After looking at a few bottles, I was immediately attracted to this one. I mean how perfect are these lyrics?

Work hard, play hard.
This is pretty much my life motto.

It really means so much to me. No matter what stage in life you're in, it's important to keep this in mind.

When I think of "Work hard, play hard" this is one of the first picture that comes to mind.

College. Am I right?

Daniel and I both worked really hard in college and both graduated with honors! It wasn't easy and on top of that, we got married right in the middle of it all! But looking back, those were such fun times! After school was just as fun too. I went on to land an amazing job with an amazing company and Daniel went on to Duke and the #1 PA School in the country!

Which brings us to our most recent "work hard, play hard" memory.

The last few years at Duke have been tough for both me and Daniel in different ways. But we never forgot our motto and made time to play just as hard! From watching our Blue Devils take the National Championship in Basketball to traveling to 5 different countries.

Having fun is a priority in our lives. Whether its traveling to a new place or just staying in, playing Mario and eating (drinking?) slushies!

I love this quote so much that I decided to turn it into a craft project. So who is ready for a little DIY?

I love making fun little crafts. But I'm all about the simple and easy to complete projects. The first thing I thought of when I saw the new Coca-Cola bottles was that those lyrics belong on a print or cross stitch (or both!)

If you have the skill (and patience) to make a fancy cross stitch then go for it! As for me, I like DIYs that I can actually complete in a short time.

What you'll need:
1 Hoop/frame
A piece of white fabric or cloth
Colorful thread
A needle

Don't forget a bottle of Coke with lyrics for inspiration! Target for the win! You can find them in the drink isle.

Once you have your inspiration, you're ready to start! I like to draw out my design first. I wrote out the lyrics and just added a simple leaf border.
