An Owl of a Celebration!!!

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

I just knew that Becky would put together an amazing owl filled birthday party for Abrielle! From the owl cake to the fun DIY photo booth, it was a beautiful and creative party and everyone loved it...especially the birthday girl! Check out the amazing details...


(cake made by a professional...but the wood cake stand was made by a family member!)

Happy Leap Day Birthday!!

Friday, February 24, 2012

My best friend's daughter turns 4 on Leap Day this year...well actually 1! Before she was born I never knew anyone who was born on Leap Day! She is so smart, adorable, lovable, and so beautiful!! She is having an owl themed birthday party...you know I'm excited!!! I love owls and so does Abrielle and her mommy! Her mom (Becky) is so creative with scrapbooking, DIY, and card making, she's the one who always helps me with my cards, so I'm excited to see all the owl DIY stuff she has made for the party!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend... PS here is a photo of the awesome owl necklace and ring my sweet friend Casie sent me, all the way from Florida! I also received an owl necklace and blanket for Christmas from Becky as well! I'm actually thinking of getting an owl tattoo, that's how much I love them!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABRIELLE!!!


Speaking of amazing card making, check out the DIY owl birthday invitation Becky made for Abrielle's birthday party....

11 Fun Facts About ME!!!

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

I am so late on posting this and I really would like to keep up with my blog, I promise to write more!


Thanks to the sweet Heather over at High Heels & Flip-Flops for tagging me in this fun little question game, here are the rules...

Rules:

1. You must post these rules.
2. Each person must post 11 things about herself on her blog.
3. Answer the questions the "tagger" listed for you in her post, and create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4. You must choose 11 people to tag and link to them in the post.
5. Go to each blogger’s page and mention that you have tagged her.


1) Who inspires you, whether historically, in your day-to-day life, or both?
Historically I have always been inspired by strong women who made a difference in their own lives and lives of others like Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, Princess Diana, Barbara Walters, and Oprah.
Personally I am inspired by my husband and step-children, my best friend Rebecca, and certain women that I have met through blogging who are strong, independent women who are photographers, jewelry makers, crafters, and wedding coordinators.

2) Do you have a favorite season?
I love the Spring and the Fall...the weather isn't too hot or too cold and there are beautiful landscapes to enjoy.


(Spring Flowers)


(Fall Colors)

3) What’s your top goal to accomplish within the next five years?
In the next five years I hope to learn more about editing and perhaps take some PR classes to learn more about business promoting and public relations. I've also been thinking about taking some photography classes as well.

4) What was the first job you ever had?
First job as a kid was a paper route and baby-sitting. First job when I was a teen was working at a Park's Environmental Center answering phones, moving mulch, and taking kids on "nature tours".

5) What’s your all-time favorite book?
I have so many! When I was a kid I loved Charlotte's Web, but my all-time favorite book would have to be "Eat, Pray, Love", because she took a break from life and explored the world and explored who she was...would love to do that. It's also my favorite book because my husband and I read it together!

6) What’s the most unique place you’ve traveled to so far in your lifetime?




This question is a little lost on me because I haven't even been out of the states! But I really loved Naples, Florida because there are beautiful riverside mansions as well as swamp lands with wild animals, you have the best of both worlds there!

7) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I would love to live in a warmer climate near a beach with clear blue water, so any where like that is good for me!

8) Which qualities do you love most about yourself?
I love that I am honest, loyal, forgiving, friendly, and creative!

9) If you could describe yourself in just one word, what would it be?

Thoughtful.

10) What’s your favorite type of workout routine?

I enjoy a workout routine that is fun and enjoyable. I like to dance to music for my warm up then start on the eliptical for 30 mins and then do some weight lifting for another 30 mins. I don't always get this done every day and I wish I would stick to it more...but I'm trying!

11) What’s your favorite guilty pleasure meal or snack?

Well thats nice, after talking about working out now I get to talk about food... lol! I would have to say Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, I can finish off an entire sleeve of those in one sitting...hmm should I really tell you that? Don't judge me!

So now I must create 11 questions for 11 bloggers!

1. If you could meet anyone in the world, living or dead, who would that person be?
2. Why did you start blogging?
3. If you became extremely rich by winning the lottery would you help people from your past that popped up again?
4. From when we were little girls till we are grown women we dream of future baby names, what are some that you thought of?
5. On that note, would you be upset if a friend took your future kid's name that you really loved and wanted to use if she had a baby first?
6. Do you have any tattoos or would like to get any, if so what are they?
7. Are you obsessed or do you like to follow the life and career of any celebrities?
8. Do you collect anything; i.e. dolls, collectables, animal objects, etc?
9. How many states have you been to, do you have a favorite other than the one you live in?
10. When you were little what was your dream career, has that come true or changed?
11. Do you have any secret talents or quirks that you don't tell a lot of people about?
