Hi Peeps!
Since I actually have the motivation to blog, I figure I might as well get 'er done before that motivation passes.
Nothing new has been going on here. Still living with my MIL. It's harder than I thought it would be. Not so much living with my MIL part of it, but more of having to deal with not having a place of our own. I just don't feel settled. And I feel like Kevin and I really haven't had a good, solid chance to focus on each other and our first year of marriage. It will be one year next month, by the way. How did that go by so fast!?
*sigh*
I'm trying to be patient though. Soon enough we'll have a nice home to call our own. Patience seems to be the main theme in my life this year.
*double sigh*
Remember Father's Day? ;)
Well, for my dad's gift I made him a Man's Bouquet. I found the idea on Pinterest (of course) and kind of ran with it. My dad's favorite hard liquor is Jack Daniel's whiskey (which also happens to be one of my favorites as well).
I got the following from Michael's:
Clay pot
Black and white paint for clay pots
Wooden sticks
Round Styrofoam ball
Some of the stringy packaging stuff
I got the following from BevMo:
Four kinds of each mini-Jack Daniel's whiskey that BevMo carried
Two cigars
1. I painted the pot black.
2. I printed out the Jack Daniel's logo from the Internet onto really thick photo paper, in the hopes that I could just cut out the logo and use it as a stencil. That didn't really happen as I had expected. The white paint bled all under the stencil so it was a big white blob. But...it gave me somewhat of a guide to go off of to fix the logo so it looked decent.
3. I hot glued the wooden sticks on the back of the mini JD bottles and the cigars.
4. I put the Styrofoam ball in the pot, put the stringy packaging stuff on top of that and then stuck the mini JD bottles and cigars in and that was it.
My dad LOVED it!
