Wrapping Ideas!

If you know me then you know how much I love to wrap presents! I have already decided what all my Christmas presents will be wrapped in for this Christmas! Crazy I know but gift wrapping can make any gift fun to open! Below is my current gift wrapping for Birthdays!!



Start off with some brown Kraft Paper

Just Purchased this Bakers Twine from Etsy Even Comes with that cute little bag in the picture!

Wrap the color of your choice around the package and tie in a bow!

Add this vintage tag (that i love) and you have a perfect little present!

Grillin' Time

Last night a couple of us grilled out!! I thought to myself this is going to be quite interesting since we were all girls(who never grill) or for that matter cook. We only had one minor set back though...we didn't know how to start the grill, but I just kept pushing and turning knobs until a blazing fire started!! YAY! If I say so myself we did amazing job! The grilled chicken was tender with just the right amount of seasoning,the broccoli was good, and the corn on the cob was so juicy!! I think I just might have to grill out again really soon!!

Sugarboo Designs

Real wood frames from a sweet husband and wife team in Atlanta!! I love how much of a statement they make no matter where you hang them!

This would be such a great gift for a newly engaged couple!!

They also have beautiful one of a kind artwork as well!!

This little guy would be what I designed my little boys nursery around!! Love him!!

Look at their website http://www.sugarboodesigns.com/

They have a great selection!!

They are in the Village at Lee Branch on 280!

Pepper Place Market

Today Mom and I got up early and headed downtown to the Lakeview District to The Pepper Place Market! In case you don't know what I am talking about it is a Vegetable Market where all the local farmers in Alabama come and set up their tents and bring out their best Fruits and Vegetables! There are also lots of other great little vendors out there including a homemade ice-cream husband and wife team! After scoring a sweet parking spot we headed out to fight the crowds for some of the best fruits and veggies around! It didn't take us long and we had 3 sacks full of green beans, potatoes(that were dug yesterday) and some of the biggest peaches I have ever seen! After dealing with the 90 degree heat for about thirty minutes we found our way into the Pepper Place Antique Store! Although I didn't buy anything today I will for sure be back! They had so many things that I wanted to take home with me! Mom and I had a blast today! If you ever have a free Saturday morning you have to go check it out! It's very family friendly and you can even bring your four-legged friend!

Bug Catchers! Really??

Made from recycled glass in the shape of a beehive, these are gorgeous enough to be decorative lanterns, but sugar water turns them into chemical-free wasp- and bee-catchers. Hang one wherever you want to be sting-free and stylish. After all, you’ve got to do something about insects in the summer—might as well make that something beautiful! They come in three great colors! At $13 you cant beat that!! Check them out at:
