Crafting is my Thing!

Lately, a lot of my time has been put into crafting AND I absolutely LOVE it!!!! I have enjoyed it quite a bit too. It all started last year. I decided I wanted to start making my daughters bows because it is definitely cheaper than buying it in the store. My love for making bows started to grow into wanting to experience crafting with other things.

So far I've made Bows, a tutu, our fall wreath, and Breast Cancer Ribbons for all the women at our church. It has definitely been a great experience and it also shows me that I have more to me than I thought.

Sometimes we limit ourselves to one thing or we think that we are only capable of being wives, mothers, friends, or to do that one thing that everyone has boxed us into doing but I learned just through my experience with crafting is that we have so much to offer this world. We forget about our creative side and what we could actually do if we just sat down and learned.

Hey, Being a SAHM has its perks:) I have been able to do a lot and I can't wait to do more!

Follow me along for the Journey,

Here is a picture of the wreath:

Mallorie will be ONE in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby girl is approaching her 1st Birthday and I am having mixed emotions. The sweetest baby in this world is  growing up right before my eyes. The crazy thing is that since she's been teething these last few weeks I have been able to cuddle with her and rock her to sleep. It seems as if she's a baby all over again and I am enjoying every bit of it.

I am not letting these precious times and memories pass me by, I am soaking it all in and enjoying every minute of it. I keep telling Mel that I just had her last year and now she's talking, walking, getting attitudes, when she can't have her way and she's eating anything she can put in her mouth on.

I love her with everything in me and I am so excited about the years to come:)

I have so many party ideas... Pretty in pink, An Owl theme, or a Fall "non-scary" Halloween 1st Birthday. I just can't seem to make up my mind but whatever I do, I will definitely post pictures.

I LOVE YOU MALLORIE VICTORIA:)

Our Vow Renewal....

I was going to title this blog "I'm Back" but I already have 2 of those so I decided to blog, like I never stopped. I've been gone for 7 months  and I have definitely missed blogging! So much has happened so I'll start with this one.

As you can see on my last post in March I created the a SavetheDate with Shutterfly for our vow renewal. The day came on July 14th and it was the most stressful, adventurous, happiest days of my life. Me and Mel were married on June 22, 2007 but we eloped and never had an actual ceremony and decided to have one on our 5th year wedding anniversary. It was simply amazing.... There were some things that I wasn't satisfied with or should I say didn't turn out the way I wanted it too but overall it was really the best day of my life. Our colors were Platinum, Ivory, Yellow, and Black. It came out perfect. Simply Beautiful. I will post pictures to let them speak for itself. To top it off we wore yellow converse for the reception and everyone loved it. Mel wore charcoal gray and I wore an Ivory Galina Signature gown from David's Bridal. The collar on my dress was "killa" HA! Below you will see pictures of our day.... Enjoy:)
