How to Make a Book Safe

This year for Christmas I got Adam the Art Of Manliness book collection. They are full of tips and tricks for a modern day man to use. Plus relationship advice, essays from famous men throughout history, and tons more stuff for guys. 

While looking for the books I was going through their site and saw an essay they had about building a book safe. I love the idea of having a book on the shelf to keep secret treasures in. Plus when I told my brother about it, he jumped at the idea of having one. So I decided to try it out. 

I Left My Heart In....

Just another quick craft update from over the weekend.

A few months back while cruising for crafts I thought I had seen someone make a map of all of the important places in their relationship. Kind of like a map of all if the places they had left their heart. Having moved around a lot in my life and in my relationship with a military man, I could definitely relate. I loved that idea and decided I had to give it a try.

Don't worry you are not reading the title wrong and you certainly didn't click on the wrong date. 

Considering how much time I have to make up for here (and how stinking cold it is outside) I have been spending some time going over and organizing old photos. 

Like this gem of my two boys:

Finally Back in Action and Some Art to boot!

Wow that was a long break....

Seriously though I had no intention of being away for so long. But life (as it often does) kinda got in the way of my plans there and I just haven't had any time to sit down and write. There has been a TON going on.

Hubby and I spent most of last year trying out, preparing, and planning for him joining the fire academy. I would like to proudly say, after all of his many months of blood, sweat, and tears (mainly mine)....he got in! I cannot express how happy and how proud I am of him. I also cannot express how busy we have been with it. I thought once the academy started everything would slow down.

HA.
