Happy March!

March really????

Last weekend was so super stressful. My poor little baby guy, Poncho, had to go to the emergency vet. He was having trouble breathing. Long story short, he stayed the night there on oxygen, has pneumonia, an inflamed heart and it has fluid around it. The fluid is most likely what caused the pneumonia. We go in this week for an ultra sound of his heart to see whats going on in there. The good news is he’s home now with full energy.

Ok Gen, Ann-Marie and I are starting our weekly challenges again. It’s a great way for us to get our creative juices flowing each week. Every Thursday we will post a challenge on our blog that the other girls will do. Each of us will post our take of the challenge on our own blogs.

I’m a little behind seeing I was going to post Thursday but was at the doggie er. Here’s my take on Ann-Marie’s challenge: The challenge was to get inspired by a music.

Gens Challenge was to use a non conventional scrap item on your layout. Here’s my take:

The polka dot paper behind the photo is actually a tissue. I knew I had been collecting cute tissues for a reason 🙂
Thursday I post mine so check back girls to see what I have in store.

P.S. If someone other than Gen or Ann-Marie want to play along feel free! Just post a comment with a link to your take below.

I must have this!

I was just perusing the internet for some inspiration when I came across this beauty.


Could it be anymore amazing?!?! I think not. One day I must have a pink oven! There’s just no other option. Found here

What I’ve been up to

On Valentines Day we went to Miguel’s in Coronado for the most amazing food I have ever tasted! After that we walked over to the beach to watch the sun set. I packed us chocolates and our favorite game. It was so romantic! I love him 🙂





This is my new ribbon holder. I bought it at Vignettes. Originally it was a greenish color so I sprayed it black to match my scrap room better.



My banner in the making


A sign I made for my party. I got the wood in my dads treasure pile 🙂


These are some frames I have been collecting for a collage above my fireplace. They are patiently waiting to be painted glossy white. Once I finish these things I will post pics. Have a wonderful day!

Coffee filters?

So I’m having a little party at my house in a few weeks and I wanted to make the decorations extra cute. I was thinking banners, garland, flowers, candles and tulle. Oh and I almost forgot glitter (it’s the most important)! So today when I was doing my usually blog checks I came across this goodness. What perfect timing! So I went to my local store that sells things in crazy portions and bought 1000 coffee filters. I’m thinking that should be enough. Don’t you think a little Glimmer Mist would suit these perfectly? I think it would make them so cute and add a little color!

Gotta love 1am blog posts

last night I couldn’t sleep. So I figured why not stay up until I’m super tired then go to bed. And what better to do at 1am than update my blog. Here’s a little project I’ve been working on.


Poncho just had to get in my picture (at least he’s cute)



Before we got married Jeff used to drive to my house every morning and leave a note on my truck. It was SO sweet! Well I saved all of them and wanted to make something cute to put them in.
