Our Apartment is So Cute!

So, tonight, instead of going out, Roomie and I decided to continue to beautify our apartment. We planted some pansies into a upcycled postal service box, I made a yarn wreath (my first attempt!) for our front door, and Rooms hung a new picture above our TV. Here are some pictures to highlight the experience. The rest will be on facebook/tumblr.

 Punching holes in the bottom so that it can drain.

 Oh no! Out of potting soil!

 Emergency trip to Lowe's for more potting soil/rocks for the bottom of the planter.

 Yeah! Got some soil/rocks!

 Arg....these rocks are SO heavy!

 Rocks in ze bottom

 I set you free extra soil that spilled on the balcony!

 Puttin' in some pansies!

 Water 'em in.

 Super cute planter!!!

 Rooms putting nails into the wall.

 Look at the super cute picture I picked out!

 Ain't it pretty?

 New over the TV area!

Oh, that would be me! I will probably still blog from here, but I am currently posting a quote-a-day on my tumblr. I am also sharing sweet stuff that I find. So......check it out!

What Wondrous Love Is This?

Journal Jar...

I got this idea from the lovely lady over at It's a Slow Learning Curve which can be found here

The tutorial I followed is here

I really like this idea. I love rereading old journals, but I am so bad at making a regular habit of it. So, I hope having some topics to journal about I can make it a good habit and record some excellent memories for myself. I also secretly hope that some day someone will come across my journals long after I'm gone, in some dusty old attic, and enjoy reading them and some relative will feel connected to me. Hmm....sounds like a movie. It's okay. I know that we all secretly wish our lives were a movie, or else we wouldn't watch so many of them.

Here are the pics. I think it turned out really cute! I cut out the top from a piece of scrapbooking paper, put the owl sticker on top, put sticker letters that says "journal jar", and mod podge-ed all of it down! I got prompts from all over the internet by typing "journal jar topics" into google. I wrote them on pink paper half because it gives it a festive look, half because I just moved home from college and have no idea where my white printer paper is. I hope you enjoy!
