Besties Birthday

My Best Friend Chelsea just had a birthday!

Last year she asked for rings, said she didn't have any.

This year I didn't know what to get her...

So I decided to paint her a little box for those rings 

When wrapping it I used a bag 

and instead of tissue paper 

I made a bunch of paper fortune cookies 

and put birthday fortunes in them.

Watching Chels open it up was more fun than I imagined 

:)

She just started her own blog too

Sweet Nothings

When I was surfing the net
 I found a post on the blog Design*Sponge and printed it!

I knew my boyfriend would get a kick out of it because I am so hard of hearing..

He fell asleep and I quickly put this template together and wrote him a note that read..

I left the paper megaphone with the note and headed out

Try it out

Missing Summer

I came across this picture the other day...

 and it made me miss summer BAD!

Although my Boyfriend did get me some get boots for this rain :)

PTOWN.

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

I got this fun apron for my bday last month!

 I tried this recipe from allrecipes.com with a few substitutions.

I added half a banana and a little more chocolate chips and extra vanilla and cinnamon. 

Turned out AMAZING!

This is all that was left when I got around to taking the picture!

Necklace Holder

I was at Craft Warehouse with my bestie, Chelsea Emch, looking for various art supplies.  We were really inspired by silverware hooks we saw on the blog Design*Sponge.  I wanted to use photographs though.  At the Craft store I found a square with four separate squares inside on sale for $2.00!! I knew this is what I wanted to use. I painted it and then mod podged the pictures on, added a little glitter and waited for it to dry! I then just hammered my silverware to the hook shape I wanted and hot glued...

 What a great necklace holder it makes!!

The top left is a photo I took in San Fransisco in China Town somewhere.  The Bottom right corner is a vineyard in Napa Valley I took out the window when driving through.  The other two pictures are of my boyfriend, Cameron, and I. 

We've been dating for four years. Fun end of summer project!

Painting Fun

I was bored and felt like painting.  I want to start embroidering soon and have been looking all over the net for pointers and what not. I noticed that free embroidery patterns could be easy to paint.  I printed a few and this is one of the projects I came up with it.
