What are you loving this week?

High Five for Friday!

Hallelujah it's Friday once again!  Aren't you glad that Fridays come once a week?  Wouldn't that be awful if they only came once a month or something absurd?  Well let's just be thankful that's not the case and we get to have a lovely Friday every week.  And now, on to the top 5 from the week.

I'm linking up to Lauren at From My Grey Desk once again for her High Five for Friday post!

Here are my favorite things from this week:

1) My new memory foam pillow from Costco

2) Reading the 4th Harry Potter book every night before bed.

3) Finally making labels for my glass containers

4) Homemade popcorn courtesy of my hubby

5) Being brave and making this Green Monster smoothie this morning after my run.  Its surprisingly good - very strong peanut butter taste to me.

Hope you all have a happy Friday and a wonderful Superbowl weekend!  Are you rooting for a specific team?  Or are you rooting for the commercials like me?  :)  

High Five for Friday!

Hello lovely people!  TGIF!!!  I love Fridays.  And today is no exception.  I am looking forward to sleeping in, having a productive craft day on Saturday, hanging out with my hubby and my puppies, seeing my parents, and just some basic relaxation.  This weekend I plan to work on another casserole holder for my mom.  It was part of Christmas present....just now getting to it.  Whoops!  Sorry mom :)  I posted pictures of a previous one I made here (scroll down to see it), but this time I promise to take pictures along the way and post a little tutorial.  And side note: I'm super excited to try out my new sewing machine!  How terrible is it of me to have gotten such a wonderful gift, and still not used it yet!?  That will soon change my friends.

But enough about all that, it's time for High Five for Friday! I'm linking up to Lauren again over at From My Grey Desk.  Here are my 5 favorite things from the last week (in no particular order)

1) Getting to babysit this little cutie patootie over the weekend!  

Check out his Mom's blog here.

2) Getting (semi) random flowers from my parents!

This is me trying to be artsy 

3) Our new media cabinet for the loft upstairs

4) Accomplishing my goal of running 5 days out this week :-)

5) Um...baked donuts?!?! YES Please!!!

High Five for Friday!

Friday is upon us once again.  My consciousness as to what day of the week it is was completely thrown off this week.  Monday was a holiday (MLK day) and so I knew in my head that this week should feel a lot shorter than normal.  So then when I went back to work on Tuesday, I felt that it should already be Wednesday, because the week is supposed to be much shorter...right?  So, yesterday felt like my Friday, and today feels like a Saturday.  Maybe that's a good thing though because then my weekend will feel extra long!  Have I confused you yet?  Probably, so let's move on to the High Five for Friday!

I'm linking up with Lauren over at From My Grey Desk for this post.  Feel free to join in!

1. The rain!  It finally came!  I may be one of the oddballs out there, but I love the rain.  It's so peaceful to me and makes me feel all cuddly.  And we have been seriously lacking some rain this winter.

2. Borrowing my friend's Cricut machine so that I can make some super sweet labels!

3. Inspiring friends and other readers to start their own craft night through this blog.

4. Finally creating a space just for my crafts so that my crap crafting supplies are not spread all over the dinning room table.

5. www.design-seeds.com which is an amazing website that has hundreds of different color pallets to help when redecorating

High Five for Friday!

Well folks, it is Friday once again!  Time to link up to Lauren over at From My Grey Desk for her High Five for Friday link party.  It’s a great way to look back at your favorite things from the week.   Let’s get started:

1. My up-cycled bulletin board.  It adds so much color to my drab cube.

2.    2.   My fancy new nail polish that I originally got for New Years but haven’t worn till now.  It’s by Sally Hansen.

Sorry for the crappy phone picture

3.    3. These two…the cutest faces ever.  It’s so nice to have them to come home to especially when I’m home by myself and hubby is traveling for work.

 4.  My new phone cover!

 

5.  Getting to start the 3^rd Harry Potter book finally.

So addicted 

Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday!!

Friday High Fives

Happy Friday!!!  I love Fridays.  It's casual day at work, the weekend is just hours away, and everyone just overall always seems to be in  a better mood.  So once again, being inspired by Lauren over at From My Grey Desk I thought I would do another High Five Friday post to list my top 5 favorite things from this week.

1. Being home again after a long vacation.  I love visiting family and in laws and taking a break from work and all that, but it sure is nice to be back in my normal routine, and to see my furbabies again!

2. My new phone!  My old work phone was not holding a charge anymore, in fact, sometimes when I plugged it in, the charge went down! What the...?!  So I ordered a new work phone and got it this week.  The super cool and sleek Motorola Droid 3!


3. Sticking to my New Years resolutions.  So far (week 1) I have been good about my resolutions.  We went out for a couple drinks last night with some of hubby's friends from work, and I had water :)  I know it sounds boring and lame, but I was so proud of myself for not having any of the fried appetizers that looked so yummy.

4. This media center from Ikea

I love that you could fill it with cute baskets and books and all sorts of things.  So functional and stylish.

5. This sparkly cell phone case

What do you think?  Too much??

Friday High Fives

I thought I would take a moment to list out my top 5 favorite things from this week.  I got the idea from some blogs that I follow The Small Things Blog and From My Grey Desk (they are sisters and I love their blogs!)  And in the spirit of the trend I thought I would join in!

1. Walking my puppies at night after work and looking at all of the fun holiday light displays around the neighbor hood.  Some people are so creative!  It really gets me in the holiday mood.

2. Having Craft night with some awesome girlfriends and learning how to knit!

3. My beautiful new shoes for New Years that showed up on my doorstep this week

4. Holiday potlucks and holiday parties at work!  It's like holiday party time at school where people really only show up for the food and festivities, even though we're supposed to be working ;)

5. And last but CERTAINLY not least...my hubby finally coming home after being on travel for work!  I missed him so much!!
