jewelry holders

some earrings

(either posts or ones that just won't hang

on my current holder)

my rings

i went back to goodwill that same evening

with dean this time..to show him these holders

which i wanted to use for my jewelry.

i got each one for $3 and i'm so glad now that i bought them!

i may paint them in the future but for now...

they look so good!

my new cake/jello tin

while dean was out golfing today...

i decided to check out some spots close to our apartment.

i had fun walking through joanns, looking at vogue patterns

(my favorite!) and fabrics..getting inspired

for designing clothes in the near future

(hopefully! i have such a passion for fashion)

i also went to goodwill which is where i found

the pan/tin pictured above.

this one by far was my favorite..and only 75 cents!

i'm excited to bake a cake in it and i

could also use it as a jello mold!

breakfast for dinner

the best way to have a waffle!

tonight we had breakfast for dinner!

oh how i love waffles..luckily dean does too!

(he likes his with just syrup on top)

although i have two waffle irons i tend to use

my rose one more often then just my regular round one.

i am so glad i bought this when i did...

because i have never seen a prettier waffle : )

the best way to have a waffle by far is

with strawberries and coolwhip (or whip cream)

this particular waffle is made with the

heart healthy bisquick mix and adding only one egg white and fat free milk..

then topping with fresh strawberries and fat free coolwhip!!

so it's not too bad for ya either!

oh how i love making food healthier and

with less calories/fat/sugars etc!

desk chair

i am absolutely loving this chair to the left! it can be found at target.com and would make a great decor

chair for my desk! i am currently shopping for a unique desk chair. i am not normally attracted to the

mustard yellow..however i think this chair is just FABULOUS!

sadly, this chair is not quite in my current price range..so i have some more hunting to do!

the desk to the right is also from target and is my current desk! i bought this desk because it is so

simple and elegant looking and i love the rich expresso color!

jeremy's wedding

some of my favorites from jeremy and emily's wedding!

loved how the light turquoise and the fuschia pink came together!

jeremy and emily are such an amazing couple

and i'm looking forward to future get togethers!

i am loving all of the wedding ideas i've been getting lately : )

hopefully someday i will be able to use the knowledge of my own wedding

with all the other weddings and ideas i have gathered over time

and become some sort of event/wedding planner someday!

wedding present

tomorrow we are heading to Seattle

for my friend jeremy's wedding!!

jeremy is my long time friend from college

and was my best guy friend until dean and i started dating.

so we go way back : )

although i havn't known emily as long as jeremy..

she is an amazing woman and i couldn't imagine anyone

else better for jeremy than her!

i am so blessed to know them both and am looking

forward to hanging out with them in the days to come!

this weekend also marks another milestone.

this sunday..not only is it father's day..

but it also marks 3 years since dean and i started dating!

dean is the most amazing man and i am so blessed

to have him as my husband!

side note: did i mention i love wrapping gifts?!

classic sourdough bread

the most AMAZING sourdough bread!!

it's made by Harvest Classic Bakery

based out of Nampa, ID.

i fell in love with their black bread first

then i tried their sourdough and both are so delicious!

last visit to Idaho i looked all over for a loaf of sourdough

and i could not find it anywhere!

it was a sad day because i thought that it wasn't popular enough

and that they were no longer making it.

however this time in Idaho my friend rachel and i

went down the bread aisle to get some hotdog buns

for a bbq we were having and low and behold...

one loaf of Harvest Classic sourdough..just waiting for me!!

it made my day to say the least!

lesson: don't lose faith. there is hope!
