We have a hammock!

Last week Ben and I received a wedding present and it is my favorite gift thus far other than our teapot.  I love our hammock so much that I think about it while I'm at work.  Earlier today I made a plan that included June and Zoe (our dogs), Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager, my backyard, Ben and our hammock.  So this Monday hasn't been half bad. We hung our hammock over our little creek.  So if you fall out, you get wet.  I think it is more...

Mixed Tape from Ben

My husband is wonderful and I have mentioned before that he makes mixed CDs (not actually mixed tapes) for me for holidays and random occasions. I love these CDs so much.  Isn't a mixed CD such a thoughful gift?  I decided to share this mixed CD because I think that you can tell a lot about a person by the music they enjoy. This is a list of songs from the CD he made for me for Christmas 2009. Christmas 2009 Mix Side Note:  Ben said, "I...

10 things about My (Atlanta) Weekend

I love Atlanta.  I really do. 10 things about my (Atlanta) weekend: I love all the beautiful houses with pretty front yard flowers and plants, fun windows and doors and front porches made for lounging.  I especially love the Virginia Highland neighborhood of Atlanta.  Not just because some of my friends live there but that helps. Around the corner from my friend's house is Paper Source.  I have loved Paper Source for some time now but mostly from online window shopping.   I seriously did not want to leave the store. We had a bridal dress appointment at 3:45 p.m. on Saturday.  This...

DIY Christmas Projects

I am supposed to be taking down our Christmas tree.  Instead here are a few of my Christmas projects: 1.  Gift tags from scrap paper I made the blue ones from the inside of those envelopes that come with bills, I used a rubber stamp on the green one and both the green patterned one and the red pattered one I made from scraps of Martha Stewart craft paper from Wal-Mart.  The lace looking tag was made using a Martha Stewart lace punch. 2.  Ugly Christmas Ornaments I made these at Dandy Doodles, which is one of those paint your...

Mine is Jack White (White Stripes)

My husband and I have an understanding.  If I ever meet Jack White, all bets are off.  Since it would only be fair, Ben is allowed a similar "celebrity crush."  His changes pretty often.  For years it was Claire Danes because he was a huge "My So Called Life" fan, but lately I believe he has changed it to Natalie Portman.  Maybe mine should be Natalie Portman... My Top Ten Favorite White Stripes tunes: "Hotel Yorba" White Blood Cells "Fell in Love with a Girl" White Blood Cells "We're Going to Be Friends" White Blood Cells "Jolene" Under Blackpool Lights (Dolly Parton remake) "My Doorbell" Get...
