Jack-o-lantern Jars

Pin It It feels like forever since I’ve posted! I certainly didn’t intend to leave the “booty” post as the top one for so long. I’m so glad you’re all still here with me. I have been so excited about this idea since it first popped into my head a few weeks back. I was [...]

A Peek At My Booty

August 21, 2009 By 13 Comments

Pin It View Full Album I think I’ll lose half of my followers with a title like that (and maybe gain a few that will be disappointed), but I just couldn’t resist. And if you aren’t sure what kind of booty I am referring to, go here. Technically I acquired everything you see here legally, [...]

Price My Mantle

August 20, 2009 By 2 Comments

Pin It I wanted to join in the last time the illustrious “Nester” had her “Price My Space” party, but I realized that there wasn’t one room in my house that was “done” enough to exhibit. They are all works in progress. I’ve made a lot of progress since the last party, but thought I [...]

Kira’s Fishy Birthday (a PBP)

August 11, 2009 By 12 Comments

First of all, what is a PBP? It stands for “Pre-blogging Party.” You see, I’ve been crazy a lot longer than I’ve had this blog.

10–Something to Celebrate

August 7, 2009 By 9 Comments

Pin It I’ve been trying to create a post highlighting the details of our wedding, 10 years ago, this week. But I am finding the challenge of blogging with pre-blogging, pre-digital images, combined with trying to get out of town for a family weekend, a little more than I can handle right now.

August 3, 2009 By 17 Comments

Pin It Bit by bit, I’m finishing up projects for the loft area. This table used to look like this… Pin It …except is was red, and colored on and tearing apart. While I have seen lots of beautiful kids’ tables for sale, that’s not in the budget right now. I starting thinking about recovering [...]
