{aloha}

Hawaii was absolutely beautiful. I took this picture on our last day. I went to the beach and sat and watched the sun come up. So peaceful, so relaxing.


My mom and myself at one of the scenic outlook spots. Pretty, huh?
Guess who we met in the airport? Yes, that's Rob Schneider ("You can do it! All night long!"). He was so nice and was in Maui doing a comedy show at a hotel down the road. So cool.
My dad was so jealous that we met him. Hmm, maybe if he had gone to get the luggage instead of sending the girls to do it, then he could have met him too. Am I right?

{How to Make a Fall Wreath}

I've been scoping out all the pretty fall wreaths out there in blogger land. Let me tell you, I've been SO impressed! So I decided that since my front door was barren, it needed some warming up with a fall wreath.

Enter, the cast of characters....a grapevine wreath (these come in a variety of sizes), silk flowers in your favorite colors.

Tools: Pliers with a wire cutting blade and scissors. However, I used my trauma shears from work because they're super sharm and can cut through almost anything!

You'll also need a hot glue gun and a few glue sticks.
Cut the flowers and leaves from the stems and place them on the wreath in your desired form.


Glue the flowers down once you've got them arranged the way you like.
Grab your favorite wreath hanger and voila! A pretty fall wreath for your door!
