Love is in the air!!

It's everywhere, the red, the pink, the hearts......it's love!!! No sooner has Christmas left us and the stores are filled with Valentines décor and chocolates!! I love it!!! We aren't "hard-core" celebrators of V-day simply because we believe that you should show the ones you love EVERYDAY how much they mean to you, but we do like to get each other a lil' something cute and of course, I love to decorate!!!

   This year I did our mantle and made a really cute heart chain out of paper, but there was one project that I was really wanting to try and that was a felt heart garland. I saw the idea on Pinterest, and it looked quite simple so I had to try it!! All I needed was the felt, which I bought a the dollar store, some pom-poms (which I also bought at the dollar store), thread and needle, and my sewing machine!! It was so super easy and took no time at all!!! My only complaint is that it was a tiny bit flimsy because it is strung on just thread, but I imagine there is something else out there that would work a bit better!!!  I was thrilled with the final product! I had one naked mirror in my dining room that it was perfect for...and voila!!!... the finished product!! I think it looks great, don't you??

                                                                                       

2013 Musts!!

   Hello 2013 and good riddance 2012!!! Anyone else happy to have a new start?? I'm thrilled....it's time to get my butt in gear and start living a little!!

   I'm not a huge believer of making resolutions. I think that they are often silly and unachievable and can often set you up for failure and disappointment, so this year I've decided to have a "Must" list. It's just a lil' list that I've compiled for myself of things that I feel I must do, or must try, or must achieve..(you get the idea!!). I thought I'd share that list with you hoping that maybe it will inspire you to create a list, have goals but not feel like you have failed if you don't achieve them and maybe add a little bit of fun to your days!! Enjoy!!

My "Musts" for 2013.....(no pressure.....)
