Long time no blog/Nail Kit

Hello everyone! I am so sorry that it has been so long since I have blogged and I am going to change that right now. I suppose it is harder than it may seem sometimes to keep with a blog and to keep posting new and interesting content. After a long hiatus though I am willing to give this another go.

I wanted to start off my showing you a neat idea my mom and I found while browsing Pinterest around the holidays last December. We decided to make a nail kit to give a cousin for Christmas. The first jar we bought was to small since we got carried away with all of the items we purchase to include in her gift. It turned out really cute and she loved it!

We added some rub ons to decorate the outside and made a rosette for the top.

Ashcombe's Farm and Green Houses

We took a drive the other day over to Ashcombe's Farm and Green Houses. I wanted to get one of their pecan pies. mmmm! We had a good time looking at all the plants, nic-nacs, and food. Here's some pictures from our trip.

Plus we also stopped at some thrift stores to look at the old suitcases. My mom is making pet beds out of them. We found 2 blue ones and a pink one which should work. :)

Card Making!

I decided to make some cards yesterday since I haven't made any in a while. I enjoy making them and using them. :) I made some birthday cards and thank you cards. I am not sure that I like how the thank you ones came out. It is the thought that counts though right?

On another note my birthday is tomorrow so I will probably be blogging about it soon. We are going to a tea place so I will probably write about that, etc.
