Girls being Girls

After work yesterday I met my good friend Dawn downtown for Happy hour at Sazerac's. We like Sazerac's because they have a pretty cheap happy hour and it includes these amazingly delicious truffle cheese potato balls which we normally order 2 plates of!

We decided to share a bunch of Tapas and Finger foods because we couldn't decide what to order.

We ordered

- 2 orders of Potato Truffles

- Spinach Leek Dip

- Sour dough grilled cheese

- Cheeseburger sliders

- Mixed spiced nuts

- Turnip soup

- Sweet potato fries

Does that look like a lot of food? because it was!!!!

After we couldn't eat another bite we headed out down the street to Bed, Bath and Beyond because we had a gift certificate to share from Dawn winning a prize with my amazing Jelly fish costume!

We walked around the entire store before we chose the same item - a beautiful teal scarf. I also found a laptop case for my computer for only $7!

Then, we walked back to Dawn's car to head home.

We chatted and enjoyed the pure girl time - and watched an out of control driver nearly flip his car on 509!

It was such a great night hanging out, so we've decided to do it more often (after pay day of course).

Thanks for the great night Dawn... and because I know you're reading this HI JULIAN!!!

:) Me.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
