A little touch of Fall...

So it is almost Thanksgiving.... I can hardly believe it.... I have been going through more boxes. Trying to finally unpack and move back in... So it has only taken me like 5 months... What's the big deal, right? Slow and steady wins the race... I have been trying to tackle as many projects as possible before all the FOUR LETTER WORD hits.... You know...snow... SHHHHH! Don' say it out load... So as I was saying... I have been going through some boxes and came across some fun autumn things that I wanted to display....

The table runner I got at Kohl's for like $8-10. I love it... The hurricane I got at Walmart like forever ago... Try 4 years... It was actually and amber color... It was dusty and as I was washing it off and the color started to come off... FINE.BY.ME. I wanted it to be clear anyways...

I made the stacking blocks last year for a craft fair I was in back in Michigan... which just so happens to be this weekend...... I love the colors of them... So warm.. Makes me want to wrap up in a warm sweater and go jump into a leaf pile... LOL Anyways, I got the pumpkins at Robert's Crafts (with a coupon of course)... They were orange but I just took off the stems and spray painted them Rustolium Heirloom White and put the stems back on... I think they are adorable...

I hope everyone is having a wonderful autumn... Enjoy it before the you know what comes... Until next time... :O)

Master Bedroom touches...

So I finished the painting of our bedroom a few weeks ago (well, actually a month ago...But who is counting?) I ordered two new quilts for the bed at Overstock.com at amazing prizes... I love that site... They arrived and I love them. I also have been collecting items from garage sales, DI, and Savers... Take a look.... The berry wreath I got a garage sale for .50 cents... The stand was $1 at DI...

This dish was the priciest.... I got it at Savers for $6. I loved it and thought it would work great to hold some of my jewelry that I wear everyday... I love the details in it and the sparkle of the jewels.....

They look nice sitting on my dresser..

Now I just need to put a mirror over my dresser... I have one but it needs some attending to before I can hang it... Sorry, you will just have to wait a bit more on that one....

See that wall really needs something.... It's going to be great when I get it done... :O)

I finished the bed skirt that my bestie was helping me with... I love the material...

It has the blue/grey from the wall color and the touch of red that I needed... Can you see my new quilt?

Here is a view of the foot board for our bed... I painted the bed white... I LOVE IT!!!

I know the pillows need some work... I will be getting to that soon I hope... Priorities, priorities.... But doesn't the headboard look great with the wall?

This red quilt my mother made for me and I knew I wanted it in this room... It gives just the pop of color I wanted in here... I am really loving how the room is coming together... I feel so at peace when I enter my bedroom now...

Stay tuned in for some more projects I have been working on... And a super find I got a few days ago.... LOVE IT!!! Until then, have a great week...

My how time flies!!!

It seems like just yesterday this precious little girl was turning 1... She is the sweetest thing... Always a smile on her face... Even with frosting all over it... I think this is when she decided she likes frosting more than the cake... This is her first Birthday...

And now... She turned 5!!!

She loves to dress up... Loves her hair to be curly, but not to sit and wait for me to put the curlers in.... :O(

She is so much fun... One of her favorites is to sing ALL. DAY. LONG. She even makes up her own words to songs... We are thinking of getting her into singing lessons... We shall see...

Happy Birthday my sweet baby girl!!

We had a little party with just our little family and she picked cheese cake for her birthday cake...

AHHH... Progress...

We had a Princess party for her a week later with her little friends... What fun they had... Everyone was to dress up as a princess...

I baked mini bundt cakes and let the girls decorate their own. They loved that!

They even got their nails painted...

If you look closely you can see my two boys (12 yrs and 8 yrs old)hands... They too got in on the action of nail painting.. I only let them have 2 fingers painted... Did I mention that we put glitter polish on all the girls/boys nail after the colored polish?

What a fun memory... Baby girl you are so worth it... I love you!! Happy Birthday!!




P.S. Her Birthday was actually in October but the hubs took my camera and switched out my
SD disk and put a new one in... I can not for the life of me get any of the pictures on that SD disk to import... AHHH!!! So I had to go looking for my old SD disk and these were some of the pictures that were on it... And lots more of some projects that I have been working on... Until next time... :O)
