A little bit of everything...

Well it's been a few days so allow me to update you on the latest happenings of life...

Last Saturday I chopped over a foot of hair off...

I'm not going to lie, I already miss my long hair {as I knew I would} but I also love my fresh look and summer do.  =)

I also got a text from this beautiful friend of mine, 

 Miss Kristin Joy, notifying me that she is soon to be wed!  She called me later that afternoon asking if I would like to be a bridesmaid; an honor which I was of course overjoyed to accept.
I am so super stoked!!! 
She is going to be a beautiful bride.
Also, check out her fab photos here and here.

{Kristin was our wedding photographer...

our blog header is a showcase of her superior talent!}

Then, just a little later on Saturday, I got a phone call from my fab mom-in-law saying that she found a Cricut at a garage sale for $50!!!  

YES PLEASE.

So she's calling it an early birthday present... my birthday isn't until October.  I told her this means she's really not allowed to get me anything else...
I'll be reminding her monthly until then.  

My in laws are super wonderful, they spoil me way more than they should.  =)

So yesterday when I was sent home from work early I took advantage of some unexpected time to get to know my new Cricut! 
A result of my piddling around...

This brings us to today...

I've discovered a lovely DIY Mother's Day gift for both mommy's on a fellow blogger's site... though I clearly cannot post how my creation turned out until the shipment has reached them. =)
