The Saturday Six

One.

I love this idea. Imagine removing the knife block from cluttering up the counter top!! (It is my least favorite counter item, actually.)

Two.

This gift idea made me giggle. It's like your very own version of awkward family photos! (And let's face it...most of us could easily make this.) If you do make one of these, please make sure your family has a good sense of humor!

Three.

As you might remember, I'm on the lookout for some DIY ornaments so I can theme up a couple of new trees this year. I found this post with some ideas for dressing up clear plastic (or glass if you don't have kids, pets, or a clumsy nature) ornaments. I have actually made ornaments using that glitter method before, and they turn out quite stunning. (And it's not as messy as you might think, for those of you who aren't glitter fans. I mean it could be a lot worse.)

Four.

We have a monthiversary, engagementversary, and anniversary coming up over the next three months, so this was a fun post to find: anniversary food ideas! If we're not going out to eat (or out for a treat) I try to always make something special to eat on our monthiversary, so it's always good to have some new ideas. And of course, good food isn't just for the married. Treat yourself, even if you're single! I remember doing that now and then in my single days, just to celebrate who God made me to be!

Five.

I'm super excited to share this one with you! Ryan's cousin is a talented jewelry designer, and she just went full time with it, rather than doing it on the side as she has been. Angie launched her website yesterday, and I am just so proud of her. I helped her with the writing, so it's been a fun project to share with her. Go check out her work!  (Fun fact: She made the bracelet Ryan gave me on our wedding day, and she also made his wedding tie chain to match it.)

Six.

I read this idea a while ago, so I bought the Epsom salts to actually do it. (I need to make that a priority in the next week or two.) You take your old essential oil bottles and take off the lids/droppers and then let the last bits of oil mix with the salts. I use bath salts when I do pedicures, and I ran out of the bottle I had. Rather than buying an expensive new bottle, I just purchased Epsom salts and will scent them with my leftover oils. Much cheaper.
