A Late Christmas

                I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.  This is a little glimpse into what our Christmas looked like.  It was very low key with just JM, JD, P, and I.  This was the first Christmas I spent away from my parents and brothers, but the first one I spent with just my little family of fur kids and JM.  As simple as it was, it was a memorable one.  Best wishes to all of you out there (if you're out there).

Five Words Friday

I stumbled across this blog called Five Words and absolutely loved it.  

{The rules}:

The game’s name is short.
It’s not even Five Words.
Yet, Five Words it is!
Some wonder, “What’s it about?”
Your goal is quite simple.
Express yourself in Five Words.
Don’t use more, or less.
So, give it a try.
Five Words can express it.
Five Words and you’re done.

So I thought I would start something new, {Five Words Friday}.  It’ll be a cute, short, and simple way to end the week, and I would love to see what everyone else comes up with.  So here it goes, my first Five Words Friday….well sort of.

Time to go tree shopping!

Subway Art

                I have officially jumped onto the subway art fanatic train.  So much that I have been planning on creating my own version of a conversation starter when people enter our home, kind of like a coffee book.  After much web searching, Etsy window shopping, Pinterest inspiration, and tutorials, I finally mustard my inner creativity to put together my own subway art for the first time (EEK!).

My inspiration I found on both Etsy and Pinterest

My attempt on my home town (or as close to a home town a military brat can get)

and it wouldn't be complete if I didn't make one for JD.  However I'm thinking about tinkering around some more with this one.

                Eventually I want it to end up looking like this, (but with my layout) which is where I found a super easy and unique tutorial for those who don't have a Cricut, which I don't.
