Spring is in the air....

Hi All!!

I have not been good about posting, sorry! But I have lots of fun posts prepared for this week so make sure to keep checking in!

I decided it was surely time to take my winter wreath off the door. I mean seriously, the sun has been shining for about 4 days in a row!! :) I have become obsessed with Pinterest and found this darling spring wreath idea that I decided to copy.

My Inspiration: full details at

My Version:

I found the styrofoam circle for $4 and the green yarn was on sale at Joann's for $2.49. I then used some flowers that I had in my scrap stash to finish it off. I am very happy with how it turned out and it didn't take me more than 2 hours to complete! Welcome Spring!

Spring has Sprung!! :) (at least on my front door...)

I am sorry....

I feel like all I have been doing is complaining these days.. i'm so huge, i'm so uncomfortable, i'm so tired, nothing fits good, i feel so ugly, i want this baby out now, i dont want to go to work.... and on and on. Seriously, for those around me who have been hearing this I am really sorry. When I lost our first little baby over a year ago, I said to myself that I would NEVER be one of those annoying complaining pregnant ladies.. at least they had an alive baby in their belly! I remember hating hearing them complain because to me it was so selfish.. And now I have become a complaining lady! Anyway, I apologize to everyone out there for being such a complaining lady... that is why I loved this quote on Pinterest :) I am not going to guarentee that I wont complain anymore, but I really want to stay happy these next few weeks.

Fun Wall Decor Project

Hi Everyone,

So when we moved, we obviously had to take down everything from the walls of our apartment and put it in boxes. I had stuff from the old place that didn't necessarily match with our new place, or I just had not found a place to put it yet. This weekend I found this photo frame/shelf that was previously in our bedroom with some wedding pictures in it. I decided to use it for Levi's room as wall decor. I also decided that if I put some hooks on it, it could be very useful for hanging his coats and other misc. things.

I used my new scrap-booking paper "stack" to fill the places where the photos previously went.

I added some hooks to the bottom of the frame. These hooks came off of some of the letters that you all helped me find for the Alphabet wall.

And ta-da!!  Love it!
