Altered Books

I can never pass up vintage books at flea markets and garage sales, hence, I have piles of books. I'm always looking for ways to alter them into something I'd actually use, because - let's be honest - I don't read books very often (with the exception of Brown Bear and Good Night, Moon).

Birthday Weekend

I've officially started my last year in my twenties. Kind of a strange feeling, but I'm going to embrace it or at least try to. On Saturday we drove 2 hours to a family reunion.

On Monday we had dinner with some awesome friends. I love birthday flowers.
