statement pants

It seems as if everything is a statement piece in our wardrobes lately.  From necklaces to pants it's a wonder I don't look like lady gaga every day.  You see, the trick is, don't wear all your statement pieces at the same time.  Ah-ha you say?  yes, I say back.  No, seriously...I am totally digging the pants this spring.  In fact, some of them do look like a bouquet of fresh spring flowers.  Smell on...

Hope these were able to inspire your weekend (get out of the house and a have a beer) outfit.

I love pants.

...and boots

...and chocolate

...and coffee

...and bikes

Here is my new diet:

gotta remember this!

will you be my valentine?

whew- sick baby and sick mom = no time for blog.

I have so many great ideas for V Day, so you're getting blasted with all the ideas at once!!  (either you have a lot of time today or you're going to have to wait till next year for some ideas- OR screw v day and make up a day of love all on your own!)

You've guessed it- the year of diy's is coming at you in full speed this post...

Here are some ideas I stole and some I did myself...

I started the day off with this ever so cute v day egg toast.

Just use a cookie cutter on the bread, break an egg and boom...you've got breakfast.  Of course it wouldn't be complete without bacon :)

With the leftover hearts, we used those to soak up the runny yolk- no joke.

I did have to do a couple more for linden- still not a fan of the egg, you can make french toast with the leftover "hearts".

yummy.

We made home made play dough and dyed it red-

you know, the kind you used to eat.

I never knew it called for 3/4 cup salt!!

1 1/2 cup flour

1 1/2 cup water

3/4 cup salt

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

food coloring

mix all in pot over low/medium heat

stir for 5-8 minutes

layout on wax paper, knead, and it will begin to come together as it cools.

dang.

not sure why it didn't turn...

used hands for heart- just stamp and go!

We hand delivered to gramma, and boy did she like them!

"from the bottom of my heart,

to the tips of my toes,

I love you!"

love this site...

makes you think you can do anything!

and yes...i can make those love bangles
