Strawberry Picking

My boyfriend, Andrew, and I were heading up to the lake in Hendersonville today and stopped at Sandy Flats Farm to go strawberry picking! It only cost $7.50 for a gallon of strawberries...not to mention they taste A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I can't believe they are even healthy for you because they are so sweet?

The only problem is we couldn't eat them fast enough before they went bad soo I made strawbery pie! It was delicious!

a boot or sandal?

Hello Ladies!
Ever have problems deciding which shoe to wear? That's why getting ready with your girlfriends always makes it more fun so you can get their opinions & take a vote on who likes which better...I am constantly asking my roommates what they think about each outfit I put on to see another person's perspective. I personally like the sandals over the boots with the outfit above, unless I am going to a "Country" shin-dig :)
What's your vote?
sandal or boot?

"Whine" Glasses

two years ago, i made all my girl friends wine glasses for christmas. i visited my family in alabama this past weekend & my mom asked me to make her a few glasses because they would be perfect for two of her friends. i never took pictures of the other ones i made, so i wanted to share these with you. they are easy to make & are perfect for personalization!


you can change the style of dress, colors, patterns, & saying!
cute ideas would be a flower, zebra or leopard print dress


[i hadn't cleaned my finger prints off the glass yet!]
change the saying to relate to the person you are making it for. if the person likes to whine a lot, use my saying. other ideas are:
gameday diva (decorate glass in your favorite team's colors)
put on your big girl panties
it's 5 o'clock somewhere
party, party, party...let's all get wasted
tip me over and pour me out
