Art Journal: Part I

I have been wanting to start an art journal forever and I finally have! I do not completely understand the difference between a sketchbook and an art journal but I have come to the conclusion that an art journal has your thoughts, ideas, and other stuff about you that maybe a normal sketchbook would not. I am so happy that I have finally started one!

DIY Gifts: 52 Reasons I Love You

When we were dating and our first Christmas was coming up I wanted to do something special for my husband (then boyfriend). I saw an interesting idea on Pinterest and I took it a step further.

The idea was I would get a deck of cards and come up with 52 reasons why I loved him. It may seem like a daunting task but if you truly love someone then it is surprisingly easy to come up with 52 reasons why that is. Even though 52 seems like a large number, believe me, you will be wishing you had more cards!

DIY Gifts: Date Night Book

My husband and I are always going back and forth on who has to choose what to do! Drive us both crazy....So, I decided to make him a gift that would solve at least some of our problems!! A Date Night Book!

Date Night Book
I got the idea somewhere online a while ago (sorry, no original link), it was most likely Pinterest.  Essentially, you can go through and write down "date nights" for you and your loved one to do! This takes  at least some of the back and forth out of deciding. =) I sat down and thought of all the things I thought would make good dates nights and made a list. They can be anything from seeing a movie to sitting at home snuggling on the couch or even going out and doing something bigger! It is all about making memories and spending time with the one you love. It does not actually have to cost anything!! My favorite part!
