happy monday.

happy monday! what are you doing on this fine and glorious day? are you enjoying the sun like i am? well, part sun. but still. its light. and thats what i will focus on. Gabby is here!! HOORAY!! its so fun having her visit! I literally feel like i have known her forever. (even though technically i have only hung out with her for a total of 5 days)Its just so fun having her visit.

I have been doing a shopping search today. internet window shopping that is. i have about six different websites with shopping carts loaded up and of course no money to buy them. but there is something exciting about picking the stuff out and putting in the cart. its almost like i have them....almost.

a few things i have stumbled on that i wish upon wish i could buy are:

this AMAZING plate! i want a set of four for dinner parties.

i have needed a rug for my bedroom for awhile. this one has stolen my heart. it may be a bit large for my room...but i could make it work....

i loooove these shoes. i bet they are the most comfortable shoes ever.

doesnt this look sooo tasty?

i dont know what it is about this painting. but i think it is sooo beautiful.


well. i hope your monday continues to be great!

precious. i am so in love with this band. they are a bit quirky...but i love them...

the cutest couple ever!

oh my goodness. this could be the most adorable couple ever!! this photo session makes my heart so very happy.

they exude love. its so obvious. love it!!

p.s. the picture of them laying down and the photographer shooting down on them. brian looks just like ryan reynolds!! seriously!

iceland video

this is so beautiful. how could anyone not want to live in iceland? its so magical. i mean, they leave airplanes lying around that make the landscape even more so haunting and wonderful.

let me tell you...i am quite in love with iceland.

a tea party event!

planning a party could very well be one of my favorite things EVER! I have a feeling i will be that mother that goes WAY overboard for my childrens birthdays. i just love picking a theme and going cra-zy!

so the latest party twould be iggy's. now i know that i am not even planning this, but i cant help but get excited. right now in front of me i have a list of things to track down for his party. i have already made a facebook event page with details and trying to get people to dress up. i am researching how to make an alice in wonderland dress for amelia.

and i just have so much fun.

mallory. i am so sorry if i am doing too much. i seriously will do nothing if you want to do this yourself. i know what its like to have someone take over a party. and i dont want to do that. but if you would like...i have several ideas...

*find tags and write "drink me" to attach to coca cola glass bottles or other beverage.
*find glass boxes at goodwill or serenity shops to place "eat me" cookies in.
*kassie volunteered to make "eat me" cupcakes for the party
*playing cards table place cards. saw these on amazon. thought they would be perfect!


this site is also giving me so many ideas!! so at this point i have sunday-tuesday off work mal. can we get together and start crafting some of this stuff?! i will help you make invitations to mail out. wouldnt that be so perfect?! i mean, i know we have the event page. but there is something about getting a hand written invitation that is so perfect. i will look at doodlebugs for stuff to make the invitations out of.

actually i am off to doodlebugs right now...ill price some things.


*UPDATE*
Doodlebugs is a hit!! there is so many things i saw in there that would be perfect!!

*bought tags for "drink me/eat me"
*have small($2.99) and medium($3.99) paint cans...PERFECT to fill with red paint and place around table.
*have clock hands ($4.99) which would go perfect on handmade clocks that read "tea time"
*metal keys and locks ($10.99) a bit steep. but it gave me great ideas...we need one key to place a tag on that says "open me"
*the PERFECT red envelopes for invitations($.39 ea.)


mallory. i am so ridiculously excited for this party. i cant even begin to tell you.
