<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">One of my favorite recipes is skinny spinach lasagna. My family has always been big lasagna
eaters, but had never had spinach lasagna until I stumbled upon Gina's blog, <a href="http://skinnytaste.com/"><span style="color: #0022e4;">skinnytaste.com</span></a>.
Let me tell you, I was in heaven. I'm a pasta eater. I can eat anyone under the
table when it comes to pasta... and cheese. Let's not forget about how yummy
cheese is. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Today, I'm going to
give y'all a quick tutorial of sorts that will help guide you through Gina's
fabulous recipe. Did I mention she calculates calories, weight watchers points,
and a lot of other nutritional facts as well? She is like super woman! I wouldn't
even know where to begin when trying to calculate all that info. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Here is the actual recipe over
on <a href="http://skinnytaste.com/"><span style="color: #0022e4;">skinnytaste.com</span></a> for the <a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/02/spinach-lasagna-rolls.html"><span style="color: #0022e4;">spinach lasagna rolls</span></a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Here is my "I'm
starving and this is how I have memorized the recipe by heart": <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">First, boil the water
and cook 10 noodles (Gina's recipe calls for 9 noodles, but I'm weird and have
to do an even 10). While the noodles are cooking, I always put my frozen
spinach in a bowl in the microwave to cook for 5 minutes. </span><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

cooked spinach and drain off all excess liquid. Cooked spinach always looks
pretty nasty to me, but I love adding it to all my pasta dishes. My advice is
to not look to closely at it :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Combine the cooked spinach, 1/2 cup of parmesan, and 15 ounces of ricotta in a bowl and stir.
Add garlic salt and pepper to taste. Trey and I are like garlic saltaholics so
we add a very generous amount. Gina's recipe calls for an egg in this mixture,
but we never buy eggs because I don't eat them. Any form of cooked eggs that I
can see are still in the form of eggs gives me the heebie jeebies. Pop some
eggs in some cookie dough or a cake batter and I'll be right next to you with a
spoon in hand ready to taste. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Gina's recipe calls for an exact measurement, but lets be honest when
Trey and I are "starving" I challenge myself to make the lasagna in
under five minutes. Trey was getting a little antsy when I kept stopping the
process to take pictures so I knew I needed to book it. Do you think there is a
speed lasagna making contest that I could enter? First place is totally mine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

recipe. After spreading the mixture out on the noodle, roll up the noodle and
place it in the baking dish. Repeat 9 more times :) </span><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

pasta sauce on top, you are ready to shove that baby in the oven! (That did not
sound right.) Let me try again, gently place the baking dish in the oven after
preheating your oven to 375 degrees. I generally just wait until the sauce
around the lasagna rolls is boiling. Then it is ready to be served and
devoured.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for great left overs and for me to say that is rare. I usually hate left overs,
but not a drop of this lasagna goes to waste at my house. Anyone have a favorite recipe that has a healthy spin to it? Please share! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

honey :) What is it with guys being so inflexible? Am I the only one noticing
this? Do you make your significant others exercise with you? Any couples Yoga
or spinning lately? I've always wanted to take a spin class. Does anyone else love the stretched feeling you have after you do Yoga? I swear I'm taller after :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">As I am always on a budget, <s>college girl here</s> I try to use
things that I already have on hand. So when I spotted this idea on Pinterest, I
knew I had something that I could work with. I have always
loved very intricate baroque like frames and collect them every chance I get.
My favorite places to find them are flea markets, garage sales, estate sales,
and Hobby Lobby even carries a very affordable selection with all there 50% off
sales and 40% off coupons every week. Anyways, I went through my stash and I
found this round baroque-ish frame that had the perfect size of circle. Who
says you can't fit a square peg into a round hole?</span><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">(Was that a TWSS?)</span><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Once I added the frame, I started staring at my beautifully elegantly
simple thermostat and decided that now with the thermostat being all fancy, the
rest of the wall looked bare. Really bare. So I'm thinking of adding two other
baroque frames to take it to the next level. I'm hung up over the colors
though... I just love how the cream looks (major bonus that the frame was
already that color), but I'm not sure I want them all to be cream. I'll keep
y'all posted and feel free to throw any ideas my way! </span></div>

