Wedding Decor- DIY Fabric Flowers

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Everyone was amazed by the bouquets and decor. Special shout out to my family and bridesmaids for all the help. Enjoy!

Each petal of every flower was hand cut, curled, and glued!

(Can you say carpal tunnel?)

Valentine "I love you a bot"

Just a little figurine I pieced together from odds and ends found at Michaels and Home Depot. I used hot glue to attach all pieces but recommend a stronger adhesive. Isn't he cute?

Project Life 2013 Week 22-The End! (Finally)

Procrastination is my strongest talent! It's so sad. Anyways, here's the last couple weeks of my 2013 album. Still catching up majorly on 2014!

Recent Reading Round Up!

Well I am 12 books closer to my goal of 100 for the year, and I found some real gems this time around...

 

THE STORY: Colin Singleton has been dumped 19 times, each time by a girl named Katherine.  So he sets out on a journey to explain the phenomenon mathematically, and also to find himself.

This one was by far my favorite this time! First of all, I love John Green! There is seriously something wrong with you if you can't appreciate this man's ability to tell a story!  I fall in love with every one of his characters and this time was no exception.  It was also one of the very few books I've read that actually made me laugh out loud!  I mean really laugh.  All I will say is the "fight scene"...HA! Definitely pick this one up and give it a chance.  You won't regret it.

THE STORY: A girl named Mira runs away from home to a place called Beau Rivage where she discovers that she has been cursed in the way of Sleeping Beauty!

I love all things fairytale and this was no exception.  It had a cool modern take and delved into the stories that aren't often told ( I won't reveal which as it could be considered a spoiler if you know the tale!).  There was a seriously dark edge to it but also plenty of happily ever after to go around.  Exactly my cup of tea!

THE STORY: A group of misfit teens battling their own demons come together to fight and to make the most of their time spent in a mental health facility.

This one was full of quirky loveable characters and absolutely ridiculous but seriously entertaining events.  If you love all things wacky as I do, this one is for you!  Though crazy as it was, it touched on a lot of very important issues.  I am all about spreading awareness for the battle that people with mental illness face.

THE STORY: A girl with extraordinary psychic abilities finds herself at a school where she is surrounded by students with similar talents.  It appears that fate has intervened, especially when she falls for a mysterious boy who is so not what she expects.

I, like the main character, was thrown for a loop here.  To avoid spoilers, let's just say I did not expect the boy to be what he turned out to be.  There are two more in the series and I'm still debating whether to continue or not (in fact I've had the second book from the library collecting dust in my room for a bit now).  I am a total sucker for love stories though, and especially the fantasy ones, so I'll probably read the rest.  The strong female characters were a nice element too!

And now of course to satisfy my smut addiction!

The concept of hate/love is one I think many readers will enjoy, here.  It was refreshing!  No weak females or co-dependent males in this story!  Chloe is an absolute bitch and I love it and I totally hated Bennet...in the very very beginning that is...

If you're looking for a guilty pleasure and some quick easy reads these are gold right here.  Christina Lauren is one serious kick-ass duo!

I'm not sure how I feel about this trilogy overall.  It was very much like Fifty Shades and its many successors.  The underlying story lines were pretty disturbing at times, but I do love a couple who defies all odds to be together!

HAPPY READING FOLKS!
