The shams and duvet are made of 400 thread count Egyptian cotton, and let me tell you, it's some of the softest, highest quality fabric that has ever graced my bed! If you're thinking of giving your bed a makeover, I suggest looking at these duvets!
Hopefully I'll have something more to report on, but until then, I hope you're having a good Monday, and don't forget to check back for the giveaway I'll be having in the next few days!
I hope you're all having a good weekend!
1. He lets me have fun without worrying that we're acting immature.
2. He doesn't get mad when I call him the girl in the relationship. He's sappy, he likes romantic comedies, and he lives to snuggle. See?
3. He protects me from snakes even though he hates them, too.
4. He agrees to compete in my pool races even though he knows I'm going to win.
5. He lets me use his tools even though I play rough and have burned him before with a red hot bolt.
6. He wakes me up every morning before he leaves to tell me he loves me and that he hopes I'll have a good day, even though my breath stinks and I tell him to leave me alone.
7. He lets me cook fish, without complaint, as often as I want, even though I know he'd prefer beef.
8. He lets me put makeup on him when his sugar is low (he's diabetic, and he may kill me for sharing that).
9. He sings me made up songs in a voice that sounds too animated and cartoonish to come out of a real human being.
10. He lets me be the animal-loving, tree-hugging, uber sarcastic, introverted, creative oddball that I am without ever trying to change me.
And that's why I love my Chrissie.

Regarding the last picture, you may be thinking, "you added one of the hottest men alive to your wish list?" Well, yes, I did. It's a little joke with my lovely blog friend, Miss Annie Cristina, and I promise to tell you about it in due time! If you have a wish list you'd like to share, please leave me a link in the comments so I can see!
The first thing we did was went through the woods looking for the perfect branch. My advice would be to get one from a recently fallen or dead tree, but not one so dead it'll break from the lightest touch. If you get a green branch, you're going to have to set it aside for a few days and let it completely dry.Once I selected my branches, we went back to the garage, and I cut the end/bottom flat with a band saw, then I cut the little branches back far enough so that they were strong enough not to break when something was hung from them.
Next (this is where Chris comes in), the lumber was cut into two 4"x4" pieces. Then the base of each branch was measured, and Chris drilled a hole that size through the lumber, in which to place my little trees.
Once the branches were set into their blocks, a wood screw was used to "pinch" it in place and ensure it wasn't going to wiggle, spin or fall out. Then the last thing to do was paint! See, it's an easy project, and a fun way to display your jewelry!
Lastly, if you're in or around Charlottesville, Virginia, you should stop by and see me at The Bridge on Monticello Road from 10am to 5pm!