things to do when my family goes to the lake is to head into a town about 20

<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Another little find,
is this glass holder. It says AVON on the bottom, so I am guessing it was
something you could buy out of their catalogue at one time or another. I use it
to hold cotton swabs in and they fit perfectly! I always love to take ordinary
everyday household items and pretty them up a little. Its the little things
right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">These are some
drawers that my Mom and I kept spotting throughout the building. It was like a
drawer scavenger hunt. I know it is a little weird that my Mom and I bought
drawers that weren't a part of a dresser, but they are literally so beautiful
that we didn't even care. I kept mine au natural and my mom white washed hers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

What?It's that time of year again.... BACK to School!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm in college and still get excited for the first day of classes. Is that weird? No. I didn't think so. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As always I bought some new school supplies from Target! I'm the kind of girl that gets a little over zealous about school supplies like binders, planners, neon post-its, but then I forget the essentials like oh I don't know... paper!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The two binders are from Target, the planner is an Erin Condren planner, and I picked up these fun little Post-It notes at Walgreens!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes, I was the one in class writing notes in my planner/on printer paper the first couple days of class.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back to school is like New Years for me. I always make resolutions ranging from staying organized to purging my closet of worn out items in order to make room for comfy fall fashions. Can I tell y'all how much I love fall clothes? I love leggings with tunics and boots. It's like my favorite outfit combo of all time! I'm also obsessed with scarves so it's pretty rare to see me <strike>awake</strike> out of the house without one on. I've been eyeing these pieces from Old Navy, Target, and Forever21.<br />

FYI this is not a sponsored post. I'm just dreaming about my Fallalala wardrobe all up on this blogeezy! <strike>Did I just combine a Christmas carol and gangsta? </strike> Sorry about that.<strike> Not guaranteed</strike> it won't happen again :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the style front, I'm all about buying basics and then layering with jewelry, scarves, and outerwear. Sometimes I like to challenge myself to see how many outfits I can make out of just a couple of basics. Fall clothing is great when it comes to getting a lot out of a couple of items. On a side note I did just purchase the BP boots and I'm super psyched because they get in tomorrow! I'll let y'all know what I think! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Today I made peach ice cubes. So refreshing! There is a great recipe on Miss Paula Deen's website <a href="http://www.pauladeen.com/recipes/recipe_view/peach_ice_cubes/" target="_blank">here</a>. While Miss Deen is a fabulous cook, I skipped the sugar and lemon and let the peaches do all the work. I simply mashed up two peaches and put them in the ice cube tray, then let them freeze for a couple hours. Two peaches made about ten ice cubes. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There were ups and downs to these peach ice cubes....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I loved how they smelled and they gave my iced tea a little citrus-y tanginess that was pretty yummy. It also didn't hurt that they were too cute!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The down side is that after a while your iced tea gets all pulpy. Not my fav thing! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All in all they were super cute and refreshing you just have to drink, drink, drink before your iced tea turns into a pulpy mess! If anyone knows any tips to not end up with pulpy drinks shout them out!!</span></div>Haley {A Dash of Kennedy}http://www.blogger.com/profile/08394334090232532326noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157909083503599114.post-85615854620465511902012-06-26T20:59:00.000-07:002012-06-26T20:59:28.583-07:00Girls Weekend<div style="text-align: center;">

