Its missing something.....

I like the idea I had in my mind, but when i did it totally didn't turn out the way i was seeing it. Any suggestions? My Christmas corner is a disaster.

Yarn Ball Wreath

Wish i would have taken pictures as i was making this, but it was a lot of fun. First get a wire hanger and make it circular as possible. Plug in glue gun. so i picked three colors of yarn and make them into ball all different sizes and start gluing around the hanger. I added some accessories to mine, but you don't have to. got an old necklace i never wore and used that for hanging, but you can use ribbon.  Hope you try this one out it is super easy and fun.

Sorry the pictures is poorly taken i used my phone camera.

I'm Back :-D

My computer is finally up and running and I am just so excited. I can't wait to get all my readers caught up. Check back for updates with in the next week.

8 years old/Pumpkin Carving

Kayden my little man not so little anymore. I took Kayden to a spot i liked and took his 8 yr pictures. We had lots of fun doing this, and enjoyed every min of it. As some of you know Kayden has decided that he wants to get baptized so we have it all arranged for him and as each day goes by I get more and more excited.

 Kayden was a Scary Zombie for Halloween. Got lots of candy that will last for a year or more,more then we need that is for sure. 

My hubbies birthday was Sunday 30th so when Kayden got home from Grandma's 

we spent it carving pumpkins, and going to my aunt and uncles for dinner. Love Honey you are amazing and I love you oh so much.

 Yes I agree it is disgusting, but oh how it feels gushing through your fingers.

 All done.

 My creepy house.

 We had such a fun time. :D

Halloween

Halloween is getting closer and honestly i don't like the trick-or-treating part, but when it comes to putting up all my Halloween decorations, that is my favorite. Last year we couldn't put up our grave yard 1 because the dog thought the skeleton was a real bone and thought he could chew on them all he wants, and 2nd the ground was so dry and hard it was really hard to get the tombs to stay in the ground. Well this year with all the rain we have been getting that make it easy to get them to stay, and we fixed the fence so Memphis stays in the backyard. 
 Instead of having Halloween decor all over the house, i have decided to have it in one location and i honestly think i like it this way much better, and every year i will add to it. :D

Corner

My phone is really being dumb so i cant show you the before picture, but as some of you know i am always complaining about how i don't have enough shelf space for pictures, floral, etc... well i remembered i had an iron rod shelf upstairs in the spare bedroom and after spray painting the coffee table i totally had a light bulb and i knew i had some paint left over so i carried it out side, and started painting, and i love the way it turned out. Before it was just an ugly cream and light green color, and now it is a dark brown, and really looks nice. Totally in love with it. :D

Project Crazy

Before

After

After

Before

I went project bonko I hated my door, and I hated how i did my coffee table the first time, so we went to Home Depot got some door paint, and polycyclic spray can for the table.
First i will say the door paint freaking stinks sooooo bad. It is strong good thing doors can come of hinges or our house will still smell. Anyway I went with black because this way when i have a wreath or some sort of door decor it will match with any color + if i went vibrant colors then it will really make it pop. :D
2nd recently I did my coffee table, and i liked it for awhile, till i really got tired of it, and noticed so many mistakes that i had made i just had to fix it. Chris and I put our heads together, and came up with a much nicer looking one, with better design and so on. + we painted the bottom part of the table a dark walnut and man oh man did that make a difference as well. and spraying the polycyclic paint made it even better, cups, papers ETC didn't stick to it any more. :D has more of a gloss look and WOW i just absolutely love it. Family say i could make money doing this for friends and family which is true, but take lots of patience and the motivation to want to do it. It made the room look so elegant and nice not like some slap on job and call it good type of thing like before.
I also have a few other projects I am working on and will post them soon after this one. I hope you gets lots of ideas/inspiration from seeing what kind of ideas i come up with and make. :D

8 Years Old

Not only is he 8, he is almost taller than me. :-/ I can't believe how fast time has gone. As some of you know Kayden isn't my biological son, I have been in his life for 6 years, but our relationship just grows and grows. He saved me and I love this kid so much. Happy Birthday dude your Dad and I love you.

Wreath

Loved this project, berry vine, hot glue gun, and strips of fabric. :D and put it together. looks cute right?

Table Project #2

Totally in love with this one, makes me wish i did the other table this color. :D Excited I am getting one step closer to doing the kitchen cabinets. YAY.

Mod Podge Project.

I have been wanting to do this for months, only i wanted to do this to my kitchen cabinets, and well of course my husband thinks i'm crazy and said before i do anything crazy i could do the table first to see how it looks/turns out.

After
I think it turned out great. I love it, now i hope my husband will let me do the cabinets. :D

Kayden

Chris and I have got the best son ever. He is getting so big and litteraly is up to my chin already Hes in second grade and almost 5'2".

School started and we are going on our 3rd week of school, and he just loving it so much more then 1st grade. I think we got a teacher that works a pace he is good with. He likes his teacher a lot. I have not once had to fight to get him to school. He is such a great kid, and think this is going to be a great year. Love you Kayden so much. XOXOXO

Busy Busy Bee

August is always a busy year always more than one wedding, anniversary's, birthdays, and well Lots of doctor appointments.
If you didn't know Chris and I have been trying for a baby for 3 years now, and 3 years to long. So i have been making appointments with my OB to see why i have not gotten preggers, turns out CYSTS are my problem, but hopefully with a little love and tender care we soon can have another little one in the family.

I have had lots of pain in my stomach and totally does not feel good, when those cysts burst it hurts like no other, and if you have had them before then you know exactly how i feel. I hope to have some posts coming up soon, so i hope everyone has had a happy last couple if months.

Worcestershire Steak.

Tonight's dinner is Steak and Zucchini. I bought sirloin steak that's what was for sale at my store and i used a marinade that read Worcestershire steak sauce and i then added a little garlic salt and pepper and poured it into a Ziploc shake it to coat all the meat and set it aside to marinate.
I then started worked on slicing my zucchini into fry strips.

Preheat oven to 450
cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick
bread crumbs
Parmesan grated
1 egg
I dont use measurments so you kinda have to eyeball it. If you like parmesean then add a lot of that and vise versa with the bread crumbs coat zucchini in egg then coat it in the bread/Parmesan batter place on cookie sheet and cook for 20 to 25 min or until golden brown.


Mean while back to the steak heat your pan lay the steak in and pour some juices on top of the steak, cook steak to your desire me 4 min on each side.

So yummy.
You could do a salad and garlic bread if you wanted.
To add more flavor or make it more of a romantic
setting. Hope you enjoy. :D

Friends in need of a Home.

*They found homes Thanks for everyone's Help*
A friends sister is losing their home here in Utah, and has two very cute dogs they can't take with them, and would really like to find a good home rather then take them to the pound. they have till Friday 8/19 to find a home If you or someone you know would want a cute dog let me know. ( Need to go to separate homes work better individually) *great with kids* I would take them, but i can't afford food for 3 dogs & i don't know how well my dog would like that.

Hitt is 6 1/2 years old works best individually great with kids. Murphy is 1 yr 10 months old. Works better individually gets along with kids.
