first off. found this salt n pepper pair….for 62 cents. makes them even cuter. even though i don’t use salt and pepper that much…i still had to have them.
this weekend was a fun one! went to my niece’s 5th birthday party!
went out with the hubby to a benefit event and to support our friend bobby at the fashion show!
hung out with beautiful charissa AND got to wear my dress that i have owned for a few years and only worn twice now. success :)

some inspiration for the day….
[sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
i have a bunch of feathers i want to do something with…hmm. these pics are fun. although i can’t see myself walking around the grocery store with a bunch of feathers in my hair. but hey….it’d be fun. :)
~~~~~~~~~~
the girls and i tie dyed shirts today! well…i pretty much did most of it since there wasn’t enough gloves for them…and they were too big for them too…ha. i think i scared them from getting dye on their hands because i said it won’t come off for a loooong time. ;) didn’t really matter though because 3/4 of my fingers are blue and pink….hmm. can’t wait to see how they turn out!!
oh and this has been my fav snack of the week. i used to not cut my oranges this way….man have i been missing out. this is sooo much easier and tastes better i think. whatever works to get me eating more fruit. haha. oh and raspberries=all time fav fruit. :)
~~~~~~~~~~
this has been an interesting week, but i just want to say thanks for everyone! family, friends, followers, and readers. i am loving the love and the inspiration. so thanks! means a lot. i have a feeling the Lord is going to be working through my life even more these next several weeks. looking forward to that! going to see a play tonight! some of the youth are in it so i am excited to see what they have been working so hard on!…..**giveaway! :)

another knitting project to help me not forget how to do it. :) i am still learning!
i just started knitting…not really knowing what i was going to make. ha (this pic was from another camera so not the best color)
so then i decided my phone needed a comfy cover. i already have a case for my phone which does wonders, BUT i wanted something more fun/girlie/crafty. :) i was going to do this another way, but i liked how it turned out. gotta learn from experience some how. :)
after i knitted enough rows to fit my phone i folded it and added some stitching on the outside (i was going to fold it inside out but i like the decorative stitches)
i don’t know how to crochet (just yet) so i just braided some yarn instead and stitched it through the back and tada…nice lil closing.
this wouldn’t be complete without lil pom poms. here’s a lil how to. i made my uber small…but another lovely kristen @ domestifluff has an easy to follow pom pom tutorial too!
step 1: wrap around one finger [the bigger pom pom you want…the more fingers you can wrap around AND/OR the more times you wrap around your finger(s)]
step 2: slide it off your finger and tie another piece of yarn around the middle of the wrapped yarn.
step 3: cut the loops on both sides of the wrapped yarn.
step 4: fluff it up and trim to your liking. yay
step 5: i used the remainder of the middle tie yarn to tie around the end of the braids.
and yay. i think it turned out nicely. :)
love at first sight.
yes i am still in my warm robe. :)
***check out my giveaway!!! hope y’all have a fabulous thursday!!!

i had a few mini photo albums laying around. the ones that are nice….but a little boring in style. but if you are like me and have a kagillion pics already and do not need any more albums laying around then there’s so much more to these little albums.
here’s one of them. simple, textured, off white album. not bad. BUT i decided to make it more of a journal, verse jotting album instead. i started a new bible study on thursday nights and this way i can use this lil one to help me keep my fav verses in. so instead of pics i will use note cards.
i didn’t really have a theme in mind, but i thought i would use these fun silk leaves. oh and the hot glue gun does wonders.
one of my things i want to work on is praying…(i listed a few more from a past post too!) so i dedicated this album to prayer and fav verses, and also to remind me of certain things or people to pray about! so if you need any, let me know!! :)
throw in some lace and yarn and yay!
this is a great idea for those who are wanting to jot things down and keep it handy….in a cute little album. BUT these can be used for all sorts of favs like life quotes, movie quotes, fun jokes, even the daily to do lists.
this is the inside so far….blank…i know. gotta get started. i am so excited to use this little gem. AND it’s a beautiful day outside!!! so took my lil prayer book outside for some quiet time….and get my fill of vitamin D for the day. :)
what would you fill your mini photo album up with?!
