craft outing outfit

Sunday, Barb and I went to a craft show at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. So many neat things, wish I was more creative. We bought some REAL goodies. (pictures to come) 

decor

We have a wall in our apartment that has been taunting me to put something on it. So, Friday night before date night my girlfriend Kasey and I made a quick stop to Hobby Lobby, in our heels! I picked up a mirror and wall decoration for 50% off!

The "shelf" is actually from Goodwill, along with the vase. They match perfectly. I think I may spray paint the vase. Any suggestions? 

I had plans to turn the suitcase I found at Goodwill into a table. However, I couldn't bring myself to ruin it.

Shell I bought at Goodwill :)

Saturday, I ran around town all day. It was such an amazing fall day, here in Iowa!

I had such a fun/busy/tiring weekend. I finished it with a church lunchin with the family.

I really like vests

This weekend I also did an upcycle on a Banana Republic collared shirt from Goodwill

I bought these buttons from Walmart

I had to clip off the backs of them so they would lay flat. then I used jewel washable glue, so hopefully I can wash it and they stay. Fingers crossed

Finished project! I really really like it.

Hello followers, 

I have been MIA from here for some time now. Oops! Well good news. I'm back.I have been in the market for a denim vest and haven't found one that I liked or one in my budget. Then the fashion Gods shined down at Goodwill. I found a jacket that I liked and turned it into a vest. All you do it cut off the sleeves at the seam.

I finally came around to cooking this weekend also, chimichangas and spanish rice. YUM!

 Took this with instagram last night. Had natural curly hair for date night with the boy! We went to Noah's Ark, in Des Moines. It's amazing Italian food.

I will be crafting some this week so stay tuned.

long blog.

hello friends! it has been over a week since my last post. (oops!) 

I have an excuse though, I've been sick... :( Don't worry, I am getting better. 

• First, I would like to share with you a project I am slowly doing. I am converting my recipes from my little box to a binder. I have too many and my box is overflowing. My binder isn't pretty, but it gets the job done!

• Secondly, I got a free tote (Victoria's Secret addict) soo cute! 
• The little town I am from has started their "farmers market" once a week. Which means you can bring any foods you grow, anything you make, or whatever you want to sell. So a few gals from my work are going to buy a table and sell things! I decided to make a few necklaces...

... I ordered material from Hobby Lobby, and these are my goodies. including bubble wrap I had a blast popping. I will let you know how those turn out! 

• Found this little gem on a trip to Goodwill. Not sure what I will do with it, but I couldn't pass it up. Suggestions would be lovely.

• Bonus, everyone kept telling me how long my hair has gotten last week! It's always thrown up in a pony tail during the work week so I haven't noticed how long it has gotten. 

So happy to catch everyone up. I will be HOPEFULLY be doing some gardening and crafting this weekend. 

--Until we meet again! 

pizza dip. tanks. skirt

yesterday us girls were going to do a little patio sitting, but it turned out to be a really cloudy day :| so instead I went to goodwill, did some grocery shopping, and made PIZZA DIP!
 my mother has made this dip before and it is delish.

 great for when you have people over. it was perfect because we had something to eat when we came home from the bar ;)

what to do:

you can either eat this cold or you can bake it, eat it with crackers or chips! in a bowl, mix the cream cheese,1/2 c sour cream, and a tsp of oregano. put this mixture into your pie tin. top it with pizza sauce, as much cheese, green pepper, and crushed red pepper as you like. I'm not much of an onion eater but my boyfriend loves them, so when the recipe calls for them I just use minced onion. bake it on 400 degrees for 15 minutes

             

I bought some shirts at Goodwill and cut them into razor backs. 

I'm ready for summer!

I also bought...

we needed wine glasses, $2.99! These earrings, which I love $.75! I needed a basket for Easter Sunday to bring my goodies for the fam. not sure how much it was!

I didn't take any pictures Satruday night, but I did get a shot of my outfit!
