Cases Galore

Phones cases and monograms are compatible, almost meant for each other. As many of you can read from my blog, I am majorly obsessed with monograms. But what you didn't know is that I love phone cases and
I am constantly changing my phone case, a total phone case junkie. I recently found Mary Beth Goodwin Designs, a cute boutique selling the most ADORABLE monogrammed phone cases. They look super NYC designer brands and are a timeless case! So head over to her lovely web page, http://www.marybethgoodwindesign.com/ and let me know what you think of her beautiful cases!

These are just a few of my favorites!

Latest Addition to the Monogram Collection

Hello everyone! So lately many people at my school have been carrying water bottles around with them, which is much more environmentally friendly than plastic water bottles. For Christmas I had been looking online for the cute monogrammed Turvis Tumbler water bottles I had seen plastered all over Pinterest for my sister. I couldn't seem to find any with the monogram on the inside of the bottle, it seemed as though they were all hand painted monograms on the outside. Now don't get me wrong, it's super creative, just not very durable for an everyday sort of water bottle. So of course, being the crafty gal I am, I started another monogram project. I first went to Bed Bath and Beyond and purchased the water bottle, it wasn't more than $20 and is real durable! Then I headed over to my favorite website Etsy and found http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissHeatherAnne a cute little shop selling monogram stickers in tons of sizes, colors, and fonts that are made out of indoor/outdoor vinyl, used for bumper stickers (in that case, dishwasher thumbs up!) The monogram was super easy to apply to the water bottle and hasn't peeled at all. So before you spend up to $30 on a hand painted, monogrammed Turvis Tumbler water bottle that could easily chip off, turn your creative juices on, head over to Etsy, and you could save a ton!

These are a few pictures of me and my sisters water bottles.

Favorite Book

I'm a total book worm. I would rather spend all day at the beach reading a great book then go to the movies. I have read TONS of books over the years and not one book has made such an impact on my life like the book Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. This book has been around for about 20 years and has sold over one million copies, which doesn't surprise me at all. This book is such a moving book and shows how enduring and powerful God's love for one couple is. This book brought me to tears... take that back, by the end of the book I was sobbing! After finishing this powerful book I became emotionally attached to it, with all of its tear stained pages and markings. As you can tell in the second picture below, the books resting place is right next to my bed even though I have finished it. I encourage you all to read this book at sometime in your life, you will never feel more-true-to-self and loved after finishing this amazing book. If you have read this book, I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on Redeeming Love. Have a great rest of your day!

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers can be found at your local bookstore.
