Inspired.

The other day I was on pinterest and I saw this cute polkadot shirt with these mint green pants! I loved the look so much I started looking for a tan polkadot sweater (or something like it) to go with my mint pants! Unfortunately I couldn't find one. Then I remembered this fun DIY project I saw on the blog Pretty Life Anonymous (check it out here) So, here was my inspiration for my latest crafting project!






 I can't believe I forgot about this tan button up shirt I bought at Target a few years ago. It's just been sitting in my closet waiting to be put to good use! I had a bottle of white paint although gold dots would have also been a fabulous choice! The round sponge was in the stencil isle at Hobby Lobby and came in a pack of 3 for 2 bucks! I put cardboard in between the shirt so the paint wouldn't leak through (and cause unwanted dots on the back)! 






Not too shabby! Can't wait to try it in a few different outfits! 

Thailand

In December 2012 we spent two and a half weeks back packing through Thailand! Tyler had lived in Thailand for two years prior as an LDS missionary so he spoke the language and knew all the spots we couldn't miss! We flew out from SLC, UT!



26 hours later we finally arrived in Bangkok!


We slept on Sleeper trains....


And woke up feeling like this....




...we made Thai food!




...rode bikes around some ancient ruins....


...rode more sleeper trains as we made our way north...



...fed some monkeys....


Tyler got bit in the face by a monkey.... (See that devil on his shoulder?)


...got some loves from an Elephant....


...took the scariest ride of my life... (those scooters in thailand are terrifying!)


...watched this man try to get eaten by a crocodile...



...had a fish massage... (so weird!)


...rode elephants...


...took a bamboo river raft...




... hung out with some monks...

... and had AN AMAZING and UNFORGETTABLE experience as we traveled through that beautiful country! I am already counting down for when we get to go back!
