A Pinterest Easter Birthday

I need a detox! The amounts of bad {but oh so good} food I have been consuming lately is not favoring me - my scale even went up by 3 numbers so we have to change that. But first let's see if you get full just from my weekend recap!!

First Up: Pinterest Party! 
My sister-in-law mentioned the other day how fun it would be to have a craft day with my sister so we decided to have a Pinterest day. We all came with different craft ideas we had found on Pinterest, my sister brought her cricut and I supplied the wine and goodies! Here was the winning recipe … It was a blast - we painted, cut and glued our little hearts out!!

Next Up: Easter -- Birthday

It was forecasted to be a beautiful day and for once those weather people didn't disappoint - The Sun was Shining for Our Risen Lord indeed!!

After church we played cards outside and I think all got a little sunburnt. Then as if I didn't graze and eat enough on Saturday my mom made an amazing Easter meal! 

My Sister also turned 24 on Sunday so after dinner we took a long walk to make room for her Birthday Pie!

We had so much fun all hanging out enjoying the beautiful weather - I think Spring is here!! 

::Detox/Clean Eating Tips Welcome::

Hope you all had a blessed Easter Weekend!!

Wedding Bouquet Shadowbox

Did you love your wedding bouquet as much as I did but weren't quite sure how to preserve it or what you were going to do with it after the wedding? I have your solution {hoping you still have it somewhere}. And if you are an upcoming Bride this is definitely something I'd recommend.

Wedding Bouquet Shadowbox. 

The day after my wedding I hung my bouquet upside down in my closet. You don't want to store it in direct light because the petals could get a really bad burned look to them. I didn't spray it or anything and it dried very well, I was impressed. 

It has almost been one year since we got married and I finally got around to making this wonderful keepsake. {I may have some issues with procrastination, oops. Thank goodness for my sister coming home to help make this}

What You Will Need:

:: Shadowbox {mine is 12x15 and 3in deep}

:: Decorative paper {or whatever you'd like behind your flowers, I know some like to use their wedding program}

:: Double Stick Tape {I used this to tape the paper to the back of the box}
:: Hot Glue Gun {used to glue in boutonniere}

:: Your bouquet and whatever other keepsakes from your special day {I used my garter; my husband's boutonniere; his cufflinks and wine corks}

I had to trim my bouquet down in the back because it was initially to thick for the box; it is still in there tight enough so I didn't have to mess with gluing it. The only thing I glued in the box was the boutonniere and then our wedding date. The corks, garter and cufflinks are just placed in there loosely. 

If you make one of these let me know, I'd love to see your finished product!!
