Jewelry Organizer

Hey it's me! I know, long time since I posted.  So since we moved into our new apartment (WAY back in April), I knew I wanted a better way to organize and display my jewelry.  So where else did I turn to but Pinterest! There are LOTS of ideas on there, however, one stuck out to me and it seemed easy enough to make.  So I headed out and purchased my materials and it all came together very well! I'm extremely pleased with it!

Here's how mine turned out! The shelf is great for putting my hoop earrings and bracelets on.  And it's so organized! On to the next pinterest project! :)

Hubby's Bday!

So much has been going on in my life lately! I haven't been able to update my blog! I wanted to give a recap of the beginning of my favorite time of the year! 

Last weekend was Ricky's birthday as well as the beginning of football season.   It started out on Tuesday.  I decided I wanted to make Ricky's favorite cookies, which is a special recipe from one of his mothers cookbooks.  So we went over there to make them.  Here I am with my two helpers.

My helpers, one is stirring and the other is eating the batter.
Then on Ricky's actual bday he wanted to do dinner and bowling with friends.
The birthday boy and me.  He's the big 2-8!!
He got a Turkey!!! It's tradition for him to take a pic like this  :)
Saturday was Cowboy football!!! We have split season  tickets (he's OU, I'm OSU).  But notice he's wearing an OSU shirt? This should show you how much he loves me :) 
What's a tailgate without shotgunning a beer......
My girls :)
Ricky's bday cake!!! 


What else do men do at a tailgate? Grill!!!
The Walk!
More girls! 
Meredith is notorious for drinking the bottle of choice for the day....today it was water....Soooo hot!
Me and my man :)
Sunday we headed to Ricky's parents for another bday celebration.  Ellie and I had fun with the camera.

It was a great weekend and I'm so glad he is home now to celebrate! Hopefully lots of birthdays to come!
