Number 1: Here I give you my newest pair of shorts. I give credit to Carrie my sister for this one. While on vacation in Breckenridge last month she had a pair of cut-off bermuda shorts on that were super cute. She had apparently just cut a pair of jeans off that she didn't wear anymore and rolled them up. EASSSYY RIGHT?! Yeah I know...sadly I couldn't even think of that on my own. So I made my own from a pair of jeans that I haven't worn in who knows how long!

Photobooth on the Mac doesn't do them justice. They're cute....I promise

Number 2: Fabric Flower Necklace. My adorable friend Lyndsey Parker sent me this idea. I could not wait to get started so I headed straight over to JoAnn Fabrics with coupons in hand and bought the supplies. I went to flower making school at my kitchen table for only a couple hours and BAM! here you have it. I succeeded! Cute right??!! If you want the tutorial let me know and I'll post it. Thank you Lynds for such a fabulous craft, I love the way it turned out!

Number 3: "You Are My Happy" Poster. So I was stalking people on "pintrest" the other day and found this cute quote that I fell in love with. I decided I needed it for my own place. However, it wasn't quite the right colors. So I put my minimal InDesign skills to work (meaning my ZERO skills. It's a total guess and check process for me, which is why it takes me hours to create things! but worth the time I'd say) and I came up with this...
