Around the house

Randomness from around the house recently.
Made this little photo collage on our stairwall, just used frames and pictures I already had and this will sound totally "braggy," but I kinda think I did awesome, and everytime I pass it, I smile.
My pillows, love My talented mom made the yellow bird one with left over fabric from my sister's wedding
More pillows, love the envelope pillow, isn't it awesome??

perfect choc chip recipe
