Slowing down.

I'm busy most of the time.
This week has been really busy, but I think I noticed it more than usual because I'm fighting a terrible cold combined with allergies. Ew.
This weekend, however, I will relax! I am so excited that we're going over to Caro to spend time with Jordan's family this weekend. I heard his Grandpa is grilling out and I was hooked. I love to grill and I love family. They're both favorites. So what could be better than both of those things together?

Can't wait for this weekend.

Also - tonight some of my favorite ladies and I are driving to the closest Chick-fil-a. It's several hours away, so we're making a cute little road trip out of it an taking some tunes!

So many fun things to look forward to!

DIY Stamps

Drinking: Water
Listening: Hugo

I shared a list of craft items that I've purchased recently in this post. Well, I was able to bust #4 out of the packaging and put it to goo use this weekend! I love love love my speedball cutter. I was able to squeeze some craft time in this weekend and make some tags for the tons of cute packages I'm always giving and sending.

I used:
-Stamps from the dollar store
-Speedball carver
-Stamp pad
-Cardstock
-Paper cutter

Combined with my tools and a little imagination I was able to carve some cute basic stamps. I love them! They'll work perfect as a simple "Thank you" or "Happy Birthday!" tag on a gift. 

Do you guys have any experience in making your own stamps? If so I would love to see your pictures! Link below!

Family Weekend

This is my new family. They're in town for the weekend and I am so excited to do some stuff with them! My mum + sibs lives 8 minutes down the road (I still don't see them enough), but Jordan and I rarely get to see his family. They live over in the thumb.

We're happy today. And I love that feelings.

Google+ Comments

Don't be alarmed.

I just added Google+ comments to the blog. I think it will be a fun way to connect with you all. I'll admit, it took me a while to be okay with Google+, but I think it's a really great social network for Bloggers - so I've become more fond of it.

Nothing has changed, though. I just wanted to all to know.

Happy Saturday!
