Best Christmas Present EVER!

So for Christmas my next door neighbors who are just so amazing brought me over some bulb paper whites. Little did I know that in 2short weeks they would bloom into these amazing flowers that take your breath away just when you walk in the room. I am finding things to do in this room now just because it smells soooo good. Get some you can't go wrong!

The perfect little wedding gift! This was so easy to make! The bride's favorite quote is "To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world." Such an amazing quote. So we were shopping and found this quote on a sign for 19.95...I turned to her and said "I could make that for a dollar!" (I think I am know for saying that! haha) This project only cost me nothing...becuase I used materials I already had such as old frames in boxes and paper, but I know it could so be made for less then 2.00 :) So I took it to the next level and added a little special touch of the couple. Then in the middle they can add their wedding picture for sure! Hope they enjoy! Congrats Nicole!

Today's little joy...

my new nightstand....which I found for free in Kate's ally! Sanded it down and re-painted it an wha-la! a brand new nightstand. Of course I had to had my favorite things such a Lilly, a candle, Gerber daisies ( got at my new favorite farmers market for only 2.00) Love my big pink "E" and a shell, because I looooove the beach....obviously!
