dress & jacket: Old Navy flats: Target
1. I was happy to discover that I could wear this dress like a skirt, expect for the fact that there is a little tie as part of the dress around my waist. Hence the string going down my shirt, and it annoyingly kept hanging out all day.
2. Did you notice the sweet new links and buttons on my blog? I am SO happy with my new design. I was lucky to find Chelsea, who just started a blog, and has some awesome graphic/designing skills and helped me out. She sent me the images so fast and told me how to add them to my blog. You should go check out her blog too! Thank you Chelsea - you are awesome and appreciated!
3. I made this chex mix for Lauren's bachlorette party. It was delicious.
Chris even said it was the best dessert ever.
But if you recall that happens often.

4. I pretty much turned into Viola Swamp at school the last two days.
Do you know these books?
Summer countdown: 27 school days
5. I found two different bird canvases that I liked and combined them to make this:
It is now hanging on my wall right above my sewing machine.
I love how it turned out and love the reminder that God is my refuge.
Happy weekend!
Oh my gosh- did you have a crazy day at school too?! FDKJASHFVJSAVA I definitely had the summer countdown in mind today! That chex mix looks deeelish and I adore your new blog design! I'll have to check Chelsea out! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteToo funny on the little string with your dress. I do that type of stuff, allllll the time. I find it very hard to believe that you, of all people, have turned in to the awful Viola Swamp! Love the canvases! Have a great weekend!

I love those bird canvases - you picked an awesome verse to add to them! They look adorable. Also I love your blog's new look! too cute!
ReplyDeletethat chex looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteyour blog looks great!! also, elijah loves those books. we especially like the one where viola swamp comes to teach the football team how to actually play football. so cute!
ReplyDeleteI've been Viola Swamp all week! I'm at the point where I love the kids (and don't want to send them off to 5th grade!), but I dislike the system.
ReplyDeleteI've always been uncomfortable wearing low necklines, so I turn cute dresses into skirts, more often than not. No one can tell!
Yay, so happy I could help you out Katie. Did you get the header that I put in the folder as well? Or did I forget to put it in?
ReplyDeleteThe birdie canvases are awesome! I loveee.

Great idea to do a dress as a skirt. I did a skirt as a dress last week for one of my posts (I think it was last week). Anyway, I like being able to wear things different ways. It keeps the wardrobe interesting!

Love the birdy signs!
ReplyDeleteI always try to turn my dresses into skirts too but same thing ...there is always something going on on top that makes it look bizarre. Yours isn't too noticable though:)

Viola Swamp! What a throwback! .. love that outfit too! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThat chex miz looks amazing!!! Happy Friday. BTW...I nominated you for the lovely blog award on my post today. ;)
ReplyDeleteLike Lauren, I wondered how Chris felt about the name of the Chex Mix (but as your mom, I don't think I really want to know). It was delicious, though, as I was able to have some before the party. You are amazing, dear daughter!

ReplyDeleteAnd your new buttons are adorable!
