That Quilt Project

Matt Bought a Tractor

Brent Got Married
This weekend was my cousin Brent’s wedding. I’m really happy for him, and his new wife Kelly. The only thing I didn’t like about the wedding, was the drive. Now, don’t get me wrong, I really didn’t mind going up to Greenfield for the wedding, but I do wish someone would invent teleportation already so…

Fashion Friday – Shades of Grey
This week’s look is what happens when the weather starts to change. There’s nothing like a pair of Uggs with a short skirt. Ok, the skirt isn’t that short, but it’s definitely not long. Top by Byers Wear, skirt by Catch My I. See more items from my closet on Pinterest. Lawrence Walter Pharmacy overnight…
