On My Bookshelf

On our drive home from Ohio, I finished reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower.  It was a good book and a quick read.  I couldn't believe the twist at the end.  Obviously, I did not like the twist, but it helped me understand the main character more and how he acted/reacted in certain situations.



My next read comes to me recommended by my mother-in-law.  She puts it in her top 5 of all time!  We like many of the same books so I am excited to read it.  It is Life of Pi.

I Mopped It Up!

Check PGD out again!  2013 is shaping up to be a great year!  I was featured on I should be mopping the floors with 2012's top project - diy painted coasters.  Thanks so much, Kristi!

Calendar Journal

I saw the idea of a calendar journal on pinterest.  I made one for myself last year and it has been so fun to write down the day's most exciting even and look back and read them.  I can only imagine that it will be so nice to look back as the years go on and see what we were up to. 


I made some as gifts this year for Christmas.  I used a stamp to put the date on each index card.  Just for the cute factor, I added a stamp on the bottom right corner for each different month of the year.  


I think my mason jar stamp just might be my favorite ever!  

It was difficult to find a cute container to store the calendar journal in, so I ended up making my own.  The boxes that they are in are saltine cracker boxes cut in (a little more than) half and then covered in scrapbook paper.  I hope that everyone that got one enjoys it as much as we have enjoyed ours!
