life made lovely: march 21, 2010

i can't believe the weekend is already over. again! 

it always goes by so quickly.

in order to keep my self free from the end of weekend blues, i'm cranking up the bruno mars 

{yes....i'm kind of addicted} 

and trying to look forward to the exciting things ahead of me for this week!

[[like my new yoga class tonight! yayyy!]]

fake it till you make it right??

sunday afternoons are perfect for getting your scrap on, and i took full advantage of it.

a couple of birthday cards,

and a just because getting mail is fun cards.

{who doesn't love some old fashioned snail mail?}

i think this last happy birthday card is my favorite of them all.

have i mentioned how much i love my amy butler scrap pad?

it just can't do any wrong.

life made lovely: march 15, 2010

good morning world!

even though it is dark and cold and stormy outside,

and i would much rather be snuggled up in my warm, comfy bed with a cup of coffee and my [guilty pleasure, super duper cheesy] book,

i am at work [i mean.....yayyy work!!].

but,,,eeeek!
i am so excited to share something lovely with you!

:)

as i mentioned yesterday, i purchased my very first xyron machine!
that, combined with my beautiful new amy butler scrap pad,
pretty much put my into a paper-lovin coma!

i parked myself on my living room floor,

turned on "give them something to talk about",

and got my scrap on.

of all the cards i made yesterday, i think the one below is my favorite.

and i hope you find it lovely as well!

.

and here it is in the set:

i am going to try and start putting life back into my etsy shop, so please stop by every now and again to see what i've managed to cook up!

[[check me out!]]

i'm linking up to life made lovely from blessed little nest. :)

life made lovely: march 7, 2011

the other day while meandering my way through target, i came across a set of magnetic letters.

you know the kind i'm talking about right?

the super cheap plastic ones with the barely magnetic magnet on the back?

the ones that are in  
bright happy colors
that you'd use to spell out words and messages to your mom while she was making dinner?

[am i the only one who did that??]

well i found some of those on the clearance racks, 

and let me tell you,

i snatched those suckers right up!

although i probably should have spent the extra $1 and gotten magnets that are actually strong enough to hold up things on my fridge, 

i'm very glad i threw practicality to the wind,

because yesterday i found this:

and that is why my life is lovely. : )
