My fantastic family went away for the weekend.
What did I do you wonder.
Did I do the laundry?
Did I clean the dirty bathrooms?
Did I mop the sticky floor?
You so no I didn't.
I did all of these fun things instead. So-I loved this cute paper-orange with cute witch shoes/plaid on the other side. I had to do something with it. Something that I could see all the time. Cause I need more Halloween crap! Why did I make three plates? Well, the big one is mine, and the two small ones are gifts. The best part about this little craft-it was FREE! Just goes to show it pays to hoards craft supplies!
This is my witching hour clock. I didn't have to redo the numbers-they were already spooky/orangey looking! Sweet!
I don't know if I love it, there is just something about it that bugs me. What do you think?

So-my kids bring home so much crap every single day. Between their papers and the mail-Mom has got paper overload! I have been meaning to do this for a while now-just never got around to it. I told myself I would get it done this weekend if it killed me! I picked up the clipboards at the di-$1.00 each. I did have 3-not too sure where the other one is. Dang-guess I'll have to go thrifting again!

See that cute little yellow thing? What is it you ask? An old mailbox! This was a $1.00 too! It was white with tape marks all over it (guess you can't ask for too much-it was only a buck) I couldn't get the sticky stuff off. So-I covered it with paper. It did say MAIL-right there on the bottom-but I didn't like the looks of it when I sprayed it. So-I covered it! Now the bills have a pretty place to live.

Now-everything how has a place. This should mean that my kitchen should never be dirty again!

Guess I'll clean tomorrow. Unless of course the cleaning fairy comes tonight. Keep dreaming Taush-keep dreaming!

What makes a girl giggle?

Ok-so I want to know, what makes you giggle? Or a laugh out loud belly laugh.

You all know what moments I am talking about.

The kinds that just get you when you least expect it.

I thought that I would share what makes this girl giggle.

I am sure that you are all dying to know.

On the edge of your seats right?

Who blogs about this anyway?

Well people-I have got nothing-nothing else to say.

I know that this is shocking to most of you, but it does happen occassionally.

So-what makes me giggle?

You know that commercial for master card?

The one where there is 3 little boys with their new backpacks, you know the one.

The one where they dance.

You know, the one where the one little boy starts to dance and the other little boys follow.

they talk about being with people who understand the real you-priceless.

I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL!

it makes me laugh out loud every single time I see it.

I giggle when I think about the time when one my little girls was saying prayers-she still needed a little help-

So.. I whisper to her-Please bless us-

She repeats-Please Bless Texas.

I tried really hard not to giggle.

You know when you are trying to supress a laugh when you shouldn't be laughing.

I was doing that.

She didn't think it was as funny as I did.

Or how about when 4 walks around singing the latest music-

"Apple Bottom Jeans-boots with the furrr.....

She doesn't know any other words-just that sentance.

When she sings it-she shakes her little hips and bum.

She thinks she is all that and a CASE of CHIPS-not just a bag.

I giggle every time she sings that song. (it is often)

I also giggle when I know that I can't watch American Idol without calling my sister so I have someone to make fun of the contestants with.

I am so not kidding about this.

I love when they try out-I call her a LOT when this is going on.

We are terrible!

but, when i think about it-I giggle!

(I would so make fun of these people. Not all the pretty people in the first pic-just the one with the hair. You know the one I am talking about-you would do it too.)

I can't really think about anything else that makes me giggle.

just the standard things, that I didn't list.

Getting a wingin deal for clothes, or better yet, when I get a deal on

other peoples crap that I MUST have when I am thrifting.

OK-go on and tell me what makes you giggle. Or who makes you giggle.

PS the new guy-the red headed surgeon that is a guest on a GREYS tonight. He is a babe. Maybe I only think that because he is tough and new-but either way, I am kind of liking the red headed man.

YEP- my hubby is sitting next to me and rolling his eyes. (his trademark reaction to almost all things that I do)

Oh well!

Before and Afters

Here are the before and afters of our cute client's house. I really like how it turned out. She liked it as well. It was a mAJOR change, so it was a lot to take in.

We did some major changes-as you can see-the kitchen table is in a totally different room. We made the usable space in her family room way bigger. Now she has seating for her whole family at the same time. YEA!

We really enjoyed working with our client on this home. We still get to work with her in about 3 weeks, and do her daughters bedrooms.

Some people asked me what I do-so here is the gist of it. For those of ou who already know-sorry this is a repeat and it's boring for you. Hope that you will forgive me and still love me!

We love what we do. It is not a JOB is the whole sense of the word. It really is too fun to go and buy fun stuff and then completely change a clients home.

Our goal is for the home to still be "THEM" just a little cozier and homier. (is that a word?)

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!
