Say cheese
Photographer and craft-aholic, Parul Arora, sells beautiful Polaroid picture ceramic coasters through her Etsy shop justnoey for about $12 each. I love the look of these on a table top - and talk about a great conversation starter!

Leftovers
Holiday parties, holiday drinking. Hand in hand. I can’t give you the cure for a hangover, but I can give you some tips on how to make use of those leftover bottles.
Get creative and paint them! Look how beautiful these came out! You can also be daring and tape up the bottles before painting to make some edgy designs. Then put some flowers in them and - voila!

She's gone country
I may make all my bridesmaids wear cowgirl boots. I can think of a few who would absolutely hate me for doing this to them. I suppose I need a groom first - minor detail.

Crafty photos
A cute idea, especially with the Polaroid look. Another version of this could be done with mini clothespins and Instagram print outs.

Singapore
As promised, here are some photos of Singapore.
What a busy, crowded, clean and wonderful place! Some highlights from my time spent here: the zoo (vibrant and well kept), riding my first ferris wheel, China town, admiring the architecture, trying the new foods (kaya toast and kopi are a must try), and the botanical gardens (bring some food, its a lovely place for a picnic).
