Durham Love Yourself

IloveDurham

I live in Durham, NC and I love this town. Although Durham is sometimes incorrectly judged by people that have not visited or lived here, it's really starting to make people stop and rethink what they think they knew about Durham.

Just a couple of exciting news bits about this town I call home:

So, anywho, that's where I live. We love it here, and looks like everyone else is finally starting to love it too!

  1. I agree, Durham unfairly gets a bad rep from people who probably have never spent a lick of time there. Way to show off how amazing the Bull City is.

  3. Oh, girl, you are speaking to my heart! My mom {and four sisters} grew up in Durham, I learned to drive a stick shift in the parking lot of Northern High School and I've visited my fair share of newborn baby cousins at Durham Regional.

    I also singlehandedly kept El Rodeo in business when I lived and taught there the five years after college.

    What took me away? A Texas cowboy. That's the only thing that could ever do it. But I still consider Durham home sweet home. I love it so...

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
