simpleton pleasures.

So there is this cute little blog, Simpleton Pleasures , and they are hosting an awesome giveaway with some of their favorite simple pleasures! My bud, Ruthie really digs the necklace so I thought I would enter so I can hopefully win it for her (along with everything else)! But you should enter too, even though that will lessen my chance of winning (; The goods are:
1: Fudge Brownies.
2: Bath and Body Works Leaves Candle
3: LavenderLark Ivy Hair Barrettes
4: COCOA BUTTER
5: Peter Pan Collar Necklace (with matching earrings)

Good luck to all!

feeling HOT. HOT. HOT.

Since the weather is cold and snowy in New York, I decided to send something "hot" to Kurtis!

 This "Hey There, Hot Stuff!" Package Includes:

-A spiffy new tie courtesy of R.C. Staples and CTR Clothing!

-Sweet and Spicy Trail Mix from Dollar General

-Red Hots

-Jalapeno Cheddar Pretzels (Pretty sure they are Rold Gold brand)

-Atomic Fireballs

(Sorry for the blurriness, my camera was having a spaz attack)

-Hotlix Cinnamon Toothpicks

-Stress Putty and Chapstick from UVU Health Services to make him feel like a college kid(:

-A golf ball for knocking on doors to save your knuckles and hand in the cold. (You put it in your glove)

-An Apple and Cinnamon air freshener

-"HOT" Chocolate

-More spicy trail mix, this time in a can!

-Little Hotties Hand Warmers and a couple of body warmers.

-Zesty Salsa Wheat Thins

I only photographed one of each item in the last picture. I included more hand warmers, hot chocolate, and wheat thins- I'm not cheap haha(;

I hope this package helps you or gives you your own ideas to send to  a missionary or loved one!

P.S. All of these items (barely) fit in a Medium Priority Mail Flat Rate Box!

As a result of being bored, I designed (with the help of the watercolor background which I do not take credit for) myself a new phone case! I wish I had a printer so I could put it in my case right now. Without further ado, here is the design! If you would like a custom design let me know, I would be more than happy to make you one(: 

It is still so crazy to think that Kurtis has been gone for almost five months. At times it feels like the time we have left is so long, but to look back and see how far we've come and to think how quickly that has gone by is so exciting. I can't wait to be Mrs. Meinhardt. Like the quote says, distance really does make the heart grow fonder. When I see him again I anticipate major butterflies and to fall in love all over again. He is so worth it.

P.S. It has been a little over a year that I have posted on this blog. Senior year was the busiest year of my life and it is weird to say I am a college student. College is great, you get to see and learn so many new things. I am preparing myself to be a wife and a Mom (and to make bank and get rich) !

DIY Lace Collar Necklace

Here's the DIY for this super cute, affordable, easy, and fun project!!

It started off with a trip to the craft store to buy some burlap, and ended in crafting heaven!

I had seen the model lace before at the craft store, they've probably been sitting on that shelf collecting dust for I don't know, 30 years? Well I had a purpose for them and the cashier gave me 50% off! Yes please!

So first, find some model lace (I hope you all have access to it!) these are the ones I bought! ($12 for all!)

Take a necklace chain (I used some chains from a broken necklace I had) and use the small needle nose pliers and attach the lace pieces together. I did a few at the bottom to attach that!

And that's about it! Easy, easy!

Nails. Nails. Nails.
