Ooh! Look! Shiny!

Fireworks! Ooh! So pretty!

(This is not a way to try to make you forget how I've been a bad blogger recently. Nope! Not at all! I would not resort to such trickery!)

Shower favors

I wanted to show you something I've been working on recently. This is actually the real reason why I made the chalk board pins the other day.

I'm helping organize a bridal shower for my friend and the shower is today. I know she's at least aware of my blog and I'm sure she's dropped by a few times, so I didn't want to mention anything. Imagine me spilling the beans on the surprise shower over in a blog and her finding out that way.

These are the favors I made for the shower. There's 36 of them ready to go for today. I'm sscheduling this post for when the shower has started, just to be on the safe side. You can never be too cautious.

I'll show you more photos later!

I can't tell you how in awe I still am. I saw the muppets live yesterday. Seriously. Live

That is all.

A quick DIY and tutorial - plant markers

I finally got around trying something I've been wanting to get to for a while. I made reusable plant markers. This was a super easy and quick project, all you need is blackboard paint and some clothes pins.

The pins I got were bamboo pins, but I don't see why you couldn't use any kind you want. The only requirement is that there's a flat surface you can write on.

Line up your pins and add the paint. I used spraypaint and did 2-3 coats on each side. So the work itself is really fast, but you need adequate time in between coats to make sure it's dried. Follow the instructions on the paint can.

Once the pins are dry, use regular chalk to write the name of the plant and you're done.

So, what do you think? I'm going to use these all over the place, not just for the plants. You could use these in the pantry too, mark the date you opened a bag or something... What would you use them for?

Random fish

Hello there!

I'm sorry I missed a post yesterday. I've been a bit occupied recently. I've been working on a few more projects. I've had a few meetings. I've been on the phone a lot and been doing a lot of planning. Somehow it's just been a mind-occupying week. I just felt like I had nothing good to share.

Actually, I've had a lot of topics I've wanted to write about, but I feel like my mind has been elsewhere. Just quite occupied with 15 million other things. So, I decided to not spam the blog with total scatterbrain posts.

I've been studying about healthy eating...

No, don't leave! I won't make this into a health food, exercise, other boring stuff blog, I promise!

...I've been working on a plan to drop a couple of pounds, so I've been occupied with that. I've made granola bars and some granola. I've looked into general nutrition. And I've been jogging.

But I've made crafts too! And sent some mail! Oh! and I found some really awesome retro-looking stickers. That's pretty happy, no?

I just wanted to let you guys know I'm here and working! I'll get into a groove again soon.

What's new with you?
