Hanging From My Necklace...






I have this friend, who happens to make jewelry and she happened to make an awesome charm necklace just for me!!  How cool right?  A tad blurry, but this is what it looks like and next week I am going to have my first feature post just about her and her awesome jewelry making skills!  Oh man, I love this necklace and it'll be my new obsession for sure!  

So lovelies, what are your weekend goals?  Got any awesome plans in mind?  Happy Friday and Happy Weekend adventures!

Wow, I sure haven't posted an outfit photo in awhile!  This was my day off outfit!  Yes, I get dressed up on my days off.  Why?  Because, I love to be girly and look nice.  Even if I am just going to the grocery store to grab recipe ingredients.  Sometimes I don't get dressed up, but more often I do than I don't!  This blazer, let me tell you...has changed-my-life!!  I wear it as much as possible...overload?  I think not.  Mens wear paired with women's wear is beautiful! 

By the way, I adore hot pink nails.  Which I have read that the trend is going to be neon nails this spring.  How fun?!  Tonight's agenda includes making veggie soup and hot salsa because Chris isn't feeling well.  I'm going to add a recipe page to the ol' blog here, so I can share my favorite recipes.  I can't wait!!

D.I.Y: Holiday Ornaments




Okay, so I know I am a little late posting about this, but hey lets face it, at least you'll be super prepared for next Christmas!  So lets go!

What You'll Need:

Clear Glass Ornaments
Fake Snow
Plastic Foliage( I just grabbed a small ready made decoration and chopped it up!)
A small funnel or piece of paper to roll up into a funnel
Wire Cutters
Scissors


I would say to make these outside or put down newspaper, etc for easy clean up afterwards!  Trust me the snow will go everywhere!

What To Do:


Prepare your paper funnel first (if making your own) and pull the tops out of the glass ornaments.  Place the funnel into the opening of the ornament and pour the snow inside.  I found that the snow started to build up and did not pour into the ornament, so I ended up just trying my luck and pouring it without the funnel, which you can choose to do!  Fill snow to just about the middle of the ornament.

Then cut off pieces of the pre-made decoration to place inside!  If you are putting berries or any other small piece of decoration, put those in first, then place the plastic foliage in after.  I cut the ends off of a pre-decorated garland to make small trees!  After you've placed what you want inside, put the topper back on, shake the snow to the bottom and see your finished decorations!!  So cool!  Some of the snow will even stick to the trees to create a winter wonderland. 

I really loved making these ornaments!  I can't wait until next  year to make more, I think you could use this idea throughout the year, not just for Christmas!!  Happy Crafting :)