</div><div style="text-align: center;">French manicures are my all time favorite but I do occasionally shake things up a bit like when I went all out for <a href="http://adashofkennedy.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentine-day-manicure.html">Valentines day</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lets talk coffee tables! <a href="http://www.racheldenbow.blogspot.com/2011/02/house-tour-1-with-brooke-biette.html">Here</a> is my inspiration...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs3t_6pMpTGOhrZVQcITkjcGp46zj7rnFNahnyzNM0tbbr4YccT4r6q5yOm3Pg_x8ZV4aPPy_83g5vXoQw7DYOKFmYhn3r-WDJP9vbNVcHy1Srbc_JIliJXSe0JuLSCdYxZT1I4ClYphM/s1600/livingroom2_rect540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs3t_6pMpTGOhrZVQcITkjcGp46zj7rnFNahnyzNM0tbbr4YccT4r6q5yOm3Pg_x8ZV4aPPy_83g5vXoQw7DYOKFmYhn3r-WDJP9vbNVcHy1Srbc_JIliJXSe0JuLSCdYxZT1I4ClYphM/s400/livingroom2_rect540.jpg" width="275" /></a></div><br />
I love that this coffee table has storage! Also the legs are super cute!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
A little background info for ya'll:<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Trey and I are in college so naturally we have a lot of mismatched hammy down furniture. We had one coffee table in the living room that had a light wood top with green chunky straight legs that wasn't really my style, but very sturdy. Another coffee table was in the garage that was actually almost on its way to the trash because in the process of getting it home from my sister's the bolts to the legs had been misplaced. It had an iron base with swirly scrolls and curvy legs, but had a weird plastic faux marble top that was just too dark for the living room. But, in the effort to use what we have and stay on our low low budget, I decided by attaching the wooden top and the iron base of the other coffee table and together they would form a new fabulous coffee table. Made easy on the eye with spray paint of course!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So Trey and I got to work! I disassembled both coffee tables and then reattached the wooden top to the iron base. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sorry for the grainy phone pic but this is my only before shot... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHa616gqN83gFVqJxBF3IUDmHy_PpEMk4M-g8JQvw1RHTjHc2BgptcEF4otMXVGVgjNPqLThWYhA1jjq3PyOxMY3_mOE9df7X4acIjRgS-rTYcBo28ZHRxhGCjXB3nIAzgxePfAaDy9wU/s1600/photo-4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHa616gqN83gFVqJxBF3IUDmHy_PpEMk4M-g8JQvw1RHTjHc2BgptcEF4otMXVGVgjNPqLThWYhA1jjq3PyOxMY3_mOE9df7X4acIjRgS-rTYcBo28ZHRxhGCjXB3nIAzgxePfAaDy9wU/s400/photo-4.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After that we used a power sander and lightly sanded the top of the table to rough it up a bit. Next step was to wipe it down and the spray prime it with Zinsser spray primer. After several light coats we attacked it with red spray paint!!! The color is Banner Red by Krylon. It took ten million coats even though we primed and was an all weekend project, but in the end it was totally worth it. Dontcha think?<br />

Pssst! Pinterest does not sponsor this blog in any way shape or form. You know besides taking up all my spare time and giving me a vast amount of inspiration! </div>Haley {A Dash of Kennedy}http://www.blogger.com/profile/08394334090232532326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157909083503599114.post-82639713392616463472012-03-20T12:37:00.000-07:002012-03-20T12:37:21.988-07:00Hey Now... Just Relax!Don't we all need a reminder ever once in a while to just relax?<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>My second project for the Pinterest Challenge Winter Edition was to make a banner that is a daily reminder to slow down and just relax. My inspiration for this project is the same shop as the chalkboard labels. I highly recommend <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BluePearls?ref=ss_profile">Blue Pearls</a>, they make beautifully rustic yet super elegant decor. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I wanted to challenge myself even more by not spending a dime on this project. So the first thing I did was look at all the crafting stuff/paint I had and assemble a cohesive group of materials. I gathered some burlap, red ribbon, and mixed two paints together to get a bluey green tealish color. </div><div><br />
</div><div>There aren't any during/process pictures! Shame on me!!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Heres the run down though:</div><div><br />
</div><div>First I cut out a template, then traced five shapes and cut each shape out. (Burlap is tricky tricky business to cut, but just go slow). After everything was cut out I put a piece of paper under each burlap shape and went to work free handing the letters. This is a tricky part also because my R is a teensy bit smaller than my ELAX. But in the world of DIY/crafting nothing is perfect so I just rolled with it. After every letter is dry, string the ribbon through the burlap, but be careful not to make the hole too close to the edge or the burlap will fall apart. I chose not to make holes with a hole punch, I just simply moved the burlap fibers until there was an opening big enough to string the ribbon through. Also, I didn't secure each letter with a knot in the ribbon because they seemed to be staying fine and I wanted to be flexible with the placement later.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Here are some close ups...<br />

