i.love.you

Yes April is the month of birthdays in our family.....my last post was from my birthday and now I'm paying my respects to my wonderful hubby whose birthday was April 11th (sorry I'm running a little late on the post). We have now both reached the quarter century mark!

I have Pinterest to thank for the cute balloon idea.....and pretty much every other creative idea I've ever tried. It was so fun to do something like this for Mark--each balloon had a slip of paper clothes-pinned to it that said something that I love about him on it. You can never tell the person you love that you love them enough! And of course we celebrated with good food and beer :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!

Thank you all for the best birthday wishes! 

I had a wonderful birthday thanks to great friends and a perfect husband! 

As you can see, I was showered with flowers and great food at work. Then I came home to my husband telling me to dress up because we were going out. He took me to Roy's, a really nice Hawaiian-fushion restaurant, where we had to pretend that we were celebrating our 2 year anniversary because my suave husband accidentally checked the "anniversary" box instead of the "birthday" box when he was making our online reservations. Needless to say, we got an ear full of  "well, they say if you make it to the 2 year mark then you'll really make it." They also brought us a complimentary chocolate cake with chocolate sauce on the side of the dish, spelling out "Happy Anniversary Mark and Jackie!"

 It was the most interesting birthday I have ever had :)

And I'm back with an outfit post as promised! These last few weeks, I have been a bit preoccupied so sorry about the lack of posts and creativity......I'm still trying but posts may be a little less often for a while so bare with me :) 

On the upside, I am wearing one of my fav color combos right now, orange & grey. Love the contrast! 

AND.....I am turning one quarter of a century tomorrow, yikes! Crazy how much happens in your first quarter of life! So my hubs is planning something for me but I've hijacked his facebook, phone, and email, and NOTHING......he is so sneaky! But as everyone else has reminded me, it will be much better if it is a surprise like he intended. So I must fight the urge to play detective, I guess....

I did it! I FINALLY started my Etsy shop for my invitations :) This is why I haven't posted in over a week....its NOT because I was busy finishing the final book of the Hunger Games and stuffing my face with rice krispie treats......

Anyway, I know I already showed you my invites not too long ago, but here is the link to my Etsy Shop so you can check it out. Get this....it's called Letters&Twine. Just had to link it to my blog because I love it so much :)

I only have the two invite sets that I showed you up so far, but I am working on some more designs and they will be up hopefully soon! 

Thanks for all your support...couldn't have done it without you :)

PS>I will have outfit posts up later this week, I promise!
