I win, I win!

If anyone keeps up with me on here, you know that I went to Houston this past weekend for my parents b-days. It was an amazing weekend and I was so happy to see everyone and squeeze a billion activities into 2 days, but the fun had to end and I made the 4.5 hour drive back to Terrell last night. This time, I brought most of my crafting stuff that I had left behind during my move from Houston because I now know what all I can cram into my bedroom. I had to make seven trips to and from the car to unload everything once back in Terrell and when I opened the door to my room I found a small package from the UK...
I love packages and ripping them open is definitely a good feeling

A while back I had entered a give away @ The Wollie Blog and with all the birthday excitement I had forgot about winning!
 Inside the package, I found a pair of super duper cute acorn earrings and a Wollie DIY Owl kit. I can not wait to sit down and deck this little guy out.
If you are curious to see how this DIY kit can turn out, click here
Then, if you like what you see click here to check out Olly's shop and more delightful critters

So...what do you think of my new earrings???
I love them!
You better believe I wore them to work today :)
I think I may have to buy a few things from the Wollie shop


Thank you so much Olly
If you haven't been to The Wollies Blog, you should. They have some pretty cute critters running around :)

people need to write more love letters





i love making handmade birthday cards for all the people i love. my main love language is lil messages either around the house, postcards in the mail, refridgerator/bathroom notes, hidden notes under your pillow... you get the idea. jacobs love notes made me fall in love with him when we were dating. i would come home from a weekend trip or work to have a trail of notes all the way from the back door to my room:) i never throw away a card, postcard, or love note from anyone!  

so i decided i needed to spread the love and send more postcards out since i always receive them, its only fair. plus, it feels super good to have a surprise in your mailbox right?

i used to send out postcards to my new clients at the sunchild and i think it's time to get back to that, now they will be handmade with love and vintage fabric!

oh and this would also be a super cute way to send out your christmas/holiday cards this year. i would love to see some in my mailbox...hint hint:)

now that im looking at these photos i think i need to add some stitching to these babies!

enjoy the song of the day. i figured it was appropriate for this rainy day blog.
