Earlier this week I was commenting that my mantel needed more "Easter-izing". I made it my goal to "Easter-ize" it. I love the result! I should probably be making it a priority to exercize as much as I Easter-ize. To see the Easter Bunny Garland tutorial, click here I had some left over jars from a craft project gone bad... Yes, that happens to me too, (and no, I don't want to talk about it...it's just too soon).The good news is that I found a use for them! I hot glued ... Read More about A Spring Mantel

Our Wedding: Part 2
My sister is getting married in the fall, and all of the wedding talk has me reminiscing about our big day. To see part 1 of this series click here!

Our Wedding: Part 1
With all of the wedding talk in my family these days, it's hard not to think back to my own wedding day, the planning that went into it, and the fun we had! When I started looking through my photographs, I realized that it would be impossible to sum up this day in one post, so I'm doing a little "Our Wedding" series. We got married in Bloomington, IN (also known as my favorite place in Indiana). We went to college here, but we chose this location because it is an absolutely beautiful place ...
