My Obsession...
trees
 For those who know me/read my blog you know that my wedding theme
 is rustic-chic/tree theme.
So I had to share with yall my favorite pictures of a tree that I took last week.

Their is something about trees that just amaze me,
 I think its the fact that a tree has
so much history and has seen so much. 
Some trees have been around for hundreds of
years and has seen so many different things.
Call me weird but I love to think like that

Am I the only one with a tree obsession??

Have a great weekend everyone!

What I {Wanted} To Wear...Fit for a Princess??

 I was slack this week with the"What I Wore Wednesday." I
had a place (ie mole or whatever) cut off my side on Tuesday
so I really haven't been in the mood to dress up,
plus my side hurts to wear anything but sweat pants.
I promise next week I will have great outfit to make up for it.

Here are a few things what I would of *wanted* to wear.


Kate Middleton
I love everything about her style..even those amazing hats she pulls off,
gods knows they would look hideous on me.

Royal Wedding??





Anthropologie

DIY Birch Wood Centerpieces

I'm so thrilled to be able to show yall one of my many wedding crafts that I tackled
Everyone remembers that I'm doing a rustic lodge theme right? Well if not, you can take a
 look at it HERE.
This week I had a craft night at my friends Kecia's house, so much fun, loved being able to use my
wood burning tool!
Take a look at what we made.


My Inspiration



My Birch Wood Centerpieces





Here is how I made them


First I heated up my wood burner.


Then I cut out a heart shaped template & traced a heart outline onto the wood.


Take your knife and carve over what you just outlined.


This makes the wood burning step so much easier to do.
I highly recommend you carving a outline.

{what it looks like carved}

Next- take your wood burner and gently glide over your carved area.



Pretty neat huh? These were so quick & simple to make.
I thought they turned out perfect!

Stay tuned for more of my DIY wedding crafts!

How to Celebrate Earth Day?

1. Plant a Tree- Planting trees helps to reduce greenhouse gas, cleans pollution,
secures soil and helps with erosion, and provides home for animals.

2. Reduce-Reuse-Recycle: Do this all day long! Recycle your plastic bags, take cloth bags with you to the grocery store. Take drink containers with you-reuse plastic water
bottles.  Donate your old toys, clothes to others. Just don't throw
them away.

3. Pick up Litter- Get a group together and pick of trash along the side of the road or 
around your neighborhood. Many company's donate gloves and bags for
