Happy New Year! I would like to thank all of my readers! 2012 was a wonderful year for me, full of new and amazing adventures. I am sorry I was unable to post as many things as I had planed, but I really did do a lot of things. I have only one more thing to post. My top (20 something) albums of 2012. I'm working on it and I should have it posted by tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed the outfit post, recipes, and photos. May God bless you and your family this new year!

I FALL for it everytime.

I won this.

about 2 weeks ago is signed up to win a necklace from Too Much Soul on the blog: What Mimi Writes.
Here's what I won:

I think it looks like the necklace Pocahontas wears in the Disney version.

Thanks to What Mimi Writes for this lovely prize!
And thanks to my readers!

Photoshoot: Ready for Fall.

How To: Photo card magnet.

You know how you always have those old photo cards you get from family, those leftover photo graduation invites, and the photo Christmas cards. Every year you clean up your fridge, closet door, or bulletin board, to make room for the boat load that you will receive later. But you can't just keep them in a box tucked somewhere in your attic. Here is a DIY that takes those favorite photo cards and turns them into something you can keep on your fridge. It doesn't take up as much space as they used to, and looks really cute.

Materials needed:

Photo Cards

adhesive magnet sheet (I used an old magnet)

Scissors

Glue (not needed for adhesive magnet)

Button and/or stickers

 First cut out the parts of the card you want to use for your magnet.

 Here's what I had.

 Arrange the pieces on your magnet in the order you prefer.

 Add a touch of cuteness by gluing on buttons or placing your favorite sticker on your magnet.

And (BAM!!) you have a fancy magnet that will bring back memories and make your fridge look awesome!

Here is the finished product and some others I made.

 I hope you have as much fun as I did making this craft. Happy Wendnesday!
