Trust

fearing what may be, trusting the lord with all my heart, & surrendering everything to him & his will is something that ive continuously struggled with. upon a closer look, what christian has this perfect all the time? at one time or another we all feel & struggle with these things. ive always strived to be as independent as i possibly could, careful not to depend on anyone else 100%..so that everything was in my control or atleast it seemed that way. truth is their is only so much i can control. the more i give my life to god the happier i am. im finding myself slowly letting go of these ridiculous standards i set for myself.

DIY

i diy-ed these paper straws for our engagement party that just passed. after practicing on a few i got my rhythm down & was able to churn them out pretty quick with the help of my sissy. their such an adorable way to customize any event!

2013 first post

happy 2013! my year began much like last years..sick in bed with the flu. after finally recovering, while out to dinner with a girlfriend, i suffered a severe allergic reaction to something i ate. i most definitely freaked out as ive never experienced a food allergy before, let alone seen my face riddled with dime size swollen lumps. i was horrified & scared to say the least. ive finally recovered & back on track.

today, i made my first attempt at project bridesmaid. it was a complete bust with my sugar cookies looking like they were decorated by a 5 year old. piping icing sure does skill! however, through my failure emerged the theme & the direction of how I'll be asking my girlfriends to be my bridesmaid. an idea that i'm happy with! brainstorming will now cease after months of ideas bouncing around in my head. it's time to execute.

with the extra cookie dough i had on hand, i made nutella stuffed sugar cookies & got the two thumbs up from my taste testers!
