Happy Monday everyone!!! I hope you all had a great weekend! I did some cleaning, worked on a couple of dressers, and I continued my Operation: Get A Life by hosting a fun little birthday party for my mom Sunday night. I could have slaved half of the day away making her a fancy dessert that may or may not have turned out right in the end, but I said screw it and went to Village Inn and bought a yummy pie. The unnamed child and I are halfway through season 4 on Grey's Anatomy. If my life ... VIEW POST
Patriotic Flower Wreath
Birds Nest Chalk Banner Wreath
With all of this cold weather and snow we have been having, I have been craving Spring. Frankly ... I'm over winter. The pups have frustrated looks on their faces from their lack of walks. I am much more likely to get to the gym if I don't have to drive through a foot of snow to get there. I want to be able to go to the grocery store without having to wash the car after each trip. And I really can't wait for the day I can walk down to the mailbox without having to put on my "winter shoes" ... VIEW POST
3-Tiered Flower Wreath
Happy Monday everyone!!! I'm so glad you came by! I have a pretty 3-Tiered Flower Wreath to show you! I hope you all had some fun Super Bowl parties yesterday! I had a massive amount of work left on the big project I have for you tomorrow, and after having no sleep and working every second of the day for two days, I was way too tired to go anywhere. I was working in some Cirque du soleil-ish positions, and my neck and back are so angry. I would have been more than excited to heat up a ... VIEW POST
Vintage Bookpage Heart Wreath
Happy Monday!!! It was a crazy fast and windy weekend here at my house! I know Chicago is supposed to be the "Windy City", but Kansas sure gave them a run for their money last night! Topher and I accomplished quite a bit this weekend, but we worked our tails off. Our dining set is now painted, and I just have to finish distressing it, wax, buff it, and cover the seats with my new fabric. I finished several V-Day crafts that I will be showing you this week, and I have a new Metallic table ... VIEW POST
Valentine’s Day Flower Wreath
It's been a busy week around here. As I mentioned earlier, I am getting ready for a Valentine's Day Home Tour coming up. It's been a flurry here of pink and red glitter, feathers, and hearts. The last wreath I had on my door was my DIY Ornament Wreath. Since the dreaded day came where Topher forced me to take my Christmas decor down (because it was actually January and the neighbors were giving me the "come on already and take down your Christmas crap" look), I knew it was time to find ...

Window Screen Christmas Wreaths
Happy Christmas Eve! It's going to be a fast paced day around here. Picking up pies, last minute cleaning, and some heavy duty praying like crazy that two of Topher's gifts get here at the last minute. Christmas Eve is my favorite day of the year. The sparkling lights of the tree, the wonderful smells of dinner cooking, and my family all singing Christmas carols at mass together. We will be having a Christmas Day brunch for my side of the family, and then on to my hubby's side for ... VIEW POST
DIY Ornament Wreath
We had a busy weekend around here! We had Topher's side of the family's Thanksgiving on Saturday. After that I was back to work on a project. Sunday was spent taking pictures for a couple of this week's posts, cleaning up around here, and working on a couple of other new projects. Somewhere in between, the unnamed child and I watched "People Like Us". It was a good movie. We also looked for a car for the unnamed child but didn't come up with a winner yet. Topher's looking too, we spent a ... VIEW POST
