Wedding time!

Happy wedding to Daniel and Wendy!! I had a blast celebrating this couple last weekend in northeast Arkansas! 

We started the weekend by having a bridal luncheon at Paulette's in Memphis and it was delish! Followed by Christmas shopping with Erin :) and a fabulous rehearsal & dinner. The girls spent the whole day Saturday getting ready together-- Erin and I have decided we could easily open up a hair salon. I curl, she pins :) 

The wedding was gorgeous and there was so much love around the new couple! I'm sad all the festivities are over-- the last couple months have been so fun! 

Time to get ready... w/ the bride! 

I caught the bouquet! What does that mean again?!

Brian & Me

The weekend before the wedding-- the girls went to Arkansas' Wine Country, Altus, to celebrate Wendy's bachelorette party! More pics :)

hey, hello!!

SOOO, I've been MIA in the blog world for quite awhile now. LOTS has happened since July and I'll be sure to catch you up... that way I can get back to blogging like usual. Because I'm sure you are all (I say that like I have a following) dying to know what I've been working on :) 

In July I got a promotion at work, (!!!) I'm now the Assistant Director! It's been so busy but so great and I really enjoy it. August I took my first vacation in over a month, September was pretty laid back and in October- Brian and I have done some statewide traveling. I'll give you a recap via pictures... :) 

Wendy said YES to the dress!! 

Hayden turned ONE!!!! 

Hayden and her aunties :) 

Rachel got married...

...and we celebrated in Nashville. 

Seth & Heather got married.. and Brian caught the garter/football. YES, you are reading right, it says "You're next!"

In August we vacationed in Florida with the Johnston's...

...and played mini golf....

..and ate fabulous seafood. 

In September the Hale's came to town

And Tontitown pumpkins were delivered to my door... ah, fall!! 

This cute pup and his owner left for greener pastures... 

And then I didn't take pictures for the whole month of October... but we had a lot of fun! Brian and I spent a weekend in El Dorado and went to Musicfest-- we listened to Justin Moore and ate good food! We spent the next weekend in Fayetteville in the pumpkin patch helping Grandma and Nonno out. We sat through the rain to watch Texas A&M kick our tails. But we had a good time with friends and family. We spent the rest of our weekends watching football with Erin, Jared and the dogs-- which is always a good time. Then this past weekend the Johnston's came to town...

And we took this picture at the family reunion. 

So, now that you are caught up with my life.. I will be sure to start posting more often and I've got to show you my new craft projects that I've been working on :) YAY. Check back soon!

Adorable NEW baby canvas!

I'm in love with my latest project! Brian's good friends from law school just had their first child and Melissa hired me to create a canvas for the new nursery. I'm so glad she thought of me for this project and it was so fun making something for their precious little girl! Hope you love it!

And it's available on ETSY--> HERE.

Jewelry Hangers

Really excited to share with y'all the new jewelry hangers I made! I love, love, LOVE them! They were a Mother's Day present to my sweet co-worker, Shana from her very kind husband and triplets (!!!)

These next few pics are ones I took before I handed them over, so I staged the jewels on them at my house to snap a few pics.

The next necklace hanger is actually a second one I made for my bedroom- totally ran out of room for all my fabulous necklaces :) 

And here is the finished product from Shana- she sent me this pic after Jeff hung everything... and it looks FABU!!!! 

Want a necklace hanger? Earring hanger? Anything, let me know and I can make you one :) xoxo

Amazing Headboard

Hello!! Again, it's been a while since I blogged. Seems like I'm blogging less these days.. but I am still working on projects. I'll probably need to play catch up for a little while. 

I've been DYING to make a headboard since I've been on pinterest. I originally wanted to make an upholstered headboard but I already have a bed and no spare room. So finally I took on Brian- as my unsuspecting recipient of my amazing creation. We talked plans a few times and finally decided against my dream of tufted upholstered linen headboard (Anyone want one, let's talk!!) 

I found these step by step plans on pinterest from Ana White's site. You can find it HERE. And now that I look back at the original bed I realize I missed a step (one board at the top) but I like my better :) 

I'm not even going to try to give step by step directions because she does a fab job but here are some pics. I didn't use everything they said I would- like I remember I didn't use screws. I didn't use clamps (which i NEED desperately before I tackle anything else!) Brian picked out a walnut stain that actually wasn't really a stain but more a paint stain... pretty easy to use but a tad sticky. 

In all, I'm totally happy with how the bed turned out and I love staring at it.. I know, don't judge me!! Very proud of this masterpiece :) 

Hope you love! If you wanna make one, give me a call and I'd be happy to help! It cost less than $100 dollars!! AND if you want to make an upholstered headboard, we for sure need to chat! 

xoxo, AH
