Happy Monday everyone!!! In the last week we have a lot of new readers, so I will try to catch everyone up to speed. There are a few names and terms you might not understand if you’re just joining in (and I’m glad you are!).
First of all, I’m Shanna and my dear hubby’s name is Chris….
Happy Thursday everyone! It’s a dreary, wet day here in Wichita, and today I’m spending it getting my haircut and of course painting.
Do you remember a while back I showed you the ruffled lamp shade I did? Well, I came across another naked lamp, and I decided to give this baby a facelift!
You know how I’ve been telling you how I’ve been making myself go back to the gym? Well, yesterday I found out how dangerous going to the gym can be.
My child that wishes to remain anonymous and I were working out, and there was a girl in her early twenties working out right around us. She was wearing a baggy t-shirt, shorts, and her hair was pulled up.
After a few minutes a cute guy in his early twenties came and started working out close to where we were. The girl suddenly left.
Five minutes later, she was back but her hair was pulled down, she had lip gloss on, smelled heavily of perfume, and her t-shirt was tied up so that her midriff was exposed.
I tried not to smile as I saw her trying to make eye contact with him. She kept walking by him very slowly and even stopped right in front of him to tie her shoe.

I’ve got some sad news guys … I did not win the $6 million lottery Sunday. I know, I know. I really thought I was going to win too. I had big plans for that money. I was going to start an animal shelter. I was going to buy the unnamed child a car. I was going to pay off the house.
Who are we kidding, I was going to buy five houses — including one for my mom as a late Mother’s Day present (because that’s the kind of daughter I am).
Since I couldn’t buy her a house, I thought I would show you what I did get her for Mother’s Day.

Have you heard it said before that someone has an “addictive personality” — such as smoking, gambling, etc., where their personality or physical make-up, makes them more easily predisposed to fall prey to an addiction?
Well, my friends, I am one of those people. I have admitted to you in the past about my fondness for addiction to Pinterest.
Sadly, that is not my only vice.
I also seem to be drawn, like a moth to a flame, to anything glitzy or sparkly — which leads us to what Topher calls: my chandelier addiction.
I’m not afraid to admit it folks. My name is Shanna and I am a chandelieraholic.

I’m so excited to share my vintage grey dresser makeover with you! But first, let me tell you a bit about my day.
It started with a heated discussion with the unnamed child. She wanted to wear a pair of shorts to school that she had worn last summer. The only problem was that she had grown, and the shorts had not. Yes, I did understand that they went perfectly with her shirt. But they were just a little too hoochy, and she just didn’t see that.
After 20 minutes of “discussing” she finally changed, and I got to hear lots of stomping around … and the car door happened to shut just a little too loudly when I dropped her off (probably just the wind).
We have had battles over her wardrobe since she was three years old. I remember her getting ready for kindergarten one day, and she had these wooden clogs that she was obsessed with. She had to wear them to school, and we fought and fought over them, and I kept telling her they weren’t appropriate for school. In the end, I had to go to work and she won out.
