Stripes

I was out and about today doing anything and everything but what I needed to do and came across this vintage shop with these old chairs. I had to get them for my office and so I did. Later in the day I was at the fabric store and found this cute stripped fabric for the chairs...right on. Still have a HUGE list to do but I got the fabric for my invitation order...small progress but yet progress. Mine is just a powder pink and white but you get the idea...lovin’ stripes today!

Sweet Tooth

I have so many crafty things I need to do this weekend but all I can think of is making these cute little Easter cupcakes. I found this amazing cupcake site so between that and my Martha Stewart Cupcake book; I think I have all the tools I need. What do you think?

Lollia

Today I left the office for my lunch break which I never really do however glad I did today. I went down the street to this mall and walked around while I waited for my salad when I came across this bath store that was going out of business. It is horrible to think but that is one of the things I have loved because I have found some really cool items recently for more than half the price off. My bargin buy today was this hand creme brand that I love and had not purchased becuase I was trying to be good. Today though, I unloaded! I bought so many great items! Normally a bottle of there bubbles are $50.00 a bottle. I got two hand cremes and bubble for $45.00. Man that was a good lunch break! Here is the link to check it out.

Invitation Orders

I have been so blessed this month. I am so busy with invitation orders and really can only thank all of my previous clients for this recent rush. Since the store closed last June, I didn't think people would really work to seek me out but they have and I am truly moved by it. This month I have a little of everything, baby shower, baby announcements, wedding, wedding shower, graduation, kids birthday and wedding accessories. All have either had me do stuff for them before or referred to me by a previous client, NO ADVERTISING! I am so happy because the last rush I had was Christmas and I was starting to miss it. So whenever you are wondering why I haven't updated my blog...now you know. I will be sure to post pictures of the finished product.

Spring Cleaning

Today was a very busy day. I spent most of the day cleaning and doing the weekly laundry. The weather has been so beautiful that it was hard to stay inside...Spring is definitely here. I made a list of all the things in the house that I wanted detailed...it is so hard to get to everything in one day. I know is sounds crazy but I have planned my Spring Cleaning and actually looks forward to it. Literally everything will be turned upside down and organized. I will let you know how it goes.

Happy Birthday Melissa

Today is my sister-in-laws birthday and I just wanted to send her lots of love. Happy Birthday Melissa!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

I don't know why but I love St. Patty's day. My mom always made it so special when we are little that I truly do look forward to it every year. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail

The weather has been warmer and I couldn't help myself to reflect my excitement or Spring than in my netflix. I ordered Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail, my favorite movie as a kid. I thought it would be fun to watch it with Ian. He thought I was totally crazy! I really like ho he decorates throughout the season and I think is a big part of what I like to do today. Anyways, I posted the little video below for you to see. They are remaking the video to be more animated for kids today even though I think this is the better one. If I had kids, we would show this this one...it leaves more to the imagination.

Spring Time

Spring is around the corner and I have already planned the first event for hubby and I to do. Carlsbad, which is about 30 minutes north of where we live, have a flower field they open every year from March to May. It is absolutely beautiful. Here are a couple of pictures from years past. Towards May, they actually sale the flowers to the people visiting. The fields are endless...it is so fun to walk around and they have little things to do there for the little ones. In the fall in becomes the pumpkin patch. Can't wait!

Guilty Pleasure

I have a confession and I know some of you my think differently of me but I don't know what else I can possible be say other than I can help myself. I LOVE THE REAL HOUSWIVES SERIES. I do, I love orange county, New York, Atlanta and New Jersey. I know this is less than creditable show but I can't help watch these women try to become singers and watch all the crap they buy. I love it! That's all I can say. Poor Ian dreads Thursday because I love to curl up in a blanket and watch the drama unravel. Some of the things they say, think do...it is just entertaining. I really want to write Bravo and let them know they are missing out on the San Diego market. I feel better coming clean. I know some of you thought you knew almost everything about me but I had to shed a little light. I'm done for now...baby steps. =)

The Bottomless List

It has been a very busy week...just when I get one thing done, I have to add two more things on my list. I am such a list person too...I love the feeling of marking things off my list and sometimes find myself adding things that were not originally on my list but already completed just so I can cross it out. This week is a little different. Had meeting all day Tuesday, phone calls and emails all day Wednesday along with baseball Bridal show this weekend. Baby shower order, bridal shower order, wedding order, switching over a website and working with the company to give them a marketing perspective and I have to go grocery shopping. Lordy! I have to go...the dryer just kicked off which means folding time!

Spring Ball

Today is the first game for Ian's Spring Ball League. Hopefully we can pull more wins than last season...I absolutely hate losing. For some reason, it makes me feel like summer is right around the corner and then I looked at a calendar...IT IS! Anyhoo, I will try to get some pictures of the big man in action.

The Perfect Touch

I was looking at all the spring stuff coming out into the stores online and I came across this piece of art. This would be a perfect touch to any outfit....it just has personality and deserves to just hit the town...I am waiting for it to go on sale!

Baby Shower

A couple of weeks ago, the girls in the office, along with myself, had a baby shower for one of our co-workers. Of course she had a boy but the really cool thing is she had her son Austin on Ian's birthday. Keri has had one of the hardest pregnancies on record. I don't know how she did and furthermore, it makes me EXTREMELY hesitant. Anyhoo, here are a couple of pictures from the shower, The pictures totally don't do it justice..super cute though. We didn't really have a theme just more of a color scheme.
