Frigid High 5 for Friday


My week in a nut shell sums up this weeks high five for Friday.
  1. My mom's sugar cookies. The recipe is so worn, but I swear they get better by the batch. It just doesn't seem like Christmas season without them.
  2. Bruno. Jay rescued Bruno when he was a pup and I'm so glad he did. There's nothing better than seeing your dog look for you when you pull up. I read somewhere a little boy defined loves as, "...when you dog licks your face and wants to play after you left him home alone all day." I couldn't agree more.
  3. Burlap. I've been making burlap banners as a hobby and to take my mind off of our infertility journey. While I have sold relatively few, the sense of fulfillment I get when someone buys one it unreal. I've always wanted to quit the 9-5 office world and start my own thing. I know the hours would be more, but it would really justify my purpose in the work world. I think it would help fill a sense of purpose in the void infertility has left in my heart. I do wish I had more support to do this; my husband believes in me though and that means the world.
  4. Not loving the cold weather here. However, seeing the forecast say "Frigid" did put a smile on my face. 
  5. Jay. He's my rock. Having the big IVF conversation is never easy, but he did it. He's always listened to what I say and then listens beyond what I say to hear what my heart says.

Etsy Banners


With all the drama of my infertility never-ending saga, I decided to put my time into something for me that makes me happy to try and occupy my mind.

I started an etsy shop.
There are digital prints and a few banners up there so far, but I had to share my banners because I just love them.
They fit my home perfect (and won't cost you too much).

Kid's Room Banner

Banner love. Banner happy. 

Call it what you will, but I have it.
After making my "Welcome" burlap banner, it dawned on me the number of banners you could make.
Weddings, parties, and bedrooms...oh my!

I tried to contain my self and make a banner that someone would use.
My sister just had a baby so I couldn't think of anyone more fitting for this project.

I apologize that the picture isn't the best, but here you go!
If you need directions refer to my Burlap Bunting tutorial for the details, but remember this is yours so make it your own.
Here's a bit better picture.
