Wow… It has been a while since I’ve gotten to sit down and write a post. Between Annabelle suddenly taking much shorter naps, and fighting them and me getting a “death cold” it’s been a bit crazy around here. I am finally starting to feel better, and hope that Annabelle stays healthy.
So, Valentine’s Day was Annabelle’s last “my first” holiday. Is it
weird that it made me a little bit sad? I just can’t believe she is
almost a year old. I know everyone says time flies, and I knew that it
would, but I’m still in awe. She is growing and learning so much (which
is perhaps why her naps have taken a bit of turn for the worse). I
can’t wait to see what the next year brings.
I totally meant to post these pictures before Valentine’s Day, but since life got in the way they are a bit late. I have been struggling with decorating my mantel. I was looking up ideas online and there was all this talk about making a “triangle”. There should be a base in the middle then items of varying heights/some movement (i.e. a candle) on either side of the base piece making a visual triangle. My problem is that my mantel is way to long for that. It spans the entire wall (15-20 feet perhaps, I’m to lazy to measure it right now). So I tried to use the triangle concept by create three separate visual areas. The middle then one on either side.
See below for the “triangle”. |
Well, that was a long post! Finished just in time, Annabelle stirs! Soon to come some smash cake photos! 🙂 Have a great day!
