Sharing my random life is what I do best
Hi all,
So it’s that time of year again where my facebook feed gets littered with little elf on the shelf pictures. I personally don’t mind. I mean, we have our own lil’ bugger that shows her face around our house during the holidays. Meet Pixi.
Yup, you read that right. It’s a mini Polaroid ornament tree! *Cue the cute sounds* I first came across the mini Polaroid idea on Ambrosia Creative. I fell in puppy eye love with the idea of mini Polaroids! I mean honestly! THEY ARE ADORABLE! Anyways, ever since I bought my Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera (I know not a polaroid but close enough for now) I have been obsessed, snapping pictures any chance I get. Ask Chris, he is usually the subject of my mini obsession. Anyways, when I saw this magnet idea, I instantly thought ‘I can turn these into ornaments!’ Then the wheels started turning and next thing I knew I was printing, cutting, gluing and hanging cute little photos of our 2014 memories.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
From our family to yours, Happy Halloween everybody!
Check out our Carved Pumpkins!! Chris and I are pretty competitive people. Let us know which Pumpkin rocks your jack-o-lantern socks off!!!
Our house is a constant work in progress but Chris knew this when he bought it. When we first decided to redo our first foyer we knew we wanted it to be inviting, bright and kinda cool. So let me show you what we started with, this was an easy makeover.
No blog would be complete without a ‘during’ photo post. All that hard work and long nights that Chris and I put into it. I also learned a few things about rewiring lights and outlets. Chris is really handy when it comes to stuff like that.Read More
