Miscellaneous

Tools needed: traceable heart shape – google images, candy hearts – any grocer, hot glue gun – craft stores, shadow box frame – Target 9$ {I used 12×12 size}, thumb tacks – craft stores/most grocers, card stock {same size as shadow box} – craft stores
1. Trace your heart image {I printed one off google images} onto your card stock.
2. Starting along the outside, glue your candy hearts until you reach the middle. {I put a hidden message under my hearts which is totally optional}
3. Once your heart shape is complete, secure the candied card stock to the back of the shadow box with the thumb tacks. {you may need to press hard depending on thickness of the back of your shadow box}
4. If needed, use needle nose pliers to bend down the sharp remainders of the thumb tacks.
5. Hang and enjoy!

weekend update – a first time for everything

January 16, 2012

Miscellaneous

We started off the weekend with me finally convincing my husband to go skiing. I have skied for over 10 years and my husband, who I have been with for almost 5 years now has never gone with me, or even been. With much persuasion I finally got him to agree to come with. He kept saying how nervous he was {this is strange for Camden because he’s usually the adventure seeking, sports engaging one in our relationship} I kept telling him he would be surprised and that he would have fun! On the way up the lift on the first run he was totally freaking out but he mastered his fear and made it down to the bottom alive where he turned to me and said “WHO ARE YOU?” “I didn’t know you could really ski!” {you would be right to guess that at most sports I am a bit awkward and this is why my “skiing skills” took him by surprise} We ended up skiing for a couple of hours stopping about half way through to grab some lunch and a much needed cup of hot chocolate .
Later in the weekend I colored my sisters hair. She saw the post on Melted Hair Color and decided that it would fit her style. I think she was right. {she’s so cute anything would fit her style!}
We finished are weekend with root bear floats, which was just one of my many cravings this weekend, and watching multiple episodes of the English car talk show Top Gear{it’s my husband’s favorite!}. Our weekend was properly good and that said I can’t wait until the next!

fashion spotlight – alexa chung

January 13, 2012

The model / TV host / fashion icon , Alexa Chung has a style that is all her own worthy of a fashion spotlight. With her never ending legs and boyish flare, Alexa is one of my favorite fashion go-to’s when I need a little inspiration. She makes clothes look easy and messy hair look done. {notice the melted hair color she rocks so fabulously!} She shows that throwing just about anything together can work as long as you wear it well. I also love that she isn’t afraid to wear the same thing twice. {lets be honest who can say they haven’t?} Keep an eye on this fashion guru, only great things to come!
