I’m sorry to report that there has been a family emergency which will put this blog on hold for a couple of weeks. Thanks for always reading.

Learning how to make paper cranes is my fave

June 23, 2009 // 24 Comments

After several failed attempts of trying to make a paper crane I quickly turned to Etsy to see if someone else could just make them for me. In my search I found some other origami goodies that I want to snatch up like:

a cute jar chock full of little cranes,

a hand carved stamp,

a colorful mobile,

and letterpress pretties.

Luckily I ended up finding a great tutorial and whipping out quite a few cranes so I didn’t have to spend money on another failed craft project. Heaven knows how many times that’s happened.

A wall surround of bookcases with a white couch and orange lamp is my fave

Pop! goes my heart.

Sidecar scooters are my fave

I tried to convince Ryan I needed this. He thought paying for rent and buying groceries was more important. Party pooper.

Little backyard bungalows are my fave

I love the idea of converting a backyard shed into a little guest house or library. My grandma converted an old chicken coop into her guest house. I guess you work with what you got.

A summer journal is my fave

Suzanne started a journal of things she vows to do this summer. Her goals are pretty simple but include all the things that I love about summer, like wearing summery dresses and having picnics. I’m starting my own journal right about now…

This summer I vow to:

- eat as many pints of blueberries as I can before they go out of season
- wear sunscreen
- go on ice cream runs on my bike
- go to Mount Rushmore

- not wear the same thing everyday
- use up my multiple boxes of sparklers

just to name a few.

Adoption is my fave

June 16, 2009 // 22 Comments

I don’t normally talk about things like this on my blog but this is a million times more important to me than a pretty party or cute dress. After months of waiting, my sister and her husband have been approved for adoption! Their caseworker has explained to them that about 50% of their agency’s adoptions are designated adoptions. This is where someone they know puts them in contact with birth parents. So please, if you know a friend of a friend or a friend (or someone even closer to you) who is considering adoption, please direct them to their online profile. You can also learn more about them on their blog. I’m so excited for the two of them and know that Heavenly Father will bless them with the child that is right for their family. Thank you for your help.

A paper lily mobile is my fave
