Pretty in Pink, Ombre Style

images via Pinterest & Martha Stewart
You're welcome Mom and Bara.  I have officially sucked lately.  I spend most of my day on a computer and the last thing I want to do when I get home is hop on the computer and search around which a lot of times is where I find a ton of inspiration.  Excuses, excuses, I know, but it's true!  :)  I hate that I've left the blog high and dry.  I had a little time this weekend to surf around, between the crazy weather on Friday, yours truly seriously thought she was a goner!  Nashville had quite the scare and I happened to just drive right through it all.  Hail came down like I've never seen before, but luckily that's the only thing that touched down!  With the hail, came colder weather and when it's cold, I don't feel guilty about sitting around in my comfies reading my blogs, pinning and spending way too much time on the computer!  Tonight I'm dreaming of pretty warm days, parties for no particular reason and spending time with my family and friends.  Why not do it in style, ombre style that is!  I'm seeing lots of ombre lately and I'm especially loving it with a pretty pink hue.  Enjoy these inspiring images and if you're feeling especially crafty, head on over to Martha and learn how to make a pretty little pendant, ridiculously cute invitations, or to Green Wedding Shoes for a how to on this pretty backdrop!

DIY-A Better Friend


One of my goals this year is to be a better friend.  It's so hard to keep up with everyone, sure there is facebook but it can be impersonal.  I want to express to my friends how much they truly mean to me, even if I don't talk to them every day or see them but once a year if I'm lucky, they really do mean the world to me.  I love getting random cards and special surprises, it just makes my day!  So tonight, I'm going to share with you some fun little DIY projects I've found from various favorite blogs that would be easy to make and show that special person of yours how much you care!  Watch out friends, you just might have some goodies coming your way!

New Years Eve Wishlist

clockwise left to right:  one / two / three / four

I should go ahead and warn you, no new post for tomorrow.  I know you're sad but don't worry...I'll be back at it New Year's day and friends, it's going to be a great year!  So tonight, I bring you New Years Eve wishlist edition.  I would party my socks off in this amazing room (minus the ladder although I see some fun picture taking there), wearing my beautiful dress, sipping on this pretty cocktail and of course getting my picture taken in this fancy DIY photobooth (you need to check out Jordan's blog, Oh Happy Day, it's one of my favorites and she has fancy and fabulous DIY tutorials)!  I hope you all have a HAPPY and safe New Years!  In real life, you can find me hanging with the fella ringing in the New Year with friends and hopefully an almost equally awesome dress!
