This Week Update

 Hi!

I hope you had a good weekend! I had a great one! My mom was in town and we pretty much shopped until we dropped! We also got some delicious German food. Here are pictures to wrap up my week!

Happy Valentine's Day! This was my husband gift. 

This was my outfit for our Valentine's Day date. 

The top is Target, the jeans Lucky Brand.

We got cupcakes after dinner! This is a mini Peanut Butter Cup!

This was my Valentine's Day gift! I just love it!

The two cupcakes we got! Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and a Lemon Bar.

For the girls in my Life Group I decided to make them a little Valentine's Day goodie bag. 

              

I made this for our kitchen area. I went to a new store, well to me, called Craft. It was a amazing! I was Michael's and JoAnn's put together. It was a neat store and it had finished project all around the store to get you ideas. 

My mom and I exploring Portland!

My mom gave me my birthday present early! She got me a few more things I will post about later. 

When we were exploring we saw some ladies from the Red Hat Society. 

We also were stopped on a bridge because they were lifting it. It was really cool! We both have never seen that happen before. The odd thing was that there were not boats going through. But, it was neat watching it!

Our German Dinner at Gustav's. We had Spaztle and Potato Pancakes! It was soo good, I pretty much inhaled my food. 

Our Creme Brulee!

If you are ever in the Portland area and like German food go to Gustav's! It has such good food! My husband has gotten something different every time and has loved everything. I also suggest getting the pretzel with the different types of mustards for an appetizer. I cannot let you enough how good it is!

I hope you had a great weekend and ready for the work week!

Favorite Things This Week

Hi!

I wanted to share some of my favorite things this week....

I LOVE these flowers. I absolutely love the colors and would be great for a spring wedding or party. 

I saw these pillows and fell in love. The colors are great and would work perfectly in my home. 

This is a great idea! I have already gotten some maps out, so I can do these. Just waiting until Sunday for the JoAnn/Michael's coupons! 

She looks gorgeous! 

Great idea and easy to do.

Another way of creating a board. 

I made these on Sunday and they were AMAZING! They are easy to make and addicting! My husband said, "These are the best things you have ever made!" haha

I hope you have a great day! My mommy is flying up here today! I am exciting to see her and spend the next couple days with her!

Valentine's Day Decorations DIY

Happy Thursday! 

So, today I wanted to post about Valentine's Day Decorations. So, I decided to get some inspiration from Pinterest....

Hearts Linked together. You can get the template here at Martha Stewart's website.

I got inspired by this link.

For this one I cut out many hearts and hot glued them to a piece of string. 

I closer look at the hearts. 

How I decorated my space. 

Paper Garland Strand.

What is great about all of these is that I can save them for next year! I am going to out tomorrow and get more Valentine's Day color card stock/scrap book paper, so I am ready for next year! I hope you are inspired to create something for this Valentine's Day! I have a few more ideas that I am coming up with, I will share soon!

Weekend Wrap Up

Happy Monday!

I bought plants, hopefully they will survive! I am hoping they will since they were outside grocery stores and their tags say they thrive in 40-50 degree weather. 

We went to a resturant and they used Ipads as their menus!

This is what I got. 

Then we went to a movie and this was what we first saw when we entered the theater.

This is the seating! It was so cool, we have never been to a theater with seating like this. 

We saw the Artist. I actually enjoyed this black and white,silent movie. There was a little dog int he movie and it makes me really want a puppy. I missing my animals, I think we need to get a pet. 

The foot rest.

And you could order food, and drinks before the movie! Such a neat experience. We decided we will be back to this theater. 

Super Bowl Cupcakes!

I do not like watching sports, but I love my husband, so I will watch important sports events with him.

I made a pretty cup cake. I thought these would be good to make for someone's birthday. 

My husband and I went to Home Goods (his idea!) and I got this Easter cookie cutter for $1.99. Such a good deal since they are almost $5.00 normally. 

And I got these cupcake cups for $1.99. I thought this was another great deal. 

My husband and I decided that we had an amazing weekend and we cannot wait for more weekends just like this one.

I hope you have a great week!

Winter Get Away

Hello!

Last weekend my husband and I and our Life Group from church went up to Black Butte, Oregon for a retreat. One of the cool activities we did was tubing. At first I was a little scared, and told my husband I do not think I can do this. But, I sucked it up and went down the hill. I am not one to venture out and try new things without being pushed a little. So, I sat in the tube and went down the BIG scary hill.

It was a great weekend get away with awesome people. Before we left on Friday afternoon we learned that my husband got into UCLA Law School. Which is so exciting! So, far he has gotten into four of the nine schools. I can wait for the rest to come rolling in. 

I hope you have a great Thursday! One more day until the weekend!