Pinterest. You can buy the originals <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/92970072/rustic-ornate-chalk-tags-reusable?ref=sr_gallery_19&amp;sref=&amp;ga_search_submit=&amp;ga_search_query=chalkboard+tags&amp;ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_ship_to=US&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_page=3&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_facet=handmade">here.</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I found some packages of chip board recipe cards in the dollar bins at Michael's that were perfect. I highly recommend that you start looking there first if you want to duplicate this project or really anything! The originals are a lot more detailed with brads and perfectly distressed edges. Truly beautiful! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I needed a quick fix so I decided to whip up my own version.</div><br />
Step 1: Make a template. I used this shape. Yes, that is a paper towel! haha<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfAxTsVG2YdI-u9aGjLzb3H7TQkkpch2IGs_wU75OF9ZgnUpOgZbPRPObHXqoFbO3gu737UnC-mn3qfjpP-Y8kLbg7pjMyhtkrYuXDrfphgne0mWFxOtqKUQJJpFTsfktLT21AhfA14KM/s1600/IMG_0666.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfAxTsVG2YdI-u9aGjLzb3H7TQkkpch2IGs_wU75OF9ZgnUpOgZbPRPObHXqoFbO3gu737UnC-mn3qfjpP-Y8kLbg7pjMyhtkrYuXDrfphgne0mWFxOtqKUQJJpFTsfktLT21AhfA14KM/s400/IMG_0666.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Step 2: Trace all the templates on to the chip board.<br />
Step 3: Cute the shapes out.<br />
Step 4: Tape off a square using painter's tape, but be careful to only press down on the inside of the square because if the tape touches the edge of the chip board then it rips the layers apart.<br />
Step 5: Spray paint 3-4 light layers or until solid black. (on some of these the paint bled through)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcBdbVAq-UvNJGSrJECe9nh25GCNl240rTZDDbhLTAVPBk-7SopYFovId3-nHKmiJraIXZzxSgIKKInlzlzaLxoyaWqPndcgk0nLRjXN-h62b0TFqAZja5G_FJ_CGwcMU3oW5iXmZGAkk/s1600/IMG_0670.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcBdbVAq-UvNJGSrJECe9nh25GCNl240rTZDDbhLTAVPBk-7SopYFovId3-nHKmiJraIXZzxSgIKKInlzlzaLxoyaWqPndcgk0nLRjXN-h62b0TFqAZja5G_FJ_CGwcMU3oW5iXmZGAkk/s400/IMG_0670.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Step 6: Let dry then rub chalk all over the chalkboard paint to condition.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWZrBV9GzDNVH3nkq1aOJbfTtQ6UtUhqoyUor0lXEHYAYT94CIF_8scoF6AhbxGOeoJXARTG_xf5Qtq6edU8RbtjQIiaxKcG-N4cmHlEC4V0I1FgXiQKkDT_OrmWBOtMxF6TclnqozC4/s1600/IMG_0671.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWZrBV9GzDNVH3nkq1aOJbfTtQ6UtUhqoyUor0lXEHYAYT94CIF_8scoF6AhbxGOeoJXARTG_xf5Qtq6edU8RbtjQIiaxKcG-N4cmHlEC4V0I1FgXiQKkDT_OrmWBOtMxF6TclnqozC4/s400/IMG_0671.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Step 7. Wipe clean (I wouldn't use a wet cloth, I just used a foam brush) and scribble away!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMQHAqeEb-6cjPDwOy6VYriOld6QTKbUqt5aEnKdXWDh-fDy9jph5VJ9VNEgAq3UqEMDW1XkZmtDnmIt7ypkZzfaihVxrYOBWG-snSj-4SvWYpW7UW7CYoE4ko1nM3cHhpWcs8NqfhpUw/s1600/IMG_0673.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMQHAqeEb-6cjPDwOy6VYriOld6QTKbUqt5aEnKdXWDh-fDy9jph5VJ9VNEgAq3UqEMDW1XkZmtDnmIt7ypkZzfaihVxrYOBWG-snSj-4SvWYpW7UW7CYoE4ko1nM3cHhpWcs8NqfhpUw/s400/IMG_0673.