I hope to get some blogging done on my day off tomorrow, but for now, a few things to show you!
Just discovered The White Dress Shop. Check out the site and blog. Loving for this new top!
My friend, photographer Lori Barbely is launching her new site and logo today! Go check her out! Love that gal!
View Master invitations… WOW. Would love to do something like this! How amazing.
My fellow managers at work have been more than accommodating since I came on board. I started my job while pregnant, and they have always been easy on me, especially as I got further into the pregnancy and had no energy. After my 6 weeks of maternity leave, I started back on a Sunday, and by Wednesday, they were having to do huge favors again. We flipped the management rotation schedule upside down, because Harper was admitted to the hospital for surgery. Once all was well, I went back to work with thank-you baskets in tow!
I wanted to take them all Starbucks gift cards, but was really strapped for cash, so I made budget-friendly gift baskets!
The ingredients:
The Steps:
1. Eat several pieces of chocolate. Allow fiance to take a few pieces of the best kind, Milky Way Midnight.
2. Open a beer.
3. Okay, time to get down to business. Fill bins with chocolate, scatter lollipops throughout, and toss in gum and Pop Rocks.
4. Scour house to find materials for making tags.
5. Come up with some unopened alphabet stamps, old half-dry ink pad, silver envelopes, and cheap markers belonging to a small child.
6. Disassemble envelopes, then trim off triangles. Fold the square in half to form a tent.
7. Open stamps to discover that they are not cut apart. Cut the rubber apart with a razor, grumbling the entire time about buying cheap craft supplies.
8. Stamp the words “Thank you for being so” onto each tag (disassembled envelopes).
9. Use cheap Rose Art markers (purchased by Grammy. I only buy Crayola) to write in names and the word “sweet.”
10. Place tented tags over edge of basket. Done!
Total cost: ~$15 for 3 baskets!
*yeah, I know… awful photos. Give me a break. I was drinking beer and working with awful lighting.
