We have been in our first home for two years. For one of those two years our backyard wasn't really that bad. It wasn't what I wanted but it was okay. There was a nice patch of grass (Yucky grass but grass none the less), there were several bushes with pretty flowers and overall it looked … [Read more...]
Kidding...that's not his real name. :) He doesn't really have a name actually, we're just calling him Mr. Turtle. We're not very creative with names. Haha Anywho, I found Mr. Turtle a month or so ago at GW and managed to see the cuteness in him and had to bring him home. He stayed lonley in the … [Read more...]
Hi! Hi! So, the other day I told you all about my first visit to an Antiques store and how I brought something home with me. Carole and Sheila, thanks for the guesses but they were both incorrect.

It wasn't much of a problem until Buddy came along. Since his addition to our home the biggest problem was letting them in an out of the house. … [Read more...]
I know I promised a stencil update a week ago but not much has really happened. You see, I didn't want to go spending $50 on a wall stencil since I have a Cricut I hoped to cut my own, but that didn't work out too well. Then I went to Hobby Lobby and found a few that looked okay. After testing them … [Read more...]
Hello! Hello! I've mentioned in the past that I have horrible sleep habits and I've really been struggling with it lately. Today is a good day so far though. I woke up when I planned to and got stuff done. I am still working on my living room and just thinking of all the work that still needs to … [Read more...]
Hello there!!! It's been a while it seems. I've been lazy busy and haven't had time to post new updates. I've actually been doing some "Me" work lately.

Correction: I AM in love. :) The green is finally on and I am SOOO happy I didn't keep it white. The shade I chose is Valspar Lime Sorbet. I love how the light bounces off the walls o nicely, it really brightens up my living room. I just walk in and immediately feel energized and motivated. I love … [Read more...]
