Just a little sleepy

Because today I am feeling extra sleepy!  Gotta get over the hump day.  And I wish someone would hold me until I start snoozin'.

Robin's Monogram Nest

So the fabulous Robin decided she would come over to the BRIGHT side and purchased a Silhouette with lots of pretty vinyl!  Once she got into it, she realized how amazing it is - and took it a step further - she is a total entreprenuer and opened her own Etsy Shop!  I think that is pretty awesome.  She has even talked me into starting my own :)  I am literally in the middle of getting it all straight.  My shop name is The Pretty Pink Sink and it's going to be full of hairbows!  Thanks to our sweet Abby girl, I have mastered (kind-of) the art of making a simple hairbow.  I really hope to make enough money to cover my supplies and hopefully have a little extra to try out a few different Pinterest project ideas.  I'll keep you posted!  And a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Robin for being a rockstar!

There's a monster in the closet

A sweet girl who works with me, Andrea, is having a baby boy - Reed!  We had her shower last week, so I made her/him a diaper cake!  Since we are a little short on dough, I did some searching and found this adorable monster bath towel, and it was just right!  Isn't this thing so sweet!?  Imagine a precious little boy wrapped up... even cuter!

Happy Hump Day

Just a cute little something to make your day brighter & to get over the mid-week hump! xoxo

Squeaky Clean!

I just have to share the MAGIC that occured to our stove recently.  I had read on Pinterest that you can put your stove grates in ziploc bags with 1/4 cup of ammonia & leave overnight outside and in the morning - VOILA! they are clean!  I was a bit skeptical, but now I'm a believer.  It was seriously magic, and beyond easy!  Look at the results...

Before - nasty and all gunky

After - beautiful!

Hokie Football

So Labor Day was the start of the best time of year - Hokie Football!  We had our first game against Georgia Tech... and despite our offense having a rough start, we pulled out a W in overtime!

This year for September I decided to decorate my mantle VT style.  I'm super happy with how it turned out!  For the letters, I just painted them maroon, cut out orange letters, and mod-podged them on!  I think I spent about $8 total on the whole mantle :)

Tailgatin'!  Abby's first brewski

Such a sweet grin!

All this tailgating makes for a sleepy girl

Soon I will show you a few pictures of Abby's SIX MONTH photo shoot!  First and foremost - how has six months already flown by!?  Second, it is the absolute most adorable thing ever.  Kisses & Go Hokies <3

Love is in the Air

.... we have been to 4 weddings total since June!  That's lots and lots of love!!  We are thrilled for everyone that is jumping into the amazing ocean called marriage.  Last night we had a blast celebrating Megan & Pete!  Congratulations to a beautiful couple :)

And as you all know.... our money tree had all it's leaves fall, so we had to be real creative & thoughtful for Megan & Pete's wedding gift.  Fortunately for us, Megan is such an awesome friend and we know she will be thrilled with anything we do!  I decided to do some glass etching... and Katie informed me they are beer enthusiasts, so I did two wine glasses and two beer mugs - they turned out beautiful!  And thanks to Robin for hooking me up with free fonts to choose from!

$1 wine glass and $1.97 beer mug

I'm in love with the newest way to wrap presents - brown paper and letters cut out with my silhouette!
