Been Busy

We baked on Friday night....Halloween cookies...look @ Mandy she had such a good time!

Sunday - we started tackling some MUCH needed projects at home --

(hubby wasn't to pleased to spend his Sunday doing this)

But we sure tackled projects that were on the waiting list

SORRRRRYYYY NO BEFORE PICS:

First of, this table we had and it was white - some spray paint and it fits in our living room...don't know if I'll keep it in there but I'll see how I feel about it in 2 weeks or so....kind of have to live with it and see if it fits...

Next up, my entryway/foyer whatever you would like to call it, it's basically a HALLWAY to me...I would love to call it a foyer but it's not boxy so it's perhaps the longest foyer out there...lol

Any hoot, I've must have done so many different things to this hallway but nothing seemed to fit. So finally I decided that I should have a functional "entryway" in comes a bench (which still needs it cushion) that's soon to come. I got my baskets in HomeGoods, (LOVE that store) then some garage sale frames, spray painted...with some shelves. I am still NOT done with this 'art wall', if you will, I am missing a few pieces but this is the beginning...just thought I'd share.

This is what guest will see when entering:

And this is the view coming in from the backyard:

I really want a gorgeous bombe chest right HERE but *insert* a curbside table, redone by yours truly with a can of spray paint. I may put a basket underneath and perhaps hit up Home Goods for some out-of-this world accessories...it'll do until I get my bombe chest!!!!

And that's all folks. I hope you've enjoyed the results of my hard work - eh hem...spray paint can really ruin a good manicure!!!!!

TOODLES!!!!!!

Baking Friday!!

Today the girls and I are baking....chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies & peanut butter kisses!!!!

Sugar cookies are not pictured here!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

LOST

Okay so I've been lost, haven't posted. My computer is so messed up that I have been using my hubby's laptop instead because I don't have the patience to wait for my computer to boot up!!!!! Uugggh it's so annoying!!!!!

So today my big girl - BOOM BOOM is going to her 1st dance. Okay it's more like a hangout in the school, instead of hanging out in the streets, COOL HUH? for her! Since she is in 5th grade she needs a chaperone, well of course i wouldnt have it any other way! So I'm going, I'm sure cuz Hubby was like NOPE not ME!!! He is instead going with Mandy to a fire prevention fair. I think that's unfair he's gonna b crafting and all that, and I have to stare and follow 5 -10 girls as they 'hang out'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Secretly I will be crying inside cuz my 10 year old is hanging out!!!!!

17 years...

17 years ago I met this funny guy,

he was sweet but sooooo immature

He swept me off my feet

and I married him!!!

Now, 17 years later {from when we started dating}

we are still together

and very much in love

Happy Anniversary my love

Decade of Happiness

My little boom boom turned 10 this year!!!! It's been a decade of Happiness, Love and Laughter. She changed my life 10 years ago and made it BETTER! She made me work hard and want better things, she helps me see things in a different way, she makes me a BETTER person. Thank you my sweet, loving daugther. I love you. Wishing you a lifetime of special birthdays!!!!!
