Ok so this DIY is a total rip-off of my DIY Faux ‘Beaded’ Indian Beaded Bracelet, same concept just applied differently…I guess I am just flattering myself by copying it 🙂 So this whole husband working nights has really freed up some time for me.

There really is nothing like a handmade card. Such a special little treat when you open up an envelope and you see this little piece of crafty heaven. Someone made it with their own two hands. It is like getting a chunk of the love chocolate bar via the post. And giving a handmade card? … Read more
Ballard, oh Ballard. How I love thee. Not much as I love my much beloved Anthropologie… but dear you come in a close second. Tons of great home decor accessories at not-so-great prices.

What is it with me and earrings lately? I guess it is because I want to wear them so badly but can’t. Those of you that have babies, or have ever babysat know what I am talking about.
