on my merry way ...

... to illinois for a girls' weekend w/ my mom + her sisters. (i hope they don't mind that i'm tagging along.) but before i left town, i decided to leave wade a little something just to remind him that i think he's perty special.

armed w/ scrapbook paper, 6 pushpins and elmer's glue ...

and this little upcycled cork pirate ship diy from crafting a green world.

i saw 3 ships come sailing in ...

yes yes - those little pirate ships on crafting a green world were probably intended for little boys. but if our halloween costumes from last fall are any indication, my husband is definitely a little boy PIRATE at heart. {in fact every other picture of him on facebook is dressed as pirate. is that a problem!?!}

okay my party people ... have a great weekend!

*** random: today wade stopped by the office to eat lunch w/ me --- lovely to be soooo busy at work that i have to take lunches by computer monitor --- but that's beside the point. while he was here, he happened to find his BIRTHDAY PRESENT. apparently my husband isn't just a pirate ... he's also a detective. boo.
