Hey guys! So...I was debating whether or not to post another DIY, but this one was really fun to do and it's a little easier and more practical.  So here it is...a DIY nail polish caddy! :)

(Supplies:)

glue stick

paper

scissors 

hot glue gun (tacky glue would would fine as well)

small tray

hole puncher 

ribbon and/or fabric 

Mason jar, or other type of container/jar

(It took me about an hour and a half to make this.)

So, first i started out by painting a swatch of nail polish on the paper, and once it dried, i hole punched the colors out, and glued them to the top of each bottle.  That way, once you put them into the tray, you can see what color is which without picking each one out.  

The tray i got is from Home goods and it was only 7$.  Its from the bathroom section and it is glass so it holds the nail polish really nicely. 

So next, you're going to get your jar, and you can either leave it plain or decorate it.  I got the ribbon, and just hot glued it around the jar, and then added a bow.  You can also get some fabric and cover the lid.

Then you can fill the jar with cotton balls, or Q-tips, and you can also stick your nail polish remover on the tray so it's all there for you to use.

I hope you've enjoyed this DIY tutorial!

Quick Update

Hey guys! This summer has gotten away from me way too quickly, and now I'm starting school again.  I wanted to do a quick update and share some highlights from my summer! :)

• I went to a week-long piano camp, and enjoyed all the extra help from the wonderful teachers that taught us all!  It was super fun, and I definitely want to do it again next year! :) 
   
                                                         (Sorry for the bad lighting.)

My two Aunts visited us for a week and it was so much fun! Their visit included midnight pool parties, hot fudge sundaes and plenty of girly movies :)  

In July, our church had it's annual growth retreat.   We had a really good speaker, and it was a fun time to fellowship and worship. One night i got to play piano with the worship team and that was a blast! :)  (To read about last year's growth retreat click here. )

Our speaker, Eric. and me .......^^^

In the beginning of August, we went to NC to give my sister a bridal shower! :) It was one of the biggest highlights of my summer!! The theme was sort of Italy, so there was yummy pastries and bread and cheese and gelato! (<--Did i spell that right?)

'Love' in Italian <3

The table/centerpieces

Some of the yummy food....

And lastly, I've had a few piano competitions/performances the past couple weeks.

All ready! :)

Well, that was pretty much my summer.  School started about a month ago for us.  How has your summer been?

~~Rebecca~~

Hey guys! I apologize for it being way too long since i last posted! Back in early May, we went on a trip to NC for my sister's graduation! It was so much fun! We got to visit lots of family and friends, not to mention celebrate lots of special events!

Me and my sister Mollie

 We were there for a little over a week, but it felt like we were there for two days! One of the days we were there, i got to see my bestest friend, Greta! <3 It was over a year since we last saw each other and we had so much to catch up on.

Can you tell we had fun!? :) Those were some of the highlights of out trip, but on another note, our family got a new puppy two weeks ago...his name is Moray :)

A week after we got back from NC, me and my sister went on our church's camp trip.  It was soo much fun!! For worship, the band Rush of Fools played for us and they were really awesome.  We were on a mountain so it was a gorgeous view the whole week!

Random Stuff

Hey Ya'll! Oh my goodness...i have not posted in so long! I really don't have any excuses besides that i just didn't feel like blogging. bahaha :) Anyway, a few weeks ago me, my mom and sister drove to New Jersey to visit all of our family there.  It was really fun, and the week went by wayyyyyy too fast. There was one other reason we drove up there.....we surprised my older sister Emily with a bridal shower! :) It was so. much. fun!!  She didn't even know that we were driving up there, she just thought she was going up for her spring break.  Enjoy the pictures! :)

The lovely venue :)

On the way home from New Jersey, we stopped in Nashville and went to the Parthenon.

The goddess Athena. It was so huge!

Birthday Weekend Stuff

Hello friends! Sooo....it (again) has been soooooooo long since I last posted. However, I knew when this weekend was approaching, that I would have much to blog about. 

Well, first of all.  We kicked off the weekend by staying up Friday night, to watch the Psych Slumber Party, and that was sooooooooooooooo much fun! Although, I did fall asleep about two hours into it...(haha)...it was still awesome!!

On Saturday, we slept in a little, and then in the afternoon we went bowling...yes...i bowled a score of 23 :( hahah!

On Saturday night, we were supposed to have a surprise birthday party for my sister Hannah, but the cat got out of the bag a little early.  Even know she knew about the party, she didn't know who was coming, or what games we were playing :) We had a BLAST!! For the games, we played our own version of minute to win it, and it was hilarious! :)

There were a few SO  many pictures from her party, so i'm only gonna post some of them. Like i said above, we played 'minute to win it' games.  We drew out a score board on our wipe-away board and everyone was assigned a colored team. The games were soooooooooo funny to watch (and play)!!!
Enjoy the pics!! :)

The food table

Let the games begin!

The talented throwers

Trying to dodge the ping pong balls

The point of this ^^^ game was to pull strings over your ears, which would raise a 'candy elevator' and you had to bring the candy up to your mouth

 

 

 

 

It was quite entertaining...ahah :)

Well, that was our awesomely fun, but busy birthday weekend!!

P.S. - If you want to see the exact way to play each game go to http://www.nbc.com/minute-to-win-it/how-to/

Hit's Deep Concert!

Last week we went to the TobyMac Hit's Deep Concert, and let me just say, that that was the BEST concert I have ever been to! We heard, TobyMac, Mandisa, Brandon Heath, Britt Nicole, Chris August, Jamie Grace, and Group 1 Crew! It was so amazing to hear all of them perform, and what was ever cooler, was that during the intermission, we got to meet, Mandisa, and Brandon Heath!

It was so funny, when I came up to Mandisa, she said "Well, now aren't you adorable."

Another bonus, was that we also got to meet Klove's JD Chandler!

Mountain Trip: Day 4 & 5!

Hey Friends! I hope your doin' good! Today is my last post on our mountain vacation! On day 4 (Saturday) we went to a Christmas tree farm, and got a tree, before Emily and Mollie had to leave.  The farm we went to was really nice, and it didn't take us too long, before we found one we liked :)

We found a winner!

After we found a tree, we headed back to the hotel, but on the way home, we stopped at the hollow tree!

 

When we got to the inn, sadly, we had to say goodbye to Emily and Mollie :(  But we did have the nice thought of meeting our good friend's, the Woodlief's for dinner!

The outfit thing, was totally unplanned :)

We went to this great BBQ place for dinner, but before too long it was time to say goodbye to them too :( 

The next day (day 5)  we left to go home, but on the way home, we stopped in to see our wonderful friends, the Davis' and it was SO fun! We played games (they taught me how to play Uno, which, believe it or not, I have never played before) and Mrs. Davis mad a really good lunch for us all!  After a few hours of fun fellowship, we decided we'd better get going because we still had 5 more hours of driving to do.  But before we left, we had to get a picture :)

The kids

The adults

 Well, that was such a wonderful trip, and I hope you enjoyed reading about it!
