Yup, you read that right. It’s a mini Polaroid ornament tree! *Cue the cute sounds* I first came across the mini Polaroid idea on Ambrosia Creative. I fell in puppy eye love with the idea of mini Polaroids! I mean honestly! THEY ARE ADORABLE! Anyways, ever since I bought my Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera (I know not a polaroid but close enough for now) I have been obsessed, snapping pictures any chance I get. Ask Chris, he is usually the subject of my mini obsession. Anyways, when I saw this magnet idea, I instantly thought ‘I can turn these into ornaments!’ Then the wheels started turning and next thing I knew I was printing, cutting, gluing and hanging cute little photos of our 2014 memories.
Lest We Forget
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

Front Foyer Makeover
Our house is a constant work in progress but Chris knew this when he bought it. When we first decided to redo our first foyer we knew we wanted it to be inviting, bright and kinda cool. So let me show you what we started with, this was an easy makeover.
No blog would be complete without a ‘during’ photo post. All that hard work and long nights that Chris and I put into it. I also learned a few things about rewiring lights and outlets. Chris is really handy when it comes to stuff like that.Read More
I *Heart* Random Finds
I just had to share the cool stuff I found on my random life journeys. For example, I have not seen these cereals in ages and then yesterday while I was putting up some groceries at a local Fortinos I looked up and couldn’t believe it! I found boxes of Franken Berry and Count Chocula cereal!!!
Yeah I know it’s crazy awesome! My breakfast routine is almost complete…now I just have to find a box of Yummy Mummy cereal.
Hey do you want to know what else I found while I was therapy shopping… how about some cool lego sets and perhaps a Mockingjay Pin.
.
If you haven’t already, I definitely recommend reading The Hunger Games Trilogy. It is brilliantly written. Not to mention the movies are great. So if you haven’t already, go out and buy them.
Are you also wondering what to get the Simpsons fan in your life? I recommend the Simpsons lego pieces above. They come in mystery packs so you may end up spending more than you would like but I love them and I don’t mind the surprise I get from opening a package.
Anyways, I hope your weekend is treating you well. I’ll leave you with a pic from my favourite Lady,
Happy Saturday!
