Is it just me?

Is it just me or is this time of the year abnormally busy for most? I can barely keep up with the multitude of projects and things that I have my hands in right now. I sort of feel like this actually...

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? I've decided that I'm actually going to take a day to relax this weekend, unwind and set all things aside. My apologies for the lack of posts this week- it's just been one of those weeks!

Your Weekend

Chattahoochee River/Columbus, GA

My friends, what are your plans this weekend? Getting into anything fun? Josh and I will be going and doing our Saturday market in Columbus, GA and hopefully getting in a nice relaxing bike ride on the river walk after we finish. I'm so excited to relax for a moment, it doesn't seem like I get much of that these days!

Whatever you may get into I hope you have a blast and a nice relaxing weekend. Don't forget to join me next week as I unveil our new website!

Travel wish

Instead of going to work today, I'm wishing I was swimming with the manatees in a beautiful foreign country. Oh how I wish! :)

Remember me telling you about Josh and my trip to mine gemstones? I just got six of them back that I had cut and I can't wait to show you, they're GORGEOUS! I'll be sure to post pics next week.

Happy Friday friends!

Have an exciting weekend.

My friends, what are your plans this weekend? Getting into anything fun? We hear it's going to be around 101 degrees in our area this weekend so Josh and I will be spending most of our time at our country club pool trying to stay cool. Tonight we're continuing our anniversary celebration (although this time in our hometown) to our favorite local restaurant Amsterdam Cafe. If you ever visit auburn Amsterdam is a MUST!

I'm working on gathering all of our photos from our trip and plan on sharing with you next week. Have a wonderful weekend and try to stay cool!

Keds

New York Fashion Week 2011

I don't know how to ease into this so I'm just going to hit you with it: I want Keds.

Call me crazy but I'm seeing them everywhere lately ( NY Fashion week, anyone?) and I can't help but to jump on board! Wonder if Kelly Kapowski still has hers from her Saved By The Bell days??

What do you think of the growing Keds trend? Now that I'm out of the I Like Keds Again closet I have to come clean...I'm getting a red pair!  Don't hate!

Have a happy Friday my friend!

It's Friday, Friday

In the span of three weeks I've formed a habit that I thought I should fess up to. Each Friday, Josh and I have found ourselves blasting Rebecca Black's hit song Friday- a song that is so awesomely awful that you can't help but to laugh at, yet notice your mood enhancing while listening.  WARNING: It WILL be stuck in your head!

Fun... Fun... Fun :)

It's roadtrip time, baby.

My dear loyal readers, what do you have planned this weekend? Up to anything fun?

I wanted you all to know that, starting tomorrow, I will be taking a week-long roadtrip and will be a little sporadic on my postings, although I do plan on having a guest blogger on Wednesday and sharing photos of wherever we end up along the way!

Our plans are pretty loose, but we know that we will be camping here and there in the Blue Ridge mountains and ending up in Virginia to go kayaking with another couple. The only other plan we have is to go gem mining! When I lived in Asheville, NC, my family took a weekend trip to the mines and I brought home a  12 ct. sapphire! Here's to hoping for another big one!

Have a wonderful Friday and a wonderful weekend everyone, I'll see you next week!

My wedding invitations

This time last year, I was finalizing the design of my wedding invitations, and although I never pictured anyone but myself designing it, I was a complete and utter mess trying to finalize the concept.

How could I possibly wrap up mine and Josh's long history on one single piece of paper? It was honestly one of the most stressful design projects I've ever had!

I ended up not settling on one, but actually three pieces, and I stacked and bundled them up in twine with a little tag holding them together like a 'lil story book. I loved Matt Dorfman's story invites and saw a DIY tutorial online on how to recreate them (Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?) so after designing the first and third parts on my own I thought recreating a story like his of me and Josh would be the perfect piece to add in the middle. I wish I would have thought to take photos of the finished 'bundle' but my pre-wedding brain was in complete overdrive : /

I hope you enjoy– Have a great weekend lovelies!!

P.S. Celebrating the Hubster's 27th birthday on Sunday..yippee!

P.S.S. Don't forget to join me next week as I get a visit from Jillian, of Cornflake Dreams!

Closet Inspiration

Last night, I decided that I am completely over my closet. Do you ever get like that? Where you walk up to it and that same 1994 sweater that you have tried to get rid of for over a decade just keeps hitting you in the face? And you desprately want to throw a match to it all but can't because you are at the mercy of these ugly pieces of fabric that cover your body everyday?

Ahem. Excuse me. I almost lost it there...

With that in mind, I thought I'd give you a little closet inspiration. Happy Friday! ;)

Happy Wintery Weekend

Friends, what are your plans this weekend? Going somewhere fun? Staying in recuperating from your long work week?  I'm pretty psyched for this weekend cause we're (finally!) expecting a bit of snow! It never seems to make it down here in the deep south (sigh), but keeping the fingers crossed!

Whatever you get into this weekend I hope you enjoy your time away from work and/or any stresses in your life. Cheers to Friday!

Happy Friday/New Year's Eve!

Happy New Year's Eve friends.  It has been such a great year and I want to personally thank each of you for the daily visits and encouraging words. My blogging journey has been such a great adventure and I couldn't do it without you.

Now let's go grab some champagne and welcome a new year!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! I wanted to share this pic of my brother's homecoming and the awesome little banner my sis-in-law's kindergarten class put together for him...it's it cute?

I hope you all have a wonderful friday!

Oh Joy, It's Friday!

Hi my dear friends, what are you getting into this weekend? I'm headed to Atlanta to visit my best gal friend. I do enjoy heading to my old stomping grounds from time to time :) I think we are heading to CB2 and a ton of other wonderful stores to get started on our Christmas shopping. 

Thought you might enjoy this neat idea.

And get a laugh out of this ( and use it on your friends)

And find this strange yet very interesting.

have a wonderful day!

Happy Friday
