Treat for You!

I spotted these cute boxes at Michael's in the gift wrap section ... $0.69 each! I scooped up a few to play with. How fun is this?

The ghost bell is from last year at Michael's on clearance, although I did see more this year. I also have bats, pumpkins, skulls, and witches! So much fun.

Stay tuned for another cute treat box tomorrow! :)

I love this guy!

Just wanted to share a quick photo of me and my honey from this past weekend.



He works retail management (icky hours) so we rarely have time to hang out, just the two of us. He had last Friday and Saturday off, I took Friday afternoon off, Lily was with her dad for the weekend. We went to lunch, the mall (bought outfits for our engagement photos), dinner, and then to happy hour and our friends' show on Saturday night. Sure do love that group of guys! Always a good time.

With all wedding plans, all the time (or so it seems), it was nice to hang out and just be together. Reminds us why we're doing all of this planning! Can't wait to be his wife.

Relax

My mom asked me to make a birthday card for my uncle (her brother) for me and my cousins to sign. I struggle with masculine cards, but whipped this one up pretty quickly. I had no choice, she was on her way over to pick it up!

Fun Frames

Okay, so ... I've been hoarding super-cute pictures of my BFF Candice and her boyfriend Shaun. Just waiting to do something fabulous with them.

I spotted these magnetic acrylic photo frames on sale at Kohl's for under $2 each. And ... voila! It felt so good to just create for no other reason than FUN. It's been awhile since I've done that.

I am tickled pink with these, I tell you. Can't wait to deliver them!

(pardon the crappy glare - acrylic frames do not photo well!)





and one of us, for good measure!
