Creative Pen Holder

What happens when you just can’t find what you are looking for? You make it!
I was on a mission one day to find a cute pen holder for my work desk…  If I am going to be at work for most of my day I want to have items around me that bring in my style and that I like to look at.  Come to find out there are very few options out there for pen holders so I got creative.

Make this for yourself by picking out a small basket that fits your style.  I got all my supplies at Hobby Lobby. Buy craft rocks, marbles, or whatever filling you can think of and fill the basket up most of the way.  This allows you to stick pens, a letter opener, scissors, etc. in without them all just lumping to one side.  The options are endless!
As you can tell I have a little bit of a pen fetish.
 Enjoy!!!

Balloon Art Birthday

So my husband just turned 29 and we decided to all go out to Latitude 30. It is a new restaurant in Jacksonville that is an upscale sports bar/game arcade/bowling alley.  If that is not enough excitement for one night my cousin, Justin, showed up with his balloons.  Now, you might be thinking “balloons?” your husband is 29 not 5. But these are not just any ordinary balloons. Justin is the absolute best balloon artist I have ever seen.  Here is the one he made for me…How CUTE is that turtle? Justin is the guy in the background of my photo.

Take a look at a few other balloons he has done…

Check out more great stuff on his facebook page, Twist of Fun! Ballon Art.
