Gold, Valentines, and Bubble Baths

Hello Blogosphere!

Here I am, Saturday night, 11:00, blogging. That should be an indication of how my life has been lately. I'm here to fill you in on the gaps, but first I wanted to tell you have excited I am that it is February. Why, you may be wondering? Well, I consider February a weird month. First, look at how it is spelled. Second, it feels like summer, isn't it still winter? Third, the Superbowl is tomorrow and the Oscars are coming up soon! [And that's they exciting part] I am excited to watch and analyze the ads and critique the red carpet fashion.

So, this is what my life has looked like lately.

I am officially a Starbucks gold member! I've been working on this for 3 years. 

Bri and I finally had our craft day. We made Jade shadow boxes!

And I made some Valentines. [ I love Valentines day]

 

This is the Valentines day card I made for Pib. [Pib: My Boyfriend]

He doesn't read my blog, so it's safe to post this soon. :]

My new thing is relaxing. With bubbles, books, candles and beverages.

               Flea Marketing and Starbucking. :]

 And this has been taking up so much of my time, but I have loved every minute of it! I am helping coordinate the Hill City Polar Plunge Festival, which will take place, February 25th from 11-2pm. This is a festival full of family fun, live music and more. I have been working with my team of lovely ladies, below. I'll post more about it once the event happens! But, it has been exciting and I am so lucky to be working with the Special Olympics Virgina! 

Now I am off to bed blog world! Hopefully I will see you again sooner rather then later! I know I will want to post at least one more Valentines Day post before it passes! 

Love from,

Shadow Box

Have any of you made a Shadow Box before? This was my first time- and i LOVE how it turned out! I'm such a scrapbook type of girl, so i love the idea of preserving pictures, and items from a particular moment together, and making it cute!

Here's mine:

Tyler gave me flowers for valtines day. I was going to throw them away,
but my roomates told me to keep them. So, I put them in here. I think they add alot of texture.. I'm glad I kept them.

I cut out the brackets out of a cardboard stencil... I said forget the stencil and glued them on,
I think it adds a nice frame around the center point picture.

Those letters were on sale for 30 cents at Target. So, I had to get them.
They worked perfect with the colors and pictures I had!

I think thas my favorite pic.  That's why I did it in black and white. To make it stand out more.
I'm not a big fan of the jewels. But I wanted to give it a 'girly touch' :]. When its all together, I like them a little more.

TA DA! The final product.

So, That's my shadow box.
Show me yours!
