Shabby Chic... emphasis on chic

I met with an amazing florist yesterday that pretty much understands the vision in my head better then I do.  I'm sticking with neutral colors: blush, champagne, ivory, grey.

Crafty Christmas

In order to save money and being newly inspired by Pinterest I decided to make all (most) of my Christmas gifts and decor this year.  Also I needed some fun crafts to do with the kids at work so I was already looking things up online.  These are some of my first attempts...


Some turned out OK enough to give as presents but I'm hoping to be better at crafting by next year :)  The one thing that turned out amazingly cool was the window cling snowflakes and this picture does them no justice.  I hung them all over my kitchen window.  They are really simple and only require puffy paint and a ziplock bag.  Some of my younger kids had some trouble with this craft but the 9 and 10 year olds could easily do it and loved peeling them off the bags when they were dry the next day.

Good Book

My step mom gave me this book a few months ago and it has been sitting on my night stand, forgotten.  I picked it up last night, needing some insight into my Cody, and I have not been able to put it down.  I'm not even half way through and I already highly recommend!

                                               
                                This is a must-read for any dog lover.

2012

Cheers to 2012

                         
  So many exciting things coming up this year!!

Wedding Planning


Our Save-the-Date postcards turned out so cute.  I wish we could have Cody at the wedding but he is just too unpredictable.  Training him has turned out to be a huge challenge.  I guess that's why they call them "terrible terriers" :)



Our wedding venue is the L'Auberge Del Mar Hotel.  It was by far our first choice and we could not be more excited to have our ceremony and reception there!