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgseC8dxRIg_xBjKxqympK-ILOIGtLB3fCo4aD3atq1IIwJAvJTQSIwNYv0H9LsX8Hpnp5SQ2aq9AF5Ne7Qp3XRNa_X-f8hPNZsymaXMBs3_25GNEA7Wz6ZT1N6LZu833wKQ1GQAgFoXsA/s1600/IMG_0678.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgseC8dxRIg_xBjKxqympK-ILOIGtLB3fCo4aD3atq1IIwJAvJTQSIwNYv0H9LsX8Hpnp5SQ2aq9AF5Ne7Qp3XRNa_X-f8hPNZsymaXMBs3_25GNEA7Wz6ZT1N6LZu833wKQ1GQAgFoXsA/s400/IMG_0678.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Aren't they so cute? What makes these chalkboard labels truly amazing is the fact that it only cost me three dollars to make twelve of them! I have to clarify that I used painters tape and some chalkboard spray paint that I already had (Michael's dollar bin chip board recipe cards = 3 dollars). I am going to use them to label the baskets that are above the cabinets in my kitchen. When I finally get that situation under control (I still need to add three more baskets) I'll post some after pics for ya'll! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It ended up looking mismatched in all the wrong ways and never felt finished to me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiclutW02KFNFjxoQ4byj80513LvFw9aOP07qx8sz5hF3qMkRrZ2Kv15eya_X7pCXgsme-OaRtk_4gNmc3vZHR85WpWChb8Bvx-vKjheLjh1TizlHgE-QnZKDWpHkLWvoDhMcCMwUN0sls/s1600/IMG_0340_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiclutW02KFNFjxoQ4byj80513LvFw9aOP07qx8sz5hF3qMkRrZ2Kv15eya_X7pCXgsme-OaRtk_4gNmc3vZHR85WpWChb8Bvx-vKjheLjh1TizlHgE-QnZKDWpHkLWvoDhMcCMwUN0sls/s400/IMG_0340_1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
So one night I was so sick of looking at it that I took most of the frames off the wall before I even had a plan. I was a girl on a mission! First stop.. find inspiration!<br />
<br />
So I came across two different sources...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ0Tc7Qq4PMsFBM06I3ESqPwQWn-Ak168t23lsVXUiP-DgLZ4t0UEhBP0tD8pXh6TGA7xvS0G-zMBQE5zXCALGpxbs-zBP7zFT8wdOgWKMj80N2fqYy3IdeE8KjzHJqg8ZQVzQqvmd0Go/s1600/5058170743_9c753843c5_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ0Tc7Qq4PMsFBM06I3ESqPwQWn-Ak168t23lsVXUiP-DgLZ4t0UEhBP0tD8pXh6TGA7xvS0G-zMBQE5zXCALGpxbs-zBP7zFT8wdOgWKMj80N2fqYy3IdeE8KjzHJqg8ZQVzQqvmd0Go/s400/5058170743_9c753843c5_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>This first picture is from <a href="http://aurajoon.blogspot.com/2010/10/nesting-around-house-and-finally-having.html" target="_blank">here</a> and I came across it awhile back but just love how it anchors the wall. Also what a great way to showcase some items you love!<br />
<br />
Now my second source of inspiration is a little weird for a living room because its obviously a kitchen...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOB0-aJl_TzwBsVilB0uHc1sWSzqZcv2dGCgbuwXzQVfS6jWRxIZak1VxJVyCyQgeEKPAxx147PT2mTHJeDEa_-cTAdLJBiZ68p9wXRHwY8dhXdSxJiIdrLHAltfGriVettQPN97wMGOM/s1600/fwer-brackets1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOB0-aJl_TzwBsVilB0uHc1sWSzqZcv2dGCgbuwXzQVfS6jWRxIZak1VxJVyCyQgeEKPAxx147PT2mTHJeDEa_-cTAdLJBiZ68p9wXRHwY8dhXdSxJiIdrLHAltfGriVettQPN97wMGOM/s400/fwer-brackets1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This kitchen is from <a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2012/03/tweakity-tweak-twea/" target="_blank">Young House Love</a> which Sherry and John completely DIYed themselves! If you haven't been over to YHL to check it out seriously put it on the to do list! They are DIY heros! