Wishing For
..... to jump into these bubbles like Mary Poppins to get away
.... a movie night by the fire (with Vanilla Bean Candles)
..... the sound of the twins laughing
..... Everyone to have a wonderful weekend
......... a moment of peace.

Today

Today it may be raining, but that doesn't mean we can't still have fun!
Here are some things that have already brightened my day...
* Moments remembered ... This is how I want to remember my wedding day.
* Inspiration ... I am writing my resume and personal statement for a job today. This is motivating.
* Home organization for two ... I love this idea for my fiancee. He always forgets when things are and looses his keys. ;)
* Bring on the Show with two of Hollywood's sexy men ... I don't know if this will be good, but I am willing to give it a try. ;)
* The Spirit of Love ... These photos are so precious!

Magnetic Chalkboard Mirror
How adorable is this? I would love to try this project with my boyfriend. Found on Design* Sponge.Materials:
-Vintage (or new, depending on your desire) frame or mirror
-Thin piece of steel
-Primer
-Chalkboard Paint
-Spray adhesive
-Spray or regular paint for the frame
1. The mirror was disassembled and the mirror and backing board were saved
2. The mirror that was in the original frame was used as a template in order to draw the shape needed for the sheet metal, Easyboard, and spacing/backing cardboard. All items were cut out of the original stock. The sheet metal was cut with aviation snips, the Eashboard and cardboard were cut out with a carpet knife.
**if you’re not experienced or uncomfortable with cutting metal, please pick up a sheet of metal and have it cut to size at your local hardware store, or hire an affordable handyman on craigslist to do the cutting for you**
**alternatively: if you’d rather not deal with metal and don’t plan on hanging heavy items on the board, you can simply paint or spray the original frame/mirror with chalkboard paint and skip this step.**
3. The sheet metal was adhered to the Easyboard using the spray adhesive. A coating was applied to both surfaces in order to get a good lamination and then a large piece of plywood with cinderblocks were put on it in order to press them together for several hours.
4. The sheet metal surface was re-cleaned and then sprayed with a couple of coats of primer.
5. The sheet metal was then sprayed with the chalkboard paint.
6. The frame was cleaned and sprayed with the spray paint using numerous coats in order to get a complete coverage.
7. After the paint was dried, the frame was sprayed with clear coat in order to obtain a shiny, clean, hard surface for the frame.
8. After the frame dried completely the assembly took place first installing the metallic laminated chalkboard, then a cardboard spacer, and then the original backing was re-installed using the original screws and staples.

Book club treats and something extra
These bookplates cracked me up. I have been asked to join a book club and I think these would be perfect starter gifts.
Also, the Periodic table of Sediments would be a perfect for my boyfriend.
