Pinspiration Thursday

The Pin

FREE Printable Letter Banners at Shanty-2-Chic.com! Print a banner for any holiday, party or room for FREE!!!  LOVE these!!

This was a super fun and easy project I found on Pinterest.  This pin links to a blog post of printable banner letters.  Every letter in the alphabet is available including some punctuation and special characters in another post (snowflakes, hearts, etc.)

The hardest part about this project is all the printing and cutting.  The office looked like this for awhile the day I tackled this banner.

























What you need for this is paper, a printer, twine, and tape...EASY!

First, plan out your saying and figure out how many letters it takes.  This will allow you to buy the correct amount of paper at the store.  I bought silver shimmery scrapbook paper and cut it to an 8 1/2 x 11 size.

Next, find common letters in the saying.  This allows you to click on each letter you need only once (a time and convenience issue).

Print out all of your letters then cut them out. 

Arrange the letters how you want them to hang and tape them to the twine.

Hang and enjoy!




















I chose "Merry and Bright" for our office and  I am totally in love with it!

Krispy Kreme

I had to work all weekend which meant I needed some sort of motivation to wake up early and be amicable on Saturday morning.  Krispy Kreme always seems to do the trick.  When that red "Hot and Ready" sign is on it is hard not to stop!



















































Although I settled for a decaf coffee, they offer a red velvet latte.  *Mind blown*  If I were indulging in caffeine these days nothing would've come between me and that red velvet latte!
 
 



























Words are not necessary.  Your salivary glands do all the talking.

20 Weeks

Halfway there!!! Woohoo!!!


Shirt: Gap Vest: Gap Jeans: Loft

























None of the clothes in this picture are maternity.  I am lucky enough to still be able to wear some of my pre pregnancy jeans and most of my tops.  I do have to extend the button of my jeans with a hair tie and I use the belly band too.

I can't believe I'm already half way there.  It is finally starting to feel real now!  I feel kicks and other movement on a daily basis which is so fun.

Still no crazy cravings. Foods I'm eating a lot of are pickles, mustard, oranges, and anything sweet (milkshakes, chocolate, you name it!)

This Friday we find out whether we will be having a boy or a girl and I couldn't be more excited!!! I don't think I'll  be getting much sleep Thursday night :)
