My Obsession...

trees

 For those who know me/read my blog you know that my wedding theme

 is rustic-chic/tree theme.

So I had to share with yall my favorite pictures of a tree that I took last week.

Their is something about trees that just amaze me,

 I think its the fact that a tree has

so much history and has seen so much. 

Some trees have been around for hundreds of

years and has seen so many different things.

Call me weird but I love to think like that

Am I the only one with a tree obsession??

Have a great weekend everyone!

What I {Wanted} To Wear...Fit for a Princess??

 I was slack this week with the"What I Wore Wednesday." I

had a place (ie mole or whatever) cut off my side on Tuesday
so I really haven't been in the mood to dress up,
plus my side hurts to wear anything but sweat pants.

I promise next week I will have great outfit to make up for it.

Here are a few things what I would of *wanted* to wear.

Kate Middleton

I love everything about her style..even those amazing hats she pulls off,

gods knows they would look hideous on me.

I love Kate's style and I think she is GORGEOUS! 

Am I the only one excited about the

Royal Wedding??

Anthropologie

This is what I would love to wear to my 2nd bridal shower on Sunday.

DIY Birch Wood Centerpieces

I'm so thrilled to be able to show yall one of my many wedding crafts that I tackled

Everyone remembers that I'm doing a rustic lodge theme right? Well if not, you can take a

 look at it HERE.

This week I had a craft night at my friends Kecia's house, so much fun, loved being able to use my

wood burning tool!

Take a look at what we made.

My Inspiration

via

My Birch Wood Centerpieces

Here is how I made them

First I heated up my wood burner.

Then I cut out a heart shaped template & traced a heart outline onto the wood.

Take your knife and carve over what you just outlined.

This makes the wood burning step so much easier to do.

I highly recommend you carving a outline.

{what it looks like carved}

Next- take your wood burner and gently glide over your carved area.

Pretty neat huh? These were so quick & simple to make.

I thought they turned out perfect!

Stay tuned for more of my DIY wedding crafts!

How to Celebrate Earth Day?

1. Plant a Tree- Planting trees helps to reduce greenhouse gas, cleans pollution,

secures soil and helps with erosion, and provides home for animals.

2. Reduce-Reuse-Recycle: Do this all day long! Recycle your plastic bags, take cloth bags with you to the grocery store. Take drink containers with you-reuse plastic water

bottles.  Donate your old toys, clothes to others. Just don't throw

them away.

3. Pick up Litter- Get a group together and pick of trash along the side of the road or 

around your neighborhood. Many company's donate gloves and bags for