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Still both of these examples capture what I was looking for most.... the ability to display not only pictures, but cute trinkets and flowers too! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So off I went to Hobby Lobby to take another look at some shelves that I had been eyeing for about a zillion months! With a gift card in hand I walked out of Hobby Lobby with a huge smile on my face and four new tin shelves!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now the dilemma was how to hang them so that they made sense. I already had picked out the wall behind the couch because it looked like one massive stripe of couch and one blaring blank white wall. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My jumping off point was to hang a mirror directly in the center of the wall. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSXjJGm9uOGIg98mQtx4WgGgMnuL-PTcAwWYgkuyigLAulrJW6e1MeRwnZXNjGObMvnqM9GWBe_OvMjifjuUk-Cl82q4J7HUP6EymBKVlDNiuRBoFokV6GKE_V-lj5jOfvMCjqlrGt_B4/s1600/IMG_0415.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSXjJGm9uOGIg98mQtx4WgGgMnuL-PTcAwWYgkuyigLAulrJW6e1MeRwnZXNjGObMvnqM9GWBe_OvMjifjuUk-Cl82q4J7HUP6EymBKVlDNiuRBoFokV6GKE_V-lj5jOfvMCjqlrGt_B4/s400/IMG_0415.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I employed Trey's help with hanging the shelves. Since we weren't positive where the studs were in the wall, we used plastic anchors to get a more stable hold and found a few studs along the way! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYM7se5ZZYHYvw3S10tfmETSOa6vU3zJKOi9GpFASZ9es8owK5LtBfm4jyzgqPrjiCmtxQmA5j81ZHcc-Es_oMNt7-ZXprz-eIapbEqVrCY3u2F-QAdIBSd3CHzIsSDa3Abi7TYg1Q6mg/s1600/IMG_0420.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYM7se5ZZYHYvw3S10tfmETSOa6vU3zJKOi9GpFASZ9es8owK5LtBfm4jyzgqPrjiCmtxQmA5j81ZHcc-Es_oMNt7-ZXprz-eIapbEqVrCY3u2F-QAdIBSd3CHzIsSDa3Abi7TYg1Q6mg/s400/IMG_0420.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After two hours of measuring, eyeballing, drilling, and a dinner break we finally had the shelves up! This is my first round of styling them. They look a little different now and yes that is a halo of light at the top of the wall... a boy creation if I ever saw one :) Our living room and kitchen are horribly lit and this was Trey and his brothers solution... ohh boys! haha </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Sometimes class has to come ahead of the blog. You know so I don't flunk out :) I think sometimes I put too much pressure on myself to write these long fabulous posts that are witty and mind blowing (not that I usually do this haha). Weellll I would love to be able to do that but as I get closer and closer to graduating I seem to have only a small sliver of the time pie left for blogging. BUT back to the fun stuff.... <br />
<br />
I went to get my nails done today and I thought it would be super fun to add a little Valentine's Day whimsy.<br />

