Introducing Nicole & Elizabeth

Elizabeth {aka Eli - as in Ellie} and I are very dear friends and former college roommates who love the simple things in life.  Nothing makes us happier than a long girl talk, travel plans, crafty projects, and cooking something tasty!  If you can combine any of these things, we're very happy girls. 

Eli and I met a few years ago through her boyfriend, Sam, and attended the same University.  Eli has a degree in Marketing.  My husband, Michael, Sam, and I all have our degrees in International Affairs.  After taking a few courses together, Sam and Michael came to the realization that both couples needed roommates - desperately.

Although we liked Sam, we were only school acquaintances.  Signing a lease with anyone is a risk as roommate situations can go sour - fast.  We decided to meet up at a cafe to get to know each other.  This was the first time Eli and I had really met, and to say we hit it off would be an understatement!  What started as a short breakfast meeting ended four hours later during lunch.  We decided to go ahead and sign a lease after that meeting.

God clearly had plans for us because friendships like this are one in a million.  I would have been content with a fairly decent roommate.  To our surprise, we've formed a lifelong friendship.  And after planning many pot lucks, parties, showers, weddings, photo shoots, and get-togethers, we realized that we both have a knack for all things crafty, creative, and lovely.  We're both avid blog readers and are fond anything DIY.  Of all the things we love, what absolutely thrills us, is taking something ordinary and making it adorable

It only made sense for us to create our own blog comprised of all our ideas and experiments.  We hope everyone will join with us in our addiction to friendship, celebrations, and life!

With love,
N & E
