Mr Beau Beau

Today you are 2

it seems like it was just yesterday that T and I were bringing you home

Now you're a big boy and I don't know what we ever did without you

You make our lives so much more entertaining and you

will always be momma and daddy's wittle snuggle bunny

Happy Birthday Beau!

DIY Wine Cork Letters

I have a fun little DIY project for y'all...

Wine Cork Letters

I don't know if y'all know this or not..

but I love me some wine and I also collect wine bottles..

so why not make something cute from all those left over corks?

Here's what you need:

-Wooden Letters (I got mine from AC Moore)

-Wine Corks (they also sell these at any craft store) 

-Hot Glue Gun & Glue

There really is no tutorial needed..you just glue the corks to the wooden letter.

It was kinda like a puzzle to figure out which ones fit where since my corks were all different sizes..
oh and make sure you sit them all down on the letter first before gluing them down.

I decided to put my letters on top of our fridge with my wine bottle collection..but you could hang it on the wall, put it on the mantle, or on your front door.

A year ago today

A year ago today.. I posted my very first post on blogger..

never in a million years did I think that my blog would turn out to be what it is today!

When I started blogging, I really didn't realize what I was doing, I didn't know what to post about, how to design my blog, or who I should follow.

Not only have I found some amazing blogs, but I have found some amazing people..some whom I've met in real life and some I haven't..but hope to one day.

My blog is more to me then just a website. 

It's somewhere where I can get advice, humor or knowledge.

and my blog definitely would not be what it is today, 

without Y'ALL..the readers.

So thank you, for the advice, the laughs, the tips/tricks or even just sweet comments.

Also, y'all let me know if there are any things 

you want me to talk more/less about..I'd love your opinions to 

make my blog even better!

Happy Birthday Blog!!!
