So… today I had planned to share the paper pinwheel project I teased on Instagram earlier this week. But as you can see, I have no pinwheel project to share. It seems that I didn’t quite think through my project and found myself with lots of pinwheels and no way to hang them up! I think I’ve finally found a solution, but I’m waiting for some glue to dry.
Isn’t that how life goes some days? Just sitting around waiting for glue to dry.
I just wanted to take a quick moment today to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas. I hope this day brings you warm hugs and ear-to-ear smiles!
From all of us at Two Purple Couches, have a wonderful holiday season, and thank you for joining us on our crafting and decorating adventures!
I started blogging to have a personal, creative outlet. It was the place where I would share the vision I had for our newly-built home, and watch it come to life. It was the place where I would try out all those projects and ideas I’d been pinning for months. And it was the place where I would write how I wanted.
Two Purple Couches is still all of these things to me, but some days, it’s easy to forget why I started. And I need a simple reminder—four powerful, motivational words in the form of a DIY quote art project—to jolt me back to those early posts, and the reason why I hit publish in the first place.
Do you have a hard time doing nothing? I do.
I am always go-go-go. Even on vacation, I like having a to-do list of places to go and sights to see. It’s what I’m used to; it’s how our family vacationed when I was a kid. We were never sit-on-the-beach kind of people.
We just got back from a sit-on-the-beach kind of vacation. And it really got me thinking about my relaxation habits. Or lack thereof.
Today is a pretty special day.
If you count our dating years, Tom and I have been together for 14 years. I am 29 years old, so that is pretty much half of my life. Half of my life. I have known this man.
We were awkward teenagers together. We made it through college with a long-distance relationship. And today, we’ve been married for 7 of those 14 years.
