House is coming along

Mud room/command center

Kids Living Room I love my photo wall. I am excited to see things finally coming together. Love the candid shots of the kids

I hung the frames right above Jason's favorite

thing in our house.... the magnet board.

Secretly I know Jason loves this, even when

he is complaining about it

4 foot by 3 foot fake canvas

I had this printed at Staples on regular paper

I am wishing that I had it printed on photo paper

Might need to be redone.

Little by little the house is coming together.

I think Jason hates hearing " Can you help me?"

But I love making our house our home.

More pictures to come as I complete more projects.

There is always a huge list of things I want to make/buy.

Not sure that having Hobby Lobby

2 minutes aways is a good thing.

Destri's school dance concert

I have been so bad at updating the blog for awhile now.

I am going to try to be better.

A couple of weeks ago Destri had a

dance concert at school.

It was super fun to watch and I loved

seeing all the dances that she has been practicing

around the house for the last couple of months.

Destri and her soccer buddies after the show

These are the best shots I could get with my phone

(I totally forgot my camera that night)

old window/magnet board

Weekly craft project.

I turned this old window

into a fun magnet board to hang by my garage door

for all those important notes

that I need to remember.

Love how it turned out.

Thanksgiving Blessing Mix

First you take a bag of bugles, add a couple cups of

M & M candies.

Then add candy corn add peanuts and pretzels

Mix together and place

in bags and add a cute tag that

outlines why each of these ingredients is important

to Thanksgiving.

all done

I can't wait to give these to my family.

They will act as placecards on the

Thanksgiving table.

I also made cute coloring placemats

for the kids. (pictures to come)

Jeana's Picture

My sister in law Jeana is getting married.

She saw a cute picture frame she wanted made

from an old window.

I just happen to have this window in my garage.

With a couple coats of paint, it ended up looking like this I talked her into letting me print one of her engagement pictures and I blew it up to a 20x30. It fit perfect. I just love how it turned out. It was a big hit at her bridal shower. I will be making my own for my house now but I can't chose between a family photo or one of just Jason and I. More to follow on this project for sure.

Carving Pumpkins

Destri and Bentley loved carving pumpkins this year.

Final projects glowing

Witchapalooza

This year I was able to go to Witchapalooza at Gardner Village with

a couple of my sister in laws and my mother in law.

It was a fun night out with dinner and

a show. I must do this again next year.

Jen, Jaclyn, Me and Nancy.

I was the only one who didn't dress up.

Every party needs a pooper.
