This past weekend was full of so many fun and creative adventures, I didn’t want it to end!
Thursday and Friday, we celebrated Alex’s brother’s birthday. Thursday night we went to Houston’s. It is an amazing eatery with American style food. Amber and I shared a veggie burger and it was the best veggie burger I have ever had in my life. You must try this restaurant out!
Alex and I got Chris a gift card, but we wanted to make it a little special. I printed out the template for the bow tie gift boxes from Paper Crave, and put his gift card inside. It was extremely easy and really fun to make.

Friday night, we went out to Memphis — another great restaurant. Then we went to see Toy Story 3. It was fantastic and I loved it!
Saturday morning, I was hating life. I woke up sooooo early! But I was like a little jumping bean when I arrived at the flower market. So many flowers! Creswell, Caitlyn and I went crazy buying tons and tons of flowers.

Then I went straight from the flower market to a craft day with some of the girls from my church. Tiffany, one of the sweet women I work with, invited me to do a craft for their Women of the Well bible study. I had done this particular craft back in February for the Virtue blog at Harvest — it should be posted in the next month or so, and Tiffany wanted me to do it again for their girls.

Sunday was Father’s Day — you all knew that though, right?
We went to my Dad’s church, The Well in Oak Valley. It was a great service and a good time of worship with close family and friends. We then got to hang out with Alex’s parents for the evening and enjoyed long conversations and good food.
I also enjoyed making cards using some Martha Stewart clip art to make cards for both my dad and Alex’s dad.

So, that was my fun, creative, crafting weekend! I hope you had just as much fun as I did!
Happy Monday!

I was gonna ask you why your hair looks all pretty and done at 4:45AM!!! but then I read that you went straight to the craft thing, so I guess you wouldn’t want to show up looking all crazy. I don’t believe I could ever make myself look that good getting up at 4:45AM. Good job:)
