I don't get it.

Caught up on my DVR shows today...the Bachelorette was one of them...

and I watched her solo date with Sasha and from what I understood she let him go because he had never been hurt before in a relationship, or for his lack of experience with relationships. Yeah, she said that was not the real reason but...I just don't get it, it's better to find a husband who hasn't been hurt. The more relationships (or experience) the more he has given his heart to someone else.


On another note, my cousin Alexis is graduating from High School this year and I was trying to find something to give to her for graduation. And me being the monogram OBSESSED person that I am..I have ventured out in search of the perfect monogrammed gift for her. She said her favorite colors are blue and green.

I first got her this wooden letter at Target for her to put on her bedroom door when she goes to college!

It looks like this one but it has pink polka dots on it.

The next thing I found was this cute bath wrap from etsy.
But since money does not grow on trees I have nothing to do I decided to make one for her on my own. I spent probably 45 minutes in Walmart walking back and forth between the towel and craft aisles. Finding a ribbon that included her favorite colors and then finding a towel in the right corresponding shade was craaaazy. But, I found it (with some help from the ladies that work at Walmart--I had to ask their opinions to help me narrow it down!!) Anyway, I picked a pink, blue and brown striped ribbon using a brown towel. I don't have any pictures to upload of it yet because it is still in the beginning stages!
My second thing to do is figure out the best way to add her monogram. I am sewing the wrap by hand and there is NO WAY I can hand stitch a monogram. So I have been playing with the idea of maybe getting iron on letters, but I think that might make it look tacky. I may have to spend some more time on that one!
