It is 2017! Happy New Year! I have been absent for way too long from my blog. I got a huge promotion in July and got married to my boyfriend of 5 years in September. We honeymooned immediately following in Germany…needless to say, I have been enjoying the newlywed bliss to its fullest! My blog was neglected & in 2017, that will not be the case!

It is time for new year resolutions. I have a few of my own for sure and #3 is running 5 days a week. I have my first half-marathon coming up in March. What I personally think will keep this resolution at the forefront is to make a bib holder. I have only participated in 3 organized runs, two of which I placed in. I decided to make my own holder and below I am going to show you how to make yours. It requires a piece of wood, stain or paint, nails, hooks, and possibly vinyl decal.

The first thing I did was stain the wood. I purchased my stain to do some Christmas gifts two years ago, but if you need stain here is some: http://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Stencils-Craft-Paints/Mediums-Finishes/Driftwood-Rust-Oleum-Ultimate-Wood-Stain/p/19695 .