Cute right?

I hope you guys all had a great weekend! Trey and I went to the HGTV Home and Garden Show last Friday. I have to say as a 21 year old dreamer it was pretty cool to see all the outdoor patios and kitchens that the exhibitors had put together! One of the exhibitors had set up a waterfall that had a fire coming straight out of the middle of the water! It was insanely cool! Ahh... Someday....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_JKkuygpJCijxrGQbQYxmlr0dv-k5xzxkvw7x_z3Q8726Yt1Lr72w45fe-WXBvY2N9uzwfEHsZrEMPYNsA7AbIM_FuU3RhLTRs-QiKCumnxqcvSrhd0f01g6ATXxe03cC0ddBZPSxkh8/s1600/IMG_0344.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_JKkuygpJCijxrGQbQYxmlr0dv-k5xzxkvw7x_z3Q8726Yt1Lr72w45fe-WXBvY2N9uzwfEHsZrEMPYNsA7AbIM_FuU3RhLTRs-QiKCumnxqcvSrhd0f01g6ATXxe03cC0ddBZPSxkh8/s400/IMG_0344.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Does anyone know how to get the date off the bottom of the picture? It is bothering me!!! :)</span></div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn't take pictures inside the buildings because I was afraid some of the exhibitors might have had a problem with that. But I did manage to capture this priceless picture...</div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ2hEzQ4gledmvlP4btBM0jSOASQb5WRQf2DFr3qiYmW_MtH4pUdo8bvlatH-ipweJHvL4CZSkJ7mJyc6gxoUQKRDejHL3xBV76c1LDsmWZP_TTXpWwrrbRHTBzCUvnhl8zajsRlAHv3I/s1600/photo-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ2hEzQ4gledmvlP4btBM0jSOASQb5WRQf2DFr3qiYmW_MtH4pUdo8bvlatH-ipweJHvL4CZSkJ7mJyc6gxoUQKRDejHL3xBV76c1LDsmWZP_TTXpWwrrbRHTBzCUvnhl8zajsRlAHv3I/s400/photo-2.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Sorry for the icky IPhone picture, but I had to be sneaky... That's why two thirds of the picture is of a flyer.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Trey and I were walking along when (as Trey tells me) that this guy (he had a gold grill in his mouth!) pointed him out of the crowd and said "Hey come here, put your shoe up here." This was probably the third time that one of the exhibitors had cornered Trey. Bless his heart. He gets so uncomfortable, but he was a good sport and let the guy use his shoe polishing product on his shoes. I believe the product was called Shu-Nu and for the rest of the day <strike>still</strike> I randomly work in Shu-Nu? into our conversation as if I were saying Who Knew? The humor has worn off for Trey, but I still laugh every time! I guess I'm just easily amused... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyways here is the after picture that I made Trey take...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Trey is pretty hard on his shoes. He works out, mows, goes everywhere in sneakers, even wears them around the house? Does anyone else wear their shoes in the house? I don't. I'm more of a sock wearer. Anyways the product worked great and Trey was really impressed. Sorry for this little anecdote, but it was kind of the highlight of the Home and Garden Show for us since we aren't in the market for a new kitchen or patio :) Just dreamers! Did anyone else do anything fun or have anything funny happen to them this weekend?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

