If you give a girl some beads, she’s going to want to make a necklace. If she makes a necklace, she’s going to want to wear it. If she wears it, she’s going to want to get dressed up. If she gets dressed up, she’s going to also want to put on makeup. If she’s dressed up, wearing make up and wearing a fancy necklace she made herself, she’s going to want to do a photo shoot. In the middle of the day. If she does a photo shoot, she’s going to act silly and make funny poses. She’ll also make her husband laugh and he’ll do a little flirting. She’ll flirt back and she’ll make him smile. They will have fun.
See how rewarding making a necklace for yourself can be? Head on over to Making It Lovely’s site to get the full DIY tutorial. Psst! It’s easy, inexpensive and you can find the beads at Michael’s. Say what?! Yes, Michael’s.
P.S. I did use this opportunity to make sure this dress still fits and isn’t obscenely short now that I’m quite a bit bigger since the last time I wore it. It does fit! Now I know what I’ll be wearing to my friend’s birthday party this weekend, hooray! So see, I killed multiple birds with one stone 
Happy hump day friends!

I tried to pull the feed off your site. I also tried to just enter your URL into my Google Reader and that wouldn’t work either — it couldn’t find the feed.

Thank you everyone at all the lovely replies and sweet words. Nice for this pregnant momma to hear

I found you through the DIY feature on Making It Lovely. I really like the way you styled this dress. Also, your nail polish is the perfect red, what is it?
Hi Jessica! Thanks for taking the time to come on over and visit. The color is called Geranium by Essie and is great! If you can’t find Geranium, try Fifth Avenue, which is almost identical!
Looks so cute, and I love that red dress with the cutouts–and your belly is so cute in it, too! =)
Looking gorgeous, Howe.
no way. you are stinkin adorable.
I’ve been trying to find the beads for the necklace… Wondering if everyone on pinterest has seen this and has purchased all the beads already! So sad!
