I've decided to start doing free printables on (some) Fridays! Sound like a good idea? I sure hope so.
This is in preparation to open up my shop and sell my designs. It's a tasting, if you will. And I hope you will.
Today's freebie is a 5x7 print:
You can download it here for free! Keep in mind that this offer expires at the end of the month so make sure to get it while you can.
Enjoy!
Mike and I bought a new house in August and I promise that I will post pics of it as I continue to blog. It's pretty much my favoritest house ever. Luckily it's all ours.
One of my favorite parts of this house is the kitchen. It makes me happy. And behind my sink is a little corner with windows that I knew when I first saw it that it would someday be home to a little herb garden. Which it has.
We have Basil, Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano, Sage, Mint, and Peppermint that I've put in simple, white pots from IKEA. I like simple. And cheap. I then painted some popsicle sticks with black chalkboard paint and wrote their names on them with a paint pen. Again, simple and cheap.
Now, I am no herb expert. I mostly got them because I thought it would look pretty. And they do! They also smell lovely. But I am not here to give advice on herbs or planting or using (I may have already killed my Rosemary...ahem). So, I may not be doing the whole drying/preserving herbs thing right (even with Google at my fingertips, I'm still going with the flow). My plan of action includes me occasionally pulling leaves off the plants and letting them dry on my counter on a plate.
Then I put them in ziploc's for a future use. Super high-tech advanced herbology here. Again, I mostly got them for superficial reasons. And I'm ok with that.
And if you're wondering where I got the title for this post, it comes from one of my all-time favorite movies, Clueless:
TAI: I could really use some sort of an Herbal refreshment...
DIONNE: Oh, well, we do lunch in 10 minutes. We don'y have any tea, but we have Coke and stuff.
Ah. Love it. Hilarious.
You guys. It's been a while. Like...since March. Yikes.
And a lot has happened since March and I wanted to do a little introduction of sorts before I jump back into blogging (which I'm planning on doing). So, first things first, meet our dogs.
We got Emma in March when she was 3 months old. We. Love. This. Girl. Even when she poops on the carpet and chews my rug. Even then. She's a Welsh Terrier and is pretty much a walking teddy bear (if you don't believe me, check out my Instagram--I'm clearly a dog mama since that's pretty much all I post). She is now 10 months old and is growing out of being a puppy. Which is a good thing.
We got Oliver just over a month ago. He is a 5 year old Jack Russell/Wheaten Terrier mix. We. Love. This. Guy. We were looking for dog #2 and found him at an adoption fair put on by Petsmart in Salt Lake City. He is such a chill dude. His only real issues are that he gets anxiety when put in a kennel. Needless to say, he gets to go to doggy daycare every day during the week! We're working on him getting better with that and we don't want him to be worried that no one is coming back for him--it's a little tricky not knowing his history. But this dude is trained and will lick my face on command which translates to being a keeper (in my books).
They are getting along great! Expect lots of photos/news of these two. We can't quite help it. They are our furry children.
Anyways, it's good to be back! :)
