Savoring the Sweetest Parts of Life
I have a new favorite thing to do. When I flip through my planner and see any upcoming birthdays/happy occasions coming up, I instantly make a note to browse Etsy for a card instead of adding it to my on-going shopping list. I love cards, I love brick and mortar stationary shops–as well as the card aisle at Target–but I have only found (and received!) truly unique cards from Etsy sellers. Hey Y’all Postcard — I recently sent these to 5 different bloggers all around {Read More}
Today is my childhood best friend’s birthday! Kelsey turns 25 and now is oh-ficially a member of the “25 and older” club. She was really dreading the big two-five, but I have a feeling it’ll grow on her. I decided to put her together a little gift box of sorts. Nothing special, just tiny gifts from the heart, i.e., the best kind. What’s inside? Kelsey recently learned how to crochet and I have been trying to pick up the skill {Read More}
If you’re like me – you’ll do whatever it takes to make a seemingly-ordinary gift unforgettable and special. In this post I talked about a wedding gift I recently gave to a good friend of mine that included a cookbook (Dinner: A Love Story by Jenny Rosenstach). To make the cookbook a little bit more unique, I created a bookplate using some clear Avery labels I had in my craft stash and Illustrator. The step-by-step DIY is below! Before you {Read More}
My best friend got married last weekend and it was a pretty epic experience. I thought I’d share my gift to the happy couple, as weddings are definitely an opportunity for those close to the bride and groom to be extra-thoughtful. Here’s an interesting twist on a kitchen-themed gift. Sometimes I really have a problem purchasing frivolous gifts. Call me old-fashioned, but I like buying gifts that will be used and hopefully treasured over time. That’s not too much to {Read More}
Shelton’s Christmas party was last Friday and everyone participated in a gift exchange. The cap was $10, which is not a lot to work with, but I was determined to stay on budget. After browsing in Walgreen’s for half an hour, I decided upon a “movie night” themed gift. I think this would be perfect for ANYONE. Girls, boys, young, old, nieces, nephews, you name it! Here’s the breakdown: Redbox Promo Codes – 5 codes for $6 from www.redbox.com/gifts 3 {Read More}
I don’t know are aware of this or not… but I love to plan. Earlier this year a former supervisor of mine named Tiffany (whom I adore) came to a staff meeting with the fanciest planner I had ever seen… It was all downhill from there. Or uphill, if you’re an optimist like me! Tiffany introduced me to the colorful, organized world of Erin Condren – and I decided that I had to have one of her Life Planners. The price {Read More}
Shelton is, hands down, the most amazing thing in my life. He is always being wonderful and constantly makes me feel loved, appreciated and special. We’re not religious by any means, but I can never pass up an opportunity to do something sweet for him. Literally. So, given the season, the Easter bunny visited him. What? You don’t think Astroglide isn’t an appropriate Easter gift? You obviously don’t know us very well then. Shelton’s favorite cookie: white chocolate macadamia nut! {Read More}
Every girl needs a signature jewelry piece, or pieces, even. For years now I’ve worn the same three pieces of jewelry: simple earrings I got as a last minute college graduation gift, a necklace from Tiffany’s, and a little bracelet from Blue Nile. Well, the earrings irritate me these days, the necklace is still a staple, and last week my bracelet broke. I think it’s time for a couple new pieces. When I saw this necklace from amandadeer, I knew {Read More}
