Spring decorating.

Spring decorating is the new spring cleaning. We can push back the deep cleaning for fall.... just this once.

A while ago, garlands a lot like these were hanging in Anthropologie... and I LOVED them. These aren't really the exact ones but they are definitely similar.

You can make them out of coffee filters, sewing pattern paper, tissue paper, and string.
Obviously you don't have to use the white, brown and pink but its the cutest! It's just easy and briliant.
You can use any kind of printed paper in between the tissue paper and coffee filters, but I love love love the music pattern.

I might be crazy but I've been feeling creative since schools been out and my apartment needs a little vintage decor!

It would've been extremely deceiving to celebrate Alivia's birthday without some cupcake madness so that's exactly what we did. It was like a week long attack. Seriously.

Being up at school and away from my family gets pretty hard, and there's a select few that are constantly relieving me from the stressful reality of school and this girl is definitely one of them. She brings so much light and happiness to my life, she is basically one bright beam of optimism (...just don't try to boot her car or take away her dryer full of clothes...). I love her so much and I'm so grateful to have her with me while battling the real world in p town everyday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIV!
