Tights are not Pants!
There I said it. More and more I see girls who are under the impression that they should wear tights with sweatshirts or sweaters or anything else that doesn’t bother to cover their ass. What’s worse is when you can see through them AND they aren’t wearing underwear. First off that is just gross. Seriously I side eye the hell out of you for that. Secondly it does NOT look good. There I said that too, YOU DO NOT LOOK GOOD!
Over the weekend while Matt and I were at the game a girl was at our tailgate wearing a sweatshirt and tights. While she wasn’t a large girl, she was by no means small. Plus you could see straight through them sans undies. She couldn’t have been warm and well……yeah. So wrong. Then I went to Michael’s on Sunday and sure enough the girl in line in front of me, tights and a sweatshirt.
This trend must stop. Girls, I’m telling you even the guys think its awful. Please stop! But for god sake if you do please wear undies.

I is crafty
Over the weekend I got the craft bug. A trip to Michael’s and lots of money later I had tons of stuff for various craft projects. One such idea I found on Pinterest was to use old cookie cutters and make them into Christmas ornaments. As luck would have it I HAVE a few old cookie cutters that would be great ornaments. And lets face it I couldn’t (and didn’t) use them. So instead of them continuing to sit in the kitchen taking up space I decided to give them new life.
First I found some cute scrapbook paper. Then I cut the paper to fit inside each cookie cutter. This is not as easy as you might think. After the first one I had the brilliant idea to use some ink on the cookie cutter to help give me a better outline. That was a HUGE help.
The horse was a pain even with the outline.
As you can imagine stamping the outline on the back of the paper helped a lot. Once I got the paper in both cutters I proceeded to slather them in mod podge. At first I just put it on the cutter and put the paper on. It easily came out so I decided to just go for it. Then I added some cute scrap book flowers. It wasn’t exactly what I was looking for but at that point I had been in Michael’s entirely too long.
They don’t look bad. I think the tree looks better with the flower but whatever. I just need to add some ribbon to the back (once I get glue sticks to fit the glue gun I bought) and I think I might paint the outside of the horse. I haven’t decided yet. But as you can see I have a couple of cute ornaments that have meaning and only cost me a few bucks to make.

Happy Birthday
Mr Julio! Today is the day we assume you were born so that makes you officially 2 years old.
I can’t believe it’s almost been 2 years since we got Julio. He is such a fun little guy and adds so much to our family. Even though he still annoys the hell out of Hal I think she really does tolerate him. 😉

Wedding pics are officially up and posted to their page, 6 months later. I finally got the video to work and I think it turned out pretty good. It might be a tad long but that’s okay.
Enjoy!

Thanksgiving table
My new obsession with Pinterest has fueled my desire to decorate the house. For the past few days I’ve been trying to decide how to decorate the table for Thanksgiving. We will be hosting Matt’s parents and maybe another couple. This means I want to do something great for our Thanksgiving table. I ran to Carolina Pottery yesterday and found a really great bowl but it was too large, not really the right color and well, too pricey.
At lunch today I ran to World Market and wouldn’t you know they had the SAME platter only smaller, in the right color and the price was a hell of a lot better. You know I bought it and the rest of my table will work with said platter. The only problem is, now that the table is set I think it needs more. MORE I say! The table looks nice but “too clean” if that makes sense. I guess I will be making a few more trips to Carolina Pottery, Michaels, etc. before the holiday.
I have pics but I don’t think I will post them yet 😉

Wedding pics?
The the last few days I’ve been working on getting a video done of our wedding pics. I downloaded Windows Movie Maker and after a lot of cursing I think I finally got everything where I wanted it. Now I can’t get Vimeo to upload my damn video. GRRR! So while I had hoped I would be able to say I had wedding pics up, I can’t. They aren’t and I have no idea what is wrong.
Hopefully sometime this week I’ll be able to get this video working and posted. Until then I’m going back to Pinterest to obsess over all things pretty.
