house wife

I'm in love with this House Wife photo shoot by JUCO. I've always dreamed of being a house wife someday, (and of course, I've always imagined I'd wear pretty little dresses like these too!) so maybe that's why I like these photos so much - they convey so much softness and prettiness and are so feminine. I love the wardrobe styling.... oh so pretty!! Especially love the white dress in the first two photos. Oh and that green and yellow floral coverlet in those photos? *sigh*. The rest of the photo shoot is here. There's lots more lovely images!

I love you Mini Book by Ali Edwards. I made this book using her free download a few years ago and it is one of my favorite gifts I have eve made for someone! This is so perfect for a friend! When I made mine, I added a few pictures with it.


I Love You Garland by Lovely Indeed. You've probably already seen this, but I think it is sooo cute! love the red glitter. oh how I love glitter!.

Fruit Stickers by Twig and Thistle. I think these are the cutest things in the world! you can even print them off your-self?! how neat is that?

.
these cookies would look soo pretty packaged up really pretty to give to a neighbour or friend. And that pillow - *perfect* for my bed! ooh la la! Love that shade of red.

dreamy paper garlandi love you bowls

This garland looks like it would be pretty easy to make (or, of course buy!) It would look really nice above a bed or desk. I love that they combined a print with it instead of using just just pink and red. Okay, those bowls I think are my favorite find. I really really need those! Popcorn (or even ice cream) would taste soooo much better in a bowl like that! Don't you agree? Make a really nice gift for someone as well. ( hint hint!)

I think these things could and should be used all year round too...not just for this special occasion! what do you think?

More to come....

quote of the day

today

Hello February.

Today when I look out my window, this is what I see!! Isn't it beauutiful?!!! We're in the middle of a blizzard and oh is it so pretty! You can't even see down the street, and drifts are 3+feet high. Around here we hardly ever get much snow, if any at all so this is so fun! I'm dying to go out in it, but the wind is SO cold!

Sis, this picture is for you! I braved the cold for a few minutes to snap some pictures!

The snow/ice left pretty little patterns on the window! They're so intricate and beautiful! Only the Creator could do that!

Inside it's oh so cozy! I am working on a scrapbook project ( well, between looking out the window every 10 minutes!) and thinking about some Valentine projects I want to do. Thinking about making myself a cup of tea too. that sounds pretty good.

Am listening to this song today - it is so pretty!!




What are you doing today? From what I hear, quite a few places are getting hit with this storm...so I hope you are having a warm cozy day where ever you are!♥