No one? Okay just me :) This weekend I will be going round two with the shower curtain for the Weekend Wonders series. I mentioned yesterday that all shower curtain progress went down the drain when my sister and cutie pie nephew came down for my birthday last weekend.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Here's a shot of me blowing out my adorable candleabra candle that my sister found. </div><br />

<br />
Well I also mentioned yesterday that I was going to tackle this mess this weekend....<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
There's bad news and good news about that....<br />
<br />
The bad news is that when we got the buffet that I found on Craigslist home it was two small for the TV in the living room.<br />
<br />
The good news is that it fits perfect in the bedroom! (I'll be back next week with a picture, we still need to do some rearranging) An added bonus was that I only spent $35 on it!! Thank you Craigslist and the power of negotiating!<br />
<br />
So I'm off to wrestle some ruffles on a shower curtain. What are you guys up to this weekend? Anyone in the OK area going to the fair grounds for the Home and Garden Show? The boyfriend and I are! More on that next week :) Have a good weekend y'all!Haley {A Dash of Kennedy}http://www.blogger.com/profile/08394334090232532326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157909083503599114.post-24561692287578739232012-01-19T15:46:00.000-08:002012-01-19T16:47:06.661-08:00Getting SchooledThis week kind of snuck up on me.

</div> Weekend Wonders is a series I'm starting to motivate me and anyone else that wants to tackle a project this weekend! I'll start with a preview post on Fridays about the project that I hope to complete and will follow up early the next week with the progress I made or a finished product post.<br />
<br />
This weekend's task has been put on the back burner for absolutely wayyyy to long. Its kind of ridiculous actually. We have been living without a proper shower curtain for months now because I am in love with the idea of a ruffled shower curtain, but have held back for two reasons. The first reason is that the boyfriend has an aversion to ruffles for some reason? Weird huh? The second reason being that the beautiful ruffle shower curtain at Urban Outfitters (pictured below) that we've all seen is out of my price range and I can't justify spending that much when I could just sit down and sew it myself. So I have declared that this is the weekend that I will tackle the shower curtain! Look at me, declaring something! Another factor is that I love the UO ruffle shower curtain but I've tweaked the idea a little to incorporate a hint of a modern pattern that I'm kind of in love with right now. You guessed it... Chevron!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some shower curtains that I'm drawing inspiration from:<br />

If that makes any sense! Ha! If you guys are going to tackle a project this weekend I'd love to see them! Just leave me a link in the comment section and I'll check it out.

</div><div>Its the Canon PowerShot ELPH 310 HS. Now I'm not a camera expert at all, but I was very excited to buy my first "big girl" camera today. Hopefully, I'll be able to update some of the posts with some clearer pictures. I'm still working on learning how to use all the camera features, so stay tuned for my critiques. Now I considered this sort of a "Happy Birthday to Me" present to myself and lets just say this week's paycheck didn't last long after I decided that I had to have it! Anyone else treat themselves to a spur of the moment present this week? I'd love to know that I wasn't alone!! </div><div><br />
</div><div>On a side note, the lovely Natasha over at <a href="http://www.schuelove.com/2012/01/necklace-giveawaysilver-lining-decor.html" target="_blank">Schue Love</a> is hosting a giveaway for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/silverliningdecor?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">Silver Lining Decor</a>. It's a must see! A ton of fabulous pieces. I might just have to give myself another Birthday present... <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/61351398/vintage-red-jewel-and-turquoise-enamel" target="_blank">these earrings</a> are calling my name!</div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">P.S. I am on the hunt for a new camera, so the picture quality should be improved very soon, and I'm mentioning it on here so I will actually hold myself to buying one and not put it on the back burner! One of my friends said to me today "you'll never regret a picture" and I just thought that was so true. I will hopefully have one soon so I can show you a little shelf project that I've been working on. Stay tuned....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm pretty sure I've used like twelve k-cups since last night when I got my Keurig! It was an early birthday present from the boyfriend!! He's so sweet!

</div><div>So COMFY! Like so comfy you pass out for a while and wake up the next morning kind of comfy! The couch purchase is just the beginning to project "Overhaul Boy Living Room." I never really showed you guys before pictures but visualize brown microfiber couches with pizza stains and bob marley/jimmy hendrix albums tacked on the wall. That. was. my. living. room... I finally persuaded Trey that we needed to start "fresh" and so we started saving our pennies for a new couch. I'm hoping that this new couch is going to be a jumping off point in the decorating process. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Heck! Even Trey said the other day "Curtains would make this room 10 million times better."</div><div><br />
</div><div>With my response: "THEY would!... <strike>Are you feeling alright?</strike>" He doesn't talk decor much with me.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I immediately ran to get my computer to start hunting down fabric, which I found this at JoAnn's Fabric..</div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Unfortunately, It is out of stock and I don't know when it will be back in... So option number two is to paint my own curtains. I think the bold stripes that <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-little-cheerleaders-and-peak-at.html" target="_blank">Dear Lilly</a> is working on would look great in my living room. Maybe in a soft aqua color? Have you guys ever painted curtains? Any tips? I'm hoping to share them by next week! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
