Busy, busy, busy...

Happy Friday, lovely ladies!!

I've taken yet another little hiatus even though I promised I wouldn't..and I am so terribly sorry. I don't where all this busy-ness keeps coming from! Seriously...every time I blink another thing is inadvertently added to my to-do list. I'm working everyday, moving back into my apartment for school on Sunday, and trying to keep this house clean and have time to exercise and watch as much of the Olympics as I possibly can! 

SO. MUCH.

And sadly, that doesn't leave a lot of time for blogging :(

But today, I woke up determined to make time for it so I'm doing my first ever link-up with Ashley over at Adventures of Newlyweds for..

Here we go!

Dear Nora Roberts, your amazing novels are what get me through my very long, and often boring, work days at the ice cream shack. Thank you for being such a great author and always finding a way to tie in a little mystery and suspense with your love stories. 

My most recent read. You have to check it out..amazing!

Dear Bumblebee Sensations Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Tuna, I just love you. Everything about you. Until a couple weeks ago I had always been skeptical about tuna, but I've never turned down anything sun-dried tomato and basil flavored so I just had to try you when I saw you and you didn't let me down. You are lunch...everyday. Along with your brothers Lemon Pepper and Spicy Thai Chili. 

Dear super cute, super sweet, and super great guy in my dream last night, I don't have the slightest clue who you are..but please make yourself known. Because when you were carrying me on your shoulders last night and rammed my head into the doorframe, it was super adorable how apologetic and caring you were afterward. (Yes, I realize how creepy this sounds -- but I've told y'all before..I have very weird and detailed dreams)

Dear crafting, you have been the only source of calm the past couple weeks and I am so excited to put all of the things we created together in my apartment when I move back in! 

I like to call this "50 Shades of Blue"

Planning to put these over my bed!

Please excuse the Instagram screen shot. She was still asleep this morning and I knew she wouldn't send me the picture from her phone ;) Love you, Jo.

Anyway, we made these for each other to put in our apartments! 

"Be the one to guide me, but never hold me down."

Dear running shoes, even though I've had you for almost a month now..I'm still so obsessed with you. Your colors, your weight (or lack thereof), and your all-around awesomeness. Please don't ever wear out on me.

Dear canteloupe, I just cannot get enough of you. I hated you up until this past year, and now I have a mini panic attack if we don't have any in the fridge. I apologize for the 19 years of happiness that we missed out on. :( Here's to enjoying the next 70!

And that's all I've got for today! I am luckily off work today thanks to my lovely co-worker Jen, but I have a million + 1 things to do so I'm off to get started.

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend, y'all!! xo

 

 

Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday #2

Good morning, y'all!

Hope your Wednesday is treating you absolutely fabulous so far :)

I, on the other hand, not so much.

In the library from 7pm to 430am last night/this morning = one tired chick.

this picture was taken 2 years ago on the way to a softball game..but you get the point.

So, therefore this post is going to be full of pictures and hardly any words. My brain is restricted to only minimal functioning at the moment. 

Linking up with Michelle over at The Vintage Apple for...

 

My inspiration: DIY and all things crafty

Enjoy! 

easy, simple, cute, and very useful. BRILLIANT. - via

 

line a cookie sheet with scrapbook paper = instant magnetic board - via

 So chic, so clever. And if you thrift around a little bit for a cheap cookie sheet (e.g TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or maybe even Goodwill) this could most definitely be much cheaper than buying a magnet board from Target/Michaels. 

so elegant and simple - via

Jars, yarn, spray paint, and ribbon. That's it. Much cheaper than something you would similarly find at Pier 1 or Target and it's just as fashionable.

garden rake head for holding long necklaces - via

 Love the rustic and antiqued feel of this. And it's super convenient. No more tangled necklaces! 

paperclips and ribbon = super stylish bookmark - via

 Tie a piece of ribbon on a paperclip....BAM. Instant bookmark. You're welcome.

magnetic strip inside your medicine cabinet/bathroom cupboard for bobby pin storage - via

 AND

old tic-tac container for storing bobby pins in your purse/car - via

  

Why hadn't I ever thought of these things?!

What have you been pinning lately? Will you be trying any of these crafty ideas? Let me know and then head on over to see Michelle at The Vintage Apple and link-up!

Enjoy your Wednesday afternoon, lovelies! 

We're halfway to the weekend ;) xo
