A sweet birthday gift:

Thanks to my awesome mother-in-law, I have $75 to spend on books from Amazon! Plus she got me a subscription to ReadyMade magazine. Thank you! I'm going to love picking out my books!

Also: Happy Birthday, Ryan! I love you!

Birthday gift from Ryan:

We're on our way out to lunch, but I wanted to post what my amazing husband gave me for my birthday. He picked out this beautiful white gold pendant with black and white diamonds in it. It is so pretty. I'm wearing it to dinner tonight, so maybe I'll get some more pictures of it. Thank you, Ryan. xoxo.

Birthday gift from my awesome mom:

I was about to leave this morning to run a couple errands, when UPS knocked on my door and handed me a Zappos.com box! He also gave Daisy a nice bone. So this post is to thank my mom for being so sweet, and getting me these knitted boots to keep my toes warm this winter. 

Love you! xoxo.

Last week Daisy was helping me get ready for the craft fair. When she left to take a break, Ryan saw this dot on her nose and told her to come see me. She had a hole-punched piece of paper on her nose and was nice enough to let me take a picture of it. Cuteness.

Ryan's Haircut

I cut Ryan's hair last week. He said he wanted it really short, but didn't want it buzzed. It took me forever, but I think it came out ok. I think I'll be much faster next time. It's scary cutting hair!

Daisy approved.

Rearranged the living room last night:

I don't have any "before" photos, but to give you an idea, neither of those shelves were there (on either side of the tv). The plants were on the floor and didn't get much light. I think they'll be much happier where they are now.
