oh my cuteness

i took a stroll through michaels the other night ALONE and i can't even describe how wonderful that was. we had a rough time over dinner with liam and i just needed a moment to get away from my dear children and clear my head...while shopping. i was able to browse through the entire store {three times} and really get everything i needed without my little ankle biters rushing me and following me around. 

i got materials for a few projects that you'll probably be seeing sometime this week. but i wanted to share my most favoritest cute little finds from that evening. 

these super cute little sugar and cream containers. i love, love, love them. and they were only $1 each! i especially love how the cream container is shaped like a milk carton. and i'm sure these will get plenty of mileage because i often have friends over for coffee. i'm thinking of going back and getting a few more sets to save and give as gifts. they are just adorable. 

i hope everyone had a great weekend. me, not so much. i pulled a muscle in my back the other day and the pain in still lingering. i went to see the chiropractor, which helped a lot, but i'm still feeling the pain when i move certain ways. needless to say, all of our plans were cancelled and we've just been hanging out at home. which is also good because i've been able to get lots of housework done {even though i should be resting!}. it's a vicious cycle.
