loves on a thursday-gold leaf

Gold-leaf

one|two|three|four

Did you miss Loves on Thursday? I did. Weekly inspiration doses are wonderful for me, and they challenge me to seek out fresh ideas or fun things I want to incorporate into my life. This first Loves of 2013 is no exception! I have been seeing cute gold leaf DIYs sprinkled around the blogs for a while now, and I kept meaning to grab some to try, and I finally did! It is so fun to work with and has so much potential. I challange you to guess which one of those items up there is DVF and not DIY. Anyone can do it and it makes things just a little more special. I hope to share some fun projects here soon!

 

Are you a Pinner? Etsy Stalker? Blog Hopper? Photographer? Have cute kids? Loving life? Always looking for pretty things? I would love to see what your loving lately!

Be sure to follow your hosts (me through bloglovin and Lish through GFC) grab a button from my sidebar or use a text link back, and be sure to credit your sources! Hop around and see what everyone is loving and drink up the inspiration. Have fun!

If you are interested in co-hosting Loves on a Thursday email me for details!

    it’s time we had the talk
  • You should know, I am a ridiculously impulsive person. When Shawn and I were in our first year together and crazy in love I was all, ” let’s go somewhere like love birds!”  and it went something like this: me: Let’s go on a little road trip! Shawn: OK! Where should we go? me: I’m… [Continue Reading]

    the time I let mapquest make my decisions
  • Just wanted to share a quick post about something that has been on my mind lately. I am going to cut back a bit on the posts with my kids in them. I don’t want to overexpose them or risk their safety. On Hannah’s first day of 6th grade I had posted a photo and… [Continue Reading]

    just a change around here
  • So this is what my mom felt like when I wanted to wear her old bell bottoms?  Look how happy 1999 Colleen is about overalls getting all up in her instagram: That is a face of pure joy. What a nerd. See this people?? Stop it. Also, tan-nude-frost lip and nail combos can stay gone… [Continue Reading]

    I see your overalls and raise you overalls on a bridge. By the creek.
