another thing crossed off of the list!

Yes, the day has finally arrived, I have opened my very own Etsy Shop! It's official!
I'll be adding more fun creations when I have some down time! Let me tell you though the month of June is going to be CRAZY! I'm ready thought! Yay for big events, and fun birthdays! I will be one very busy Sugar Plum Fairy, not to worry thought I'll have my cape on and ready to go!

Thanks a latte

i think it's safe to say that most teachers are fans of some type of coffee house.
and i think it's safe to say that most of us appreciate all that those teachers do...
a latte!!
(a lot - get it?)
 
 
 
what you'll need:
  • 5x7 thanks a latte print found here (i had them printed out at Costco)
  • a coffee sleeve
  • white or kraft cardstock
  • twine
  • stapler and double sided tape (or other adhesive)
  • gift card for starbucks (or other coffee house)
how to put it together:
  • attach the print to a 5.5" x 7.5" piece of cardstock
  • trim the coffee sleeve to 4" wide (cutting with the corrugated lines)
  • place a piece of double sided tape to the very bottom of sleeve and attach to print
  • staple sides of the sleeve and insert card
  • tie some fun twine around your gift
**for extra fun, place the card inside of a paper pastry bag and hand out to all of those well-deserving teachers.

Kirsten meets Gym




So today has started out as a great Thursday! I have been religiously going to the gym and eating healthy for 3 weeks...RVL Protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and 2 snacks in between which usually consist of a fruit and a protein, for dinner I eat lean meat and veggies. Today was the day I had set the day to weigh-in and measurements....The scale hadn't  shifted a ton but at a healthy pace as my trainer would say. I'm down 5.7 pounds! and...I've lost 9.5 inches total off of my body! I can't really see a huge difference in myself physically yet....However I am in need of some smaller jeans!!! YAY
I'm on my way to create a happier, healthier life for myself!

Queen Bee Inspiration


 I love to decorate and style over-the-top parties! My friends little girl is dreaming of a queen bee party for her birthday! I stumbled upon this bumble bee party that I thought was absolutely darling!
The banners, queen bee crown, a lollipop tree, but my favorite thing is the bumble bee antennas for her friends rather than a party hat! These are so easy! Ready for this?! All you need:
Pipe Cleaners (yellow and black)
Plastic Headbands
Black puff balls
Black ribbon and a glue gun!
How stinking cute are these? Reese you are one very lucky girl!

relaxed

I just had a massage, oh, about 30 minutes ago. It went on for an hour and a half and I've never felt more relaxed, more calm or more complete. I feel feather weight and shielded.
Massages have always been high on my list of things I never take the time to do for myself. Not any more!  Every muscle moved, and brought back. I was naked under a sheet and could have cared less. My feet weren't smooth, my polish chipped, my legs haphazardly shaved. Who cares?


Relaxed.
