Easy DIY Wedding Gift

On Saturday, Chloe, Logan and I attended a wedding. Chloe was the flower girl and I was taking pictures. The couple asked that instead of bringing a gift that it would be like a potluck and everyone could bring a dish. I did to that although I also really wanted to give the bride and groom a gift from the three of us. After brainstorming and searching Pinterest I finally came up with an idea that was super easy and quick to make. 

I cut a small board off of a pallet that I had out behind my garage. You could use any piece of wood you wanted, Michaels I'm sure has something that would work well. I already had a pallet so I decided to use that. I just used a saw to cut it off, I would have used a crowbar but the boards were snapping when I tried that. 

After I got it cut I used some sand paper to smooth it out just a bit, to clean off the dirt and so no one would get any splinters from it. When that was done, which didn't take long at all, I got out my paint. I choose to use white but you could use whatever color you like. I put a couple coats on and let it dry. On the back it says "Love Chloe, Logan & Maddie". The only thing I might have done differently would have been to trace out the heart before painting it rather than just winging it, but it didn't turn out too bad. In the centre of the heart I put the date the couple got married (Saturday). 

The couple loved it, especially the bride, she used it as one of her decorations! Let me know what your go to give for a wedding is! :)

Spring Time Tag

I haven't done a tag lately, really I haven't done much posting at all. With the end of the school year nearing the end I have been pretty busy. Between that and work I haven't had too much time to sit down and write. I have going to really try and make an effort to get posts out more regularly again though. So stay tuned! 1. Spring means glowing skin, what do you do for healthy glowing skin? Sunscreen? Haha, I don't really use anything else, usually just a tinted face cream with SPF 30 in it. 2. What is the first beauty thing you think of when the weather warms up? Letting my hair dry out in the breeze, it is always so soft and wavy when I do that.  3. What is your favorite part of spring?
