Denver Overnighter!

Over the summer Scot and I randomly decided to go and spend a weekend in Downtown Denver. When we can't always get away it's sometimes fun to just take a quick trip even if we just drive down the road an hour or so!
The view from our room and a really cute little park that we were able walk around...
We stayed near our State Capital!...
Here is our hotel...
Here is a random, gigantic, red chair with a horse on it??...


We ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe on the 16th Street mall.

After dinner we walked down 16th street and listened to a band and then stopped to get gelato before heading in.
Ahhhh, I miss summer!! Happy Monday!

Crochet Baskets

I have loved making these little crocheted baskets for the last few months! I don't even really need them or have any real purpose for them I just think it's theraputic to make them! I can come home from a long day at work and whip out one of these cute little baskets and I just think it's relaxing I guess...or something...and stuff...

You can get the tutorial HERE at the Design Sponge DIY blog.

THIS yarn works great and is super affordable. You can find it at JoAnns, Michaels, Hobby Lobby and probably Wal Mart if yours hasn't taken out the craft section like ours! So disappointing...

A New Blog to Love!

I recently discovered a blog that I really really like. It features a ton of different fashion blogs of those seeking modesty while still being fashionable and staying within a budget! I have gotten so many cute ideas and it's just fun to see where other people are shopping and getting great deals!
A couple of my favorites...
Check it out!

Catalina Island

I love going on vacation! I love visiting new places and seeing things that I have never seen before especially with my hubby! Sometimes I day dream about where we could go next and sometimes (most of the time) I go so far as to plan an entire trip through Expedia just to see how much it would cost even though I know it isn't very realistic to think that we can go on an exotic and exciting trip EVERY week! But it's fun to dream right?

This picture was taken on Catalina Island during our last Cruise in November 2009. What a beautiful place! We were able to explore the Island with a golf cart and a map and enjoy everything it had to offer! I would love to go back and stay for a couple of nights just to take in more of the laid back atmosphere of the Island! This would be the perfect place for a three day weekend!!

Happy Thursday! Only one more day til' the weekend!
