Want a drink anyone?

We've had these coasters for over a year now. I wanted to put photos in them but the slots are so small and they do not fit any "normal" sized photos (not even these school sized photos). We haven't used them much because they aren't very fun to look at... until now.

I just dug through my scraps of paper and made them look a lot better! It was super easy and quick; I wish I would have thought of it sooner!

The Towel Wedding Cake

My Mom and I made this "cake" for my cousin's wedding shower last week. The bottom layer has 2 bath-sized towels rolled up, the middle layer has 2 hand towels and the top layer has 2 washcloths. We wrapped ribbon around the layers and used long straight pins to secure it. Then we tucked some silk flowers into the layers. Viola!

Girlfriends Album

My mom bought this album for me before I got married. (I think she got it at Kohls). I put a few pictures from college in it and set in on one of the shelves in our living room. I continue to add photos to it when I develop them, but ONLY girls go in it! :) It is really fun to page through and see all the good times I've had with my girlfriends. It doesn't really mean much to my husband but that's what makes women so different, we need these kinds of relationships!

Here are some of the most recent pages:
Visiting some college friends in St. Louis, MO and going to the beach with Debbie:

Almost our whole suite! We were having some fun in EGR. Also, Debbie visiting at Christmas and my SILs:

Some more suite-ness, a boat ride with a friend, hiking with Amy and Kristin, and "craftiness" with Amy: We never did hear, did you guys get those? :)

Backpacking the Manistee River (such tough women!) and this fall on the Muskegon River:

Good times. Good times.
