brain dumping tuesday

1. she wore this cute outfit last monday. i bought her that skirt 2 years ago and it finally fits her tiny waist- barely.

2. friday after eating lunch with kaylee at school, mike and i had a date. he drove me to ikea and we bought some stuff for kaylee's room. [she was going over to a friend's house after school]

3. then we went to saltgrass for some steaks and potatoes. and hit target + specs liquor store afterwards. [had to buy some ingredients for super bowl sunday]

4. ham came home friday night. he had a haircut appointment saturday. went back to his apartment saturday after i fed him dinner. [korean bbq with rice]

5. while i was making everyone's plates he asked me why i was so angry. i told him because everyone was getting on my nerves! [everyone was talking to me at once which just means noise to me]

6. we went over to our neighbor/friends house for super bowl. she made SO much food! mike brought beer and i brought a drink for us girls called fish bowl. it was yummy.

7. the bad part about me not cooking, there are no leftovers for us to munch on later.

8. and how horrible was super bowl? my only highlight was watching the red hot chili peppers at half time even though they only got to play one song.

9. thats on my bucket list btw, to see them in concert.

10. i signed up for a handmade valentine swap and of course i have no idea what to make. well, i have lots of ideas but don't know how to turn it into a card.

#favthingsswap on instagram

 1. found #favthingsswap while looking through instagram photos of all the goodies from the #mugswap2013. [i missed the sign up by one day]

2. my partner to send to was kristen from hopeabound, an awesome mama of 3 sweet, little girls.

3. we both love office/school supplies so i thought i would send some of my favorites but felt it was missing something meaningful/personal, so i kept buying more stuff.  [i had the girl's goodies already bought]

4. then i happen to see this beautiful box on instagram and new thats what i was missing!

5. i stained it a dark walnut and then added this detail that i had seen awhile back to make it my "own".

6. i modge podged tissue paper inside and cleared coated the outside so hopefully it will last for awhile.

7. i added some office supplies inside but thought it would make a nice place for sweet letters from her husband whenever he's away.

8. i ended up making another one but in different size so it can hold my #URHERE starbucks mug that i'm sending out.

9. kaylee loved them too and wants to make one herself.

10. i have a feeling this will be our gift wrapping from now on.
