the questions,

so YOU can use them too!

Crafternoon #2

Crafternoon #2 was a success once again!

The girls & I had a blast.

We ate lots of popcorn,

Window Scenery

Quick.

Simple.

Easy.

3 words that describe this craft.

Window Scenery!

Pom-Pom Letters

News Flash:

School is out tomorrow!

We had a snow day today,

(with actual snow on the ground),

and now we are out tomorrow!

Yard Sale Dress

Saturday was the first yard sale of the season.

Oh,

how I have waited for yard sale season to begin.

I miss waking up at 7:00 on Saturday mornings.

I miss the Chacos and Nike shorts.

I miss swinging by Bojangles for biscuits.

But it has finally arrived once again.

DIY Yarn Pom-Pom

This weekend has been filled with old movies and tv shows.

Fun stuff!

Last night,

I watched Grease for the first time...

lets just say choreography wasn't at it's prime...

but it was fun laughing at all the cheesy-ness with my mom.

Right now,

 My sisters and I are watching Saved by the Bell.

"Love" Doodle Page

As I sit here on my front porch swing,

in the midst of this beautiful weather,

I have observed quite the scene.

Stray cats....Playing hide & seek.

Like what?!

Pom-Pom Dry Erase Markers

Whew.

I have had an extra long weekend.

Monday was Presidents Day...

And Tuesday and Wednesday were sick days.

The whole family.

Sick.

Together.

At the same time.

Valentines

Happy Valentines Day!

Well...

yeah..

it is kinda late...

But you know,

I just spent a whole weekend in Gatlinburg!

I went to Winterfest for a youth group trip.

DIY Modge Podge Notebook Cover

Let's all take a moment,

and thank the good Lord for modge-podge.

What would a crafter do without it?!

I haven't pulled it out in a while,

 so I was beginning to miss it.

Paper Cactus

It's a snow day today!

...Except there is no snow...

But I'm so happy that I finally have time to post on the blog!

This past month,

I have been doing track conditioning.

This past week,

the actual track practices have started.

Come to find out...

I thought I signed up for 1 hour practice on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.

Ends up...

I signed up for 2 hour practices Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday!

TOMS Painting

I have never been a huge "shoe person".

If ya get what I mean...

I never have cared much about what goes on my feet.

Matter of fact,

I would rather have nothing on my feet.

However,

there is one exception,

I love me some Toms.

Instagram Crafternoon

The crafternoon was a total success!

Be prepared for more to come!

The girls and I crafted away for an entire two hours.

I took lots of pictures during the party,

so I could share them with you!

Watercolor Heart Valentines

It's Bluecoast Wednesday!

Every Wednesday,

my family eats at Bluecoast Burrito right after school.

We countdown the days till Bluecoast Wednesday.

It's a big deal at our house.

Crepe Paper Banner

HaLf DAy!

Can I get a "whoop whoop"!

Half days are the bomb diggity.

Except the one today where we did remediation...

But on the bright side,

it was only 3 hours of remediation...

Note-Taking & Doodles

You will usually find me at school,

 in my desk,

 doodling on a scrap sheet of paper.

To be honest,

I have a sheet dedicated to doodles in each subject's binder...

My "Doodle Sheets" are always filled!

I am really not a huge fan of school...

so I gotta do something to keep me entertained!

When I'm not doodling,

I am decorating my notes.

Washi-Tape Pencils

Blogging requires sacrifices...

Like today for example,

I needed good lighting for my pictures,

but it was below freezing outside...

and who with the right mind would go outside?!

But you wanna know what THIS girl did.

Keep reading to find out.

Fort Building

When I was little,

I was pretty skilled when it came to fort building.

I figured out which blankets were the longest,

which chair was the tallest,

and what books were the heaviest.

It got intense.

So when me & my friend were trying to figure out what to do one day...

I decided to go back in time,

and build a fort.

Yarn Wrapped Letter

Oh,

ya know.

Sitting on my bed listening to my 'Jackson 5' pandora station.

I've recently been obsessed with 80s music.

Right now,

'Man in the Mirror' is playing.

But,

you know it's bad when your mom walks in your room,

and knows the words to all of your music.

But on another note,

I made a yarn wrapped letter!

Polyvore Fun

Today I'm trying something a little different...

I played around on Polyvore,

and ended up with these sweet creations.

Comfy & Cute Outfit

I'm one happy girl right now.

School was just cancelled for tomorrow,

and the low for tomorrow is -1.

Okay,

maybe -1 is too cold.

But hey,

who could argue with no school?

Cow Head Decor

Recently ,

I shared with you about one of my favorite Christmas presents.

It is certainly unique...

I got a cow head!

And I love it!

Converse Makeover

These shoes are my favorite shoes.

I don't really know why...

They are nothing special..

just cute & comfy.

But they have gotten pretty dirty,

so I decided it was time to give them a face-lift!

Handmade Scarf

Whoop Whoop!

I actually had a "productive" day yesterday.

I made myself an entire infinity scarf.
