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
check it out!

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

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!
