Back to Reality

Hey everyone! I know it has been a while but that was to be expected since I was on staycation at my brother's house since Thursday night with no computer. I took off Saturday for a three day weekend and it was really nice! I really needed a break and some time to recharge my batteries. I have a few pictures to share from the weekend and I will be back with some food photos later in the week. Today we have puppies and crafting stuff!


The pups were not cooperative with taking pictures but I managed to get a few. Here is Tyler looking totally annoyed that I'm in his face.


And here is TJ with his sad little puppy face. He always looks sad but is actually the biggest goofball ever.


This is basically the epitome of their personalities. Tyler gives zero F**cks about everything and TJ is just a total goof. This picture makes me laugh so hard.

As I mentioned in my last post, I got together with my friend on Sunday and we did some shopping. We spent a long time in Michael's as I was looking to stock up on crafting supplies and pocket letter supplies and I got so much great stuff! Thanks to sales and the generous Michael's coupons I got everything at a great price as well. Check out what I got!


All the way to the left I have little Floss Bobbins that I'm going to use to make Washi Tape samples. Next to it is the word washi I have been searching for! I've been looking for months and I finally got my hands on it. I thought the little tags were super cute and I'm going to make a thread bracelet with that gorgeous color combo. The cornflower to the far right is my power color I think ;)


Here we have a ton of stickers and some sequins. Again, we had some great sales and I had to take advantage.


Finally we have a book of watermelon (!!!) themed paper that was on sale big time and a pack of white card stock. I'm going to split the watermelon paper with a planner friend because I'll never use all of it.


Here is my July monthly spread!! I really love this spread because it is the red, white and blue but it doesn't look like the 4th of July exploded on the page. I will do a weekly spread that is festive but this is so perfect for the monthly. I got this kit from Creating & Co. which is one of my favorite shops as I've mentioned before.


Here is this week's spread! I am OBSESSED. I am all about under the sea anything so this beautiful kit is just everything. I love it. Decorating really makes me use my planner more and I just love looking at it! This is the Summer Daze kit from a shop called Nicole Alexia Designs. I've decided to start linking to my favorite shops because I know a few of you expressed interest in decorative planning so I figured I'd let you know which shops I love!

That's all for today!! Once I get settled back into my routine I'll be able to do a food post. I hope that you are all well and had a great weekend! <3

    1. Yes, a weekend with the pups is a perfect way to recharge the batteries! They are such cuddle bugs I love it.

      Haha thanks! I used to be an organized chaos kind of gal but the planner is really helping me. The biggest improvement is that I used to have tons of lists EVERYWHERE and now it is all contained.

  2. I'm laughing about what you wrote in addition to the pups pic - "zero f**ks" - too funny!

    1. Hahaha that is Tyler to a T. He just doesn't care. Unless there is thunder or fireworks… then he'll have a total meltdown!

  3. Oh, sweet Tyler and TJ! Such cute little faces, and that roll over is hilarious! Michaels is a dangerous place, and I'm glad you found some good deals! I love the patriotic and summer themes for July! I can't believe June is nearly over. No! Slow down, summer!!

    1. I love their faces so much and TJ just chilling on his back looking at me makes me laugh so hard. He is so funny.

      Michael's is probably my new favorite store, we spent so much time in there. They have great coupons pretty much all the time. I know I can't believe how quickly the summer is flying by! Although it definitely affects you more than me! I hope you are enjoying every second of your summer break!

  5. I want to squeeze the crap out of those little white puppies so bad! They are definite 10s on the cuteness scale.

    Glad you had fun at Michaels. I am not crafty, but I have enjoyed browsing in there.

    1. I know, they are too much! TJ is too much with his goofiness!

      It's such a fun store. You can find so much stuff there and you don't necessarily have to be into crafting to enjoy it :)
