First Post!

I'm Lauren. :) I live in Maryland with my husband, Jeff, and our two dogs, Henry and Alaina. Jeff and I got married in September 2012, and bought our first home in May 2013. Since moving in, I've been on a never ending journey to decorate our home...without spending a fortune. I'm finally starting this blog to document all of my DIY projects, home decor, and other life adventures. The name "Goldens and Glue Guns" comes from my obsession with golden retrievers and doing any sort of DIY/crafty project, hence glue guns. I love all dogs in general, but most anyone who knows me knows that I have a particular obsession with all things golden retriever. We can credit that to my grandmother's dog Goldie, who I loved oh-so-much as a young child. I waited 23 long years, of torture, before getting my own golden retriever, Henry. He and our beagle, Alaina, are completely spoiled and will surely make regular appearances on here. Can't wait to share my projects with you all! Thanks for reading!

Here is a funny pic from Fall 2014. It was a very windy evening and the dogs were going nuts over all the new smells in the park we went to. I was unsure how the pictures would turn out, but needless to say we got a few great ones. Couldn't resist using this one for our Christmas card last year. :)
