Keepsake Window


In honor of all the weddings coming up, Frugal Friday, and crafty people all around... 

(will post a better picture later)

This antique frame (LOVE the chipping paint and the color) 
houses a smörgåsbord of wedding memories. 
It's just a ribbon down the middle with miscellaneous wedding trinkets including our program, engagement photos, a beautiful picture of my mom, my cousin and me laughing while picking out the dress, one of the corsages, and my favorite which is little snippets of all of the ribbons that were used at the wedding.

A great little memory from a great big day.

a-ROOM-a-therapy


Craft Room Edition
Ok, I'm starting a new thing called a-ROOM-a-therapy. Basically I find pure joy out of looking through Ikea and Pottery Barn catalogs and stealing their ideas for my own home. Unfortunately, not only do I not have enough room to add anything in my house (I am constantly reminded of this by my cousin), but I also don't have the funds to buy everything my little heart desires in those previously mentioned magazines. 
Hence, a-ROOM-a-therapy.  


a⋅roo⋅ma⋅ther⋅a⋅py [uh-ru-muh-ther-uh-pee]
noun 
1. The use of well designed rooms to affect
or alter a person's mood or creative ability 

Correctly used in a sentence: 
I need me some a-room-a-therapy! Quick!
I just love this workspace! From the scissors hanging on the door (you can never have enough of them) to the cute, antique metal baskets to an actual place to store all that wrapping paper... this room is divine! The color on the walls is just so relaxing and makes me want to spend hours on end crafting my heart away in this sweet space.
