TIM: Things I've Made {Faux Porcelain Pearl Ring}

You guys get 2 TIM posts this week! LUCKY! :)

Today I'm talking about this HUGE pearl ring DIY that I saw from Fall for DIY. You can find the tutorial in that link...but here's how mine turned out:

All you need is faux porcelain {Michaels}, and wire in whatever color you want {I used a little thinner wire than FFDIY, because that's what I had and it probably would have 

worked better with the thicker wire, but it still works),

In other news...I got this darling LOVE banner from Lisa Leonard and I love the way it looks with my picture banner. Go check out Lisa Leonard's shop--she is amazing!

Typewriter

I've always wanted a vintage typewriter, but they are hard to find/are expensive...

so I found this fake photo display typewriter and had to have it.

This'll work til i'm rich and famous and can buy a real one. :)

Dad's Birthday Inspiration Boards

Today is my daddy's birthday. I love him so much! He is so good to me. He is strong in the gospel and does things he doesn't want to because he knows it will make him stronger and it will be a good example for his family. He works hard to pay for me to go to school, for me to follow my dreams, for me to live.

Happy Birthday Dad!

this is my favorite picture of my parents. so darling!

ALSO: here's a little peek at my Inspiration boards in my room. I change them every once in a while, but it's so fun to get inspired everyday by the beauty that is around me. Inspiration for outfits, colors, words, EVERYTHING happy and pretty.

Do you have inspiration boards? I'd love to see them!

TIM: Things I've Made {Cheers}

Drinking out of a Champagne glass makes anything taste 98% better. And when your glass has quirky vinyl on the side?  i'm done. pour me a glass of bubbly and i'll be shinin' the whole night through.

Bookshelves

The thing I love most in life are books. Because they can transport you anywhere. Even though my room is incredibly tiny, I still have to make room for my books.

 Not only are they fun to read, but they're beautiful to look at!
