Happy {Memorial Day} Weekend.

My completely above average boss has given us both Friday and Monday off for the Memorial Day weekend, so I’m cutting out early this week. I can’t wait to soak up some rays, work on a few projects around the house and spend plenty of time with friends celebrating the unofficial start of summer. What do you have in store?

+ The perfect desktop wallpaper for all your bike lovers out there

+ A pretty yellow sunshine floral card to brighten your day in the free sort of way

+ A bevy of succulents make for a gorgeous wedding

+ No watermelon is complete with vodka

+ I’m holding out until June 1st to turn on my AC, so the less I have to turn on the oven, the better – enter gazpacho

+ Someone has finally heard our pleas for a recipe card generator!

Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Weekend!

Happy {Mother’s Day} Weekend.

{Jenny Lewis by Autumn de Wilde}

I’m skipping out a little early this week to fly home to Pennsylvania for a family wedding. It’s rare that I get to go back any other time during the year other than Christmas, so I’m really looking forward to it family drama excluded. I’m especially happy about getting to spend Mother’s Day with my 85 year old grandma! My mom will be in town for the knot-tying as well, so it’s going to be a good trip. I’ll see you back here Tuesday morning!

+ I can’t wait to try my hand at Megan’s felt dahlia flower brooches – I just hope I can manage with only two hands!

+ Forgot to pick up a Mother’s Day card? No sweat, download this free silhouette card from Two Brunettes

+ More May wallpaper to mix things up on your desktop: 1, 2, 3

Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Weekend!

PS: Don’t forget, if you haven’t entered the CSN giveaway yet you have until Tuesday at 9am!
