Mama Made Wall Art!

So, there has been this huge empty space on Goose's wall that has been driving me NUTS! I could never decide what to put there. So, the other day I was at Hobby Lobby (for you East coasters...it's like Micheals..only, uhhh, cooler!) looking for stuff to make an anniversary gift for McDreamy and I came across these CUTE little wooden decorations! They were all $0.59 - $0.99 and 1/2 off. I went nuts!! Goose helped me pick out the ones he liked too. I also bought some colorful padded poster-like sheets as well. Add some super glue and decorative letters and this is what I came up with:

Here are the closeups:

I know, they look crooked..but I think that's just my shaky hands taking the pictures! Can you believe this project cost me under $20? I don't know any store where you can buy cute, educational artwork for kids for that price! YAY! My baby has totally brought my creative side back!

2 years!

To my dearest hubby,

You mean more to me than I could have ever imagined. You came into my life and gave me purpose. You believed in me where others failed to. You are my rock, my best friend, my soulmate. Thank you for always standing by my side, even when we don't agree. Thank you for making me crack up at the most random moments. Thank you for sharing your food with me even though I know you don't want to. Your food does taste better ya know..yes, even when we're eating the same thing! You are the best husband and father I could have ever dreamed of! I feel blessed every day that you are in my life. Here's to making this last forever...HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVARSARY!!!! I love you soooo much!!!!!

To many more...
