paper straws wholesale party forever…

 I’ve been meaning to give a whole hearted shout-out to Kim over at TomKat Studios and her beautiful Fairy Garden birthday  paper straws wholesale  party forever… and just in case you need a recap of the amazing details, here are some of my favorite photos.

In Chenin’s words: “I think my favorite project was the flower vases, which I made out of recycled glass paper treat bags  jars and dryer ducting.  We also had a Make-Your-Own-Robot Station, where kids (and adults, it turns out….) could choose a blank paper robot and decorate him.”

Stop by and check out the step-by-step paper plates  directions, you’ll love Tiffany’s blog. We headed out to Florida last week for a wedding and to relax a bit as a family before the summer was officially over. It was a much needed vacation! Beautiful beaches, warm weather, good friends. Heading home we also managed to visit not one but four cities (with an unplanned overnight in Phoenix – where we had family, huge blessing) due to inclement weather. Speaking of blogs to recommend, I have a new Friday Guest Interview set for tomorrow – another one of my favorites.

Travel at its best :).

A great getaway for our little family of four, we were all getting a little restless after more than a few months at home. But now it’s nice to be back after a busy adventure.Guys, marriage is hard. Marriage needs nurturing and attention and lots of love. Do you know what is so reviving and so awesome for marriage? A weekend getaway. I wish I had discovered the importance of just ‘leaving all the crazy behind’ for a few days years ago because our little getaway was so great. Kevin and I have happily been together for 11 paper drinking straws  years now (married for seven) and we celebrated this particular anniversary in a bit more style than we have in the past.
