Frilling Wreath Card Holder
This weekend, my friend Chansin and I had some fun working on a Pinterest inspired Christmas craft. I know it’s pretty early, but I think we all know how fast Christmas tends to sneak up on us. Also, it isn’t every weekend that I find myself with some free time available when I would normally be doing homework.
I absolutely love this wreath idea, and I’m so glad that all my sweet friends’ Christmas cards will be more proudly displayed than ever before this year! I used some cards I still had from last year so I could fully display the wreath. Check out the finished product below.
Do you have any fun Christmas crafts you are looking forward to this year?

Sweet Saturday: cheesecake stuffed strawberries, plus other yum recipes!
Well, I’m back from my trip to Disney World, and you guys didn’t even notice I was gone because the posts kept coming! Booyah! This week I made dinner for friends and because they are close friends, I decided it would be safe to try some new recipes from my Pinterest recipe board.
I tried this penne with roasted asparagus and balsamic butter recipe (I did not use all of the butter it called for, I reduced the vinegar down a bit more than it suggested, and I added a tiny bit more brown sugar to the sauce). I also tried this roasted peppers with capers and mozzarella recipe from Smitten Kitchen. I paired these with fresh green beans and french bread. Finally, for dessert, I tried these cheesecake stuffed strawberries.
Here’s how mine turned out (Unfortunately, it looks like my phone will be my only picture-taking device for a while):
All three recipes turned out great! I was really pleasantly surprised and will definitely be making them all again in the future. I especially recommend the roasted peppers dish for a great summertime dinner addition.
Anything making your Saturday sweet?

I’m on Pinterest…
…and loving it. It is such an easy, awesome way to save things I like. I have always found bookmarks to be so unwieldy and difficult to sort through. Now I don’t have to use them any more, nor do I have to keep files of images I find on the web on my hard drive. I love this. I most use my “Dreamhouse” board, in which I file inspiration for someday when we have a house of our own again. Like this:
