Cheap Entertainment

The other night Nick and I had a little time on our hands..... and maybe a few wigs. When wigs are involved you're bound to have a good time. Lets just say they kept us entertained for quite some time.












Oh what fun!
in case you're wondering why we have all these wigs, they are from Nick's work so you know who to come to if you need a wig

A little Piece of Paradise

Wow! Where do I start!? Nick and I went to Providenciales, Turks and Caicos which is a small island in the Caribbean. We went there to celebrate our second anniversary. This place was A-MAZING! The beaches were perfect! The water was perfect, the sand was perfect, the light breeze was perfect. It really was prefect! Not to mention the beaches were so secluded. It would be a great honeymoon spot. There were times that I felt like we were stranded on an island because there was absolutely no one around. Well that's enough from me. I will let all the pictures do the talking.

Our little walkway to the beach

These are glow worms mating. Every month 3-4 days after the full moon and 54 minutes after the sunset the glow worms do this mating ritual. Yeah they have it down to the last minute. Crazy!IMG_0496

Craft Time!

Here are some of the random projects I have been working on. Anything to keep me from going insane. :)

This lovely beach bag I added a few bells and whistles toDSC_7833DSC_8288
I just added some roses and ruffles to it. What more could a girl want!? The bag already had this fun bright pink on the inside that I wanted to incorporate on the outsideDSC_8292
I found another use for those square metal tins that I have. I made a magnet board! The photos I tried to make old and vintage looking to go with the rest of the look. I then outlined it in lace and put the bigger rose on the corner. Oh and the magnets are those twisty roses that I put on the bag above. Super easy!DSC_8295
These lovelies I found at Ross on clearance for $8.99. Now I'm not sure but I am going to say they were on clearance because of that awful pink color they came in.

so viola! I spray painted them yellow! It actually worked better than I anticipated. Tip: If any of you are wanting to make over your shoes I sprayed a cotton pad and then wiped it on the shoe. Much easier!

However my hands did take a tole but it's all in the name of cute shoes!

Last but not least. I bought this adorable dress at Ross (have I ever mentioned I love that store?) but like most their dresses there it was too short! So I added some lace to the bottom of the dress and sleeves. disclaimer: this pic make me look like I have a bad gut. I have one but it's not that big! I shot this using my new tripod! :) So tell me what you guys think of my new creations!

Spanish Fork Hot Pots

All my time living in Utah I never knew that there were hot pots up Spanish Fork canyon. Well Ty and Bre gave us the pleasure the other night of being our guide to the pots and let me tell you they felt GREAT! as for the smell..... lets just say I am still smelling rotten eggs. There was a nice leisurely 2 mile hike/walk to the pots and then there are several different ones to choose from once you get there. For those of you who have never been I HIGHLY suggest you go!
