d.i.y//neon flower pots


what you need
+ terra cotta flower pots {super cheap at walmart}
+ painters tape
+ neon spray paint 
+ primer spray paint {not pictured} 


step one//prep your work space by placing newspaper on ground {be sure to tape them down so the wind doesnt blow them onto the pots}. then tape your desired design on the pots. 


step two//spray a coat of primer paint on pots and let dry for half an hour. you may want to add an extra coat of primer too.


step three//spray a light coat of your neon paint on pots. let dry half an hour. repeat one more time. after its all dry you peel off the tape and ta da its done! so cute right? and soo easy!


&& lastly you plant some pretty flowers! 

this was probably the easiest thing ever, and now that i have neon paint i want to spray everything and anything with it. haha. its my new fave! if you do this d.i.y let me know. i would love to see what designs you come up with!! 

happy crafting, loves!

talking about love...

i've been thinking about love lately. like, how there are many different forms of love. you can love your spouse, family, friends, an item, a place, hobby, etc. love is one of my favorite things. love is also universal. love is something we all feel in different ways. 


via

i love this quote from emma so much. so true, we all love different things and that is okay. below is a few things that i love: 

my membership in the church//i am a member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. having the church in my life has blessed it in so many ways. i am so grateful for my knowledge of the gospel. 

daniel//i love that guy so much, it's not even funny. i am so glad we get to spend an eternity together. 

my parents//i am a child of divorced parents. it happened when i was a little so i don't really remember it any other way. both my parents are re-married and i am blessed to have 4 parents who have taught me to be the type of person i want to be. 

friends//growing up i always had more than one best friend, i have many friends. i believe in surrounding yourself with good people who help you be better. i love each and every one of my friends that i have made through out my life. i love my friends all equally. so, thank you to my friends for being the best! i love you. 

blogging//it may seem rather silly to say i love blogging. but, i do. blogging has really helped me be less shy and really open up. i have also grown a lot as a person through this blog. it has also introduced me into so many wonderful friends. {see above}

maxi skirts//okay, this is one time i truly love. i mean you can't go wrong with a maxi

myself//this is something that isn't always true but, is something i strive to love everyday. being happy and loving yourself is so important. especially us girls. we are always so hard on ourselves, that it's good for us to work on this every single day. 

books//i love loosing myself in a good book. there is something magical about reading. i love transforming myself into a different time, place or situation. i love reading so much. 

chapstick//i cannot live without it. faves include-burts bees and baby lips.

family//i have a large family. that happens when you have 4 parents but, i wouldn't trade it any other way. i love it. some of my best friends of my cousins from my dads side. i love families and love that we can be together forever

green smoothies//this is something that is a new found love. i drink one everyday {when we have groceries. haha} so yummy and healthy! 

children//children is something i have always loved. i love when a child smiles at me or when they give me a hug. i work with little children on sunday at church. it is hard but, i really do love it. it's so fun watching them learn and grow. 

see i told you can love anything. trust me i could list more but, i'd rather not make this nove....haha. some of serious and some are silly but, i love them all. so, if you were to write a list of a few things you love. what would you add?
