YUM. I don't usually post about meals I make, but this one is worth sharing. I will say that I have become a pretty good cook over these past 2 years of being married.  Well I should say I've become really good at following a recipe and making it turn out good. ;)  My go to cookbooks are a series that my best friend's mom compiled called "The Domestic Art."  There are 3 volumes and they are all amazing!  I'll share the recipe for this meal I made, but I would recommend at least buying the first book. Let me know if you're interested and I'll get you her info!

I planted pots for Landon's office, then that led to the law office next door wanting some, then I planted some for my in-laws, then the some for my ...

So now that school is out I actually have time to do crafty things! I'm not your typical crafter with a room full of modge podge, glue guns, and scrapbook paper, but I do love being able to recreate an idea I've seen in a store or magazine for less. So here's a peek at what I've created lately. I had a fun craft night with some cute friends from school the other night and that got me started. :) I also had to throw in a couple of pictures of the pup... Ok so I am in love with this and can't wait to hang it up! I just googled a dachshund silhouette, made a stencil, and painted it on a canvas with grey paint. (P.S. all canvases at Benjamin Franklin are 50% off!) Just woke up from a nap with his little fox friend More stencils I already had this cute teacup ...
