Updates!

Here's a brief update from the last year+ and then I'll dive right back into all the fun projects that have filled the days!

 I turned 24!

Spent a lot of time hiking & enjoying the outdoors.

Took the annual trip to see my college friends!

Co-hosted a DIY Great American Beer Fest! Fun way to try a lot of different beers!

Moved into a new house with three other roommates & celebrated Christmas all together.

On New Year's I started a mason jar full of funny & great memories. It's so much fuller now!

Hosted a DIY Sipping & Painting party!

Celebrated these two getting engaged (& have been planning the wedding ever since)! :)

Went to Alaska.

Ran a half marathon!

Enjoyed the outdoors more.

Got bangs again.

& turned 25!

Okay, now onto the crafts ;)

Lately

Friday Family time during Lent: FISH

Found these lovely shoes. They were a bit too small, so I used the fill  shoes with a bag of water & freeze idea to stretch.
It worked a bit, only the bag popped while freezing & the shoes came out solid blocks of ice. HA!

Pork chops with yellow peppers & good company at a small table.

Neon dyed Easter eggs!

Sweets! This cherry chip cupcake was my first indulgence after giving up sweets for Lent.

Easter glow. Beautiful weather!

Easter dress picture + floating orb between us.

Sassy Hunter sticking his tongue out!

Easter was wonderful. Mass at the Basilica, breakfast + chess, baked brie, family time (total head count, 41 people & 2 dogs), & Life the bored board game.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, remember the party is still going! Happy Easter Monday!

Hello, friends!

'Twas a week filled with joyful memories of my weekend in Omaha. Reminiscing with college friends is therapy for any aching soul! We had so much fun. I took a grand total of 12 pictures because (brilliant me) brought the camera with a dead battery & no charger. Hoops. 

You'll see those pictures soon & get a proper update in time. I am headed to the mountains this weekend, out of town again. Next weekend I head to Philadelphia & then it's Thanksgiving. Busy times around here! 

Not to mention, I'm crafting my bones out getting ready for a craft fair! Let me know if you have any tips or advice for this little novice!

Have you seen my mottos? I went to the grand opening of H&M in Denver yesterday with my sister & this rule was broken by far too many chickadees out there. Ladies, as if our men weren't tempted enough... please just wear some pantaloons! Thanks!

I'll leave you with a picture of the Cathedral Basilica from this morning. I tried to go to confession at 6:30am & I was booted because Father had to get ready for mass. That's life, though! Note to self: be punctual!

Unedited & with a wee cell phone camera. Yep, it looks that good with a bad camera.

Have a fruitful weekend,
