Couple things

1.  Devin races Lance in 5 days.  So excited.  Shoot up a prayer for a safe race and safe travels, please.

2.  My brother, Alex’s, photo is the picture of the day on DC’s biggest blog!!  You can see the rest of his Tweed Ride pics here.  He is so good…I wish I got the photography talent.  Devin and I found his bike for him in Houston.  It was quite the ordeal to get it to DC, but so worth it. 

Avery

Avery is turning 4 in December!

We met at Discovery Green to take some birthday pictures.

It was pretty hot out (welcome to Houston in November), so the jacket lasted about 4 shots.

Don’t let this cute little behind fool you, people.

She’s a pistol.

Her cousin, Addison, was there too.

Here’s a little preview…

Yep. I wanted to eat her face too.

I think this means I get to cross something off of my list!

Happy Tuesday!

We Race Lance

IN 6 DAYS!

Just sayin.

Dare to Be Thankful

For the Dare to DIY week 1, I decided to make something that I knew we would use and that reflected one of my favorite hobbies.

Wine.

So, I made some fallly Thanksgivingy wine tags.

Because my family likes some wine on Thanksgiving.

And because I don’t want anyone drinking my wine.

2 tags

These were super easy, and I think they turned out pretty good. I just got some clearance leaves from a local craft store- I think I paid $1 for all of them, and I bought some hoop earrings in the jewelry making section. If you need some, my package came with 60. I do not need 60 of these.

beadsEnough beads to last me long enough to pass them down to my grandchildren? Check.

Prepare for borderline bad pictures…

beads on hoop leaf with bead

Pick a bead that has a bigger hole- the leaf and the ring have to go through that one. pliars with leaf beads then leaf on hoop

beads leaf beads bent Make sure to bend the end so they don’t come apart.

I might find a different way to put the names/initials on them- I don't know if I am a fan of the gold paint. Maybe a stamp? Maybe just different color leaves for each person.

wine fall all tags I like them.
