wowza!

I know, it's a miracle; two posts in two days!! Yippee! Well, I just HAD to post because I finally got around to spending my Joanne's gift card today! I got a couple pillows for my new pillowcases that my mom got for me and a book of scrapbook papers with a peacock theme. I know, obsessed! I bought two pillows that were too small, but then I figured out that one of my pillows I already had fit into the case, so I stuffed the two I bought into the other case and they turned out perfect! As always, "pics or it didnt happen!"

Yup, love it. There are two, but I would assume you get the jist of it with the one since they are identical and all....haha. And since I happened to notice online that scrapbooking supplies were 50% off at Joannes I just had to go and buy this scrapbook paper set that I had seen when I went there last month. It's called royal garden, but it is mostly teal blues, golds, and peacock feathers with a couple pages of "edges" and photo frames that I'm hoping to use in the future! I had bought a frame at Bed, Bath and Beyond with another gift card I recieved :), and decided to make this!



I'm not sure where I'm going to put it yet, since I havent made room for my bookshelf yet, and the bookshelf will go in one of the spots and this picture is going to go in the other, just haven't figured out which one will go where yet! Phew, that was a mouthful. Haha, I just realized I type exactly how I talk...fast and a bunch of sentences mooshed together into one. I guess that's cool?

So onto other news, I decided to make dinner last night. I've been trying to be better about helping out in the kitchen, and making more meals instead of just eating out when Drew is too tired to cook. I have another mission of making a delicious meal tonight as well, but I haven't decided what to make...cashew chicken...or turkey lasagna...or maybe even stir fry? I haven't gone shopping yet, so I might just wait for Drew to get home this time and make him help me with what we already have in the house, haha. Last night I made shrimp fried rice and mm MM that was DELISH! I had no clue what I was doing and I just followed this simple recipe online and it turned out better than some restaurants I've been to.

Well, I didn't quite touch on everything I had said I was going to, but I just had give a little update since today was so successful! Off to folding the laundry and finishing up the dishes.. man I feel like a woman!

OMG!!! I totally didn't mean to pull a Shania there, hahahaha wow.

Alright...until next time bloggers.
