Craftiness in the Making

I've been addicted to a website called Pinterest.com. I get to go on this website and look at all the things that I can't even dream of making, cooking, living in, going to, and so forth (you get the idea). So, I decided to one up myself (if you can do that) and try to be crafty! This was my inspiration. Dustin hates it when I leave my make up out on the counter. I rarely do, unless I'm in a hurry to get to work, but to avoid this problem, this is my solution!

So we went on a hunt yesterday for a cute frame...we looked in several places, and could not find a single frame that would work. As we were leaving the last one, Dustin saw an old wash board someone had given to the store. He saw the potential in it right away (something that he's teaching me to do) and so we got it. He has already taken it apart for me to spray paint. I would've, but I knew that I would end up breaking it most likely, so I let him. It just needs to be sanded and spray painted! I'm rather excited to see how my first real craft turns out. Wish me luck!!!



He was making a face because I had him stop right before he started taking it apart so I could take a picture. :)

My Birthday

Can I just say...I have the most amazing husband! I thought he had kinda spaced my birthday a little bit. I wouldn't have blamed him at all with school starting and work and just life has been crazy, but he didn't. :) He had my presents, ordered from Amazon, and hidden somewhere in the house. (Who knew? Not me!) So, I came home from work that day, to a spotless apartment (it wasn't when I left) and flowers sitting on the counter. I was on the phone with my Dad when I came in and thought that Dustin was still on campus working (I thought he had done it earlier in the day in between classes), so I continued talking. As I was walking around the downstairs talking, I noticed his wallet and keys sitting on the bookshelves, so I quickly said goodbye and went to investigate. He was waiting, some what patiently, upstairs. We got ready to leave and went to dinner....at the CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!! My man really does love me. He wasn't exactly thrilled with the prices, but he still took me there. :) After the terrible traffic that we went through to get there, we finally got food! I sadly filled up on bread because I was STARVING when we got there, but I still ate my food (some of it that is). We got our cheesecake to go, and headed home. When we arrived, there was a plate of cookies sitting on our door step for me. I didn't think anyone here would remember, but our super nice neighbors, Amy and Scott, did. I had to find my presents when we got inside. It's a good thing our living room is so small, because that's the only hint I got...that they were in the living room.


My gorgeous flowers!


Proof that he took me here. :)


I'm trying to work on my craftiness...so he got me the book I wanted.


Rio! I am just so excited. I loved this movie when we first saw it.
