Other people's goodies!

ok-so I have a client that we are going to decorate tomorrow.

We are doing her living room, kitchen and family room.

I am super excited to decorate her home.

We have found some really fun stuff-most of which I have found at thrift stores!

Rock on!

So-I thought that I would share a couple of fun things that I created and that I so want to keep for myself!

I hate it when that happens!

It happens quite a bit actually.

Thats a good thing-right?

So-what do you think?

Isn't it the cutest star? Just used a regular old barn star, paper, the freaking cutest ribbon ever and some ink! Love how it turned out! I so want to keep it!

I got this cute little lantern for $3.00-painted it a new color-HONEY (which I love)

and modge podged some paper on the sides.

I did not intentially want to use paper-but when I sprayed I forgot that the top was open!

DUH!

So-I got paint all over the inside of the glass.

I so didn't want to scrape the inside with a razor blade-so I did this.

Happy mistake.

I actually really like how it turned out.

Finally-I love this new plant that we discovered!

Is not the cute little red things on it the best!

If I needed another plant-I so would have kept it.

I first need to kill one of my other ones.

I am actually pretty close to that goal.

Not that I tried-I swear-it just happened!

I suck at plants-unless it's a philendron (not sure on the spelling)

Can't kill those-believe me, I have tried!

Ok-tomorrow I will post before and after pics!

Hopefully they are as great as I am hoping!

ps-Hope that this all makes sense-I am super tired-so forgive any more grammatical errors than normal!

Is it werd?

So-is it weird that I have too many pillows?

No-not on the couches or loveseats-on my bed.

I know that most of you have about 5 or maybe 6-

well if you haven't figured it out-

I am so not normal!

I have accepted and embraced this concept!

Anyway-I have 17 pillows!

I was making my bed today thinking, this is taking me a really long time!

I counted all the pillows-you know just so I could know.

I was a little shocked!

I love pillows, and I love to make my bed all cute.

I agree though-17 is a little much!

I need to get rid of some, but I love them all!

Ok-maybe not love-but I really like them all.

I just accumulated the cute red gingham shams the other day.

They were free and I love them, so I had to have them

Heck Tausha, would it be so bad to not use something?

Just save in case you ever need it-

Yea,cause that would be better!

It's alright, you can tell me I'm a freak!

I know that you are just saying it out of love!

See this ugly white cupboard!

Stay tuned to see what I did to it!

(this will give me a little incentive to hang it on the wall)

(sorry about the huge spaces-blogger wont let me do anything else! Stupid blogger!

Overheard

I know that I shouldn't laugh, but this was too funny not too share.
You know how when some people tell you stories about their kids, are they are not really that funny?
Maybe this story will be like that.
If it is, it's your own fault that you don't think my kids are funny!

We were eating dinner and 6 had just got done slurping up her soup with her straw.
(what a great idea huh-they always drink every bit)
It was her turn to tell us about her day.
You know how kids don't leave out any details.
6 is espescially good at this.
So-she told what her teacher wore today and what she and her friends played at recess.
You know, only the really important stuff.
She said, with a straight face-cause to her it wasn't funny, only to her mean mom!
Mom-I am quittin the monkey bars!
They are just too painful. I don't want to quit, but I think it would be good if I did.
(she really said these words-so not kidding)

I almost spit my milk out!
Hubby and I were cracking up!
He said to me-Honey I'm gonna quit the swings!
I replied with, I gotta quit the slide.
Too painful!
then we laughed out loud!
I know, we win the award for the most terrible parents ever.
It's ok, I have accepted it and moved on!

Mr Bones!

So, I finally put up the fall stuff.

It was chilly and rainy yesterday so it was perfect for decorating and cooking.

I quickly made some taco soup-(that 2 of my 3 children did not eat )

& then went downstairs for the halloween crap!

I have so much decor that I have to store it under the stairs. I know that I am not the only one who does this.

I couldn't put anything out that was remotely spooky-except for this.

I couldn't help myself.

I stopped at the dollar store for a second and I saw these bags of bones.

the skulls were in a pkg.

the arm bones were in a seprate bag. At least I think that they are arm bones.

I thought that my kids would love this.

I was right, and my husband got a kick out of it as well.

I love thes glass jars-this one was a $1 at goodwill.

I wanted to put candy in it-but my children would have ate it all. (and mom too-at least I tell the truth)

So-bones it was.

I also shoved my cute cloth pumpkins in this basket with some leaves.

I can say they are cute cause I didn't make them.

My very talented MIL did.

I love them cause they can stay up till the christmas trees come out!

I am hoping that little MIL plug will entice her to give me the chicken runner! :)

I also found this little cheese dome for $1.00-and the little gourds in it-they were at the dollar store as well.

I so scored at Dollar Tree yesterday!

I havn't been there in forever-maybe I should go more often?

Probably better if I stay away!
