Meet Nolan

Hello Friends!

Things are going well here in Nashville. I'm enjoying it alot. Found a church I love. and discovering new parts of my town each time i go out. But best of all my job here is wonderful! So I thought today i'd introduce to you my new little man, Nolan!

these range from one month old to three month old.

I've already started doing crafts with him.

Heart foot prints for Valentine's Day

Thumb and toe print clovers for St.Patrick's Day

Baby Chick for Easter

and here is Sofie Nolan's buddy.

i've also done some backing at work too.

1. Red Velvet White Choc. Chip cookies (minus food coloring) Recipe

2. french toast pound cake (think would be awesome with Choc. drizzled and whip cream)

3. Coke-Cola Cake (Sorry not great pic) Recipe

4.Chocolate Lasagna Recipe

Moving Update!

So I  just realized its been Foooooorever since i updated you all on my move to Nashville. so here is an update!

1.last i believe i shared was packing up my apartment and moving back in with my parents temporarily till i moved up to Nashville with the Boylans.

2. i am not going to be working for the Boylans like we thought. Brandon is going to continue the stay at home dad thing for a while. But i still felt God calling me to Nashville. This again shows Gods plans are rarely our plans.

3. So the boylans have graciously offer to let me stay with them temporarily should I find a job in Nashville. 

4. I started the job hunt...and thanks to my great friend Carol i cot connected with Greenhills Nanny Agency Andrea there is Awesome and i highly recommend them to anyone seeking a nanny or a nanny job!

5. I started driving to Nashville for interviews quite frequently.  interviews turned out to very useful for me to realize what i really wanted in a job/family and that was great/

6. I got a job! I got the call Friday and was es-tactic. i had interviewed twice with this awesome family and had been praying for the job a lot too. They are due with their first child a boy on Dec. 30th.  So i will start in February part time and then in March i'll go to full time. i figure it will be at the earliest end of March that i'll be getting an apartment. But I'm so thankful i'll be able to stay with the Boylans to get familiar with the area and to find a great apartment.

so there is the latest update on the move! and i'm really going to "try" to post some yummy goodies and other  things in the next few coming weeks.

Final Fitness Friday

So this will be brief because i have a cold :(
But I'm thinking my fridays will become craft fridays or something along those lines

Happy Friday

Have Fabulous Friday and I'm hoping to give a move update soon....

2nd to Last Fitness Friday

Good morning! so Im just back from a late morning run. And its already hot out. I'm trying to work on my up hill running while not losing speed but not much luck with that part. But i am doing better about not walking up the hills. little steps, and that is a ok with me!

Happy Friday!

Personalized Gift Bag

So I have this awesome friend who's getting married very soon and I got her a gift for her shower.  But I wanted a fun way to wrap it.  I came across this cute bag on Pinterest. but it turned out to be just an image that lead to an image website that is in a different language. So i decide to wing it myself.  And i'm pleased to say it turned out great. So i'm going to share it with you. 

here is the image I have to go off of.

So I gathered my tools...

~Canvas Bag

~Foam Brush

~Fabric Paint

~Paper Doily

~Freezer Paper

~Computer/Printer (for Letter)

Position the doily in the corner to your liking. I used double stick tape to hold the doily down. Then paint over the doily with your fabric paint. and pull off the doily when your done painting, no need for it to dry first.

Then pick your letter. I got on word and found the letter P i liked the best. (my friends new last name starts with the letter P) I printed it out. Next lay your freezer paper over the printed letter. Make sure the shiny side is face down. and use your cutting tool so trace/cut the letter out of your freezer paper.  Then iron the freezer paper onto the bag, and paint  over the freezer paper and peel off once you like the look. let dry and you have a gorgeous personalized bag.

Oh and the tulle bow i learned to make on pinterest too! 

Click here to see how it was made.  I added a safety pin to mine so it can be removed.

So a Gift to hold your Gift!  I hope you enjoy making your own!
