Anniversary

I found out that the fastest way to a man heart is through the gun range. Our anniversary was coming up and I wanted to do something other than dinner and a movie. We always talked about going to the gun range but never got around to doing it. I thought this would be a fun, masculine thing to do. I wanted to look for a class so we can get educated about guns and shooting while getting the opportunity to shoot.
So I took him to the gun range and we had a blast. I was very nervous because I have never even shot a gun. But we had an excellent time and will go back to their couples night.
Check out my work:



See I can take care of my husband wants-sometimes!

That's the domestication kicking in...

Fall Bouquet

I am now really into seasonal decoration. It actually gives me a little joy to have some change in my house instead it be so drab. I am going to make a nice small bouquet.

You need:
Silk Flowers
Scissors
vase (your choice in size)
water
bowl (that you really don't want)
water beads
wire cutters

Here it goes!

I chose a short round vase and I added the water beads. You let the water beads set for a couple of hours and they become these vibrant nice size beads.

I cut the silk flowers really short so they can fit in the vase and look nice when bunched together. So I just added flowers until the vase is filled out.

I filled be vase with the water beads before adding the flowers.

I cut the silk flowers really short so they can fit in the vase and look nice when bunched together. Then I just added flowers until the vase is filled out. You can add berry stems for a more fall look (which I will probably do).

Very easy and inexpensive project for home decor. For a more spring/summer look you can change the beads and flowers to a more warm weather color.
I picked up all the items at walmart.
