OK. So I think that has been established for a while now, but what I’m really after today is some advice (professional or non), and I always get the best answers when I ask my blog friends. See I’m hosting an Extreme Makeover (Furniture Edition) party next week, (I hope to see you all here), […]

Jack-o-lantern Jars
August 27, 2009 by 19 Comments
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 super excited […]
A Peek At My Booty
August 21, 2009 by 13 Comments
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, so it […]
Price My Mantle
August 20, 2009 by 2 Comments
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 would have […]
Awesome Anniversary Adventures
August 19, 2009 by 9 Comments
I pulled off my anniversary celebration last week, and it involved a bit of insanity, so I must share, although I neglected to get pictures of much of anything. This year being our 10th anniversary, I had grandiose visions of tropical vacations, diamond anniversary bands, and all sorts of wonderful surprises. As the anniversary drew […]
Mini-Makeovers & An Announcement
August 14, 2009 by 8 Comments
I’m aware my posting has been pretty light this week. Among the reasons for this, is that I am still putting together a little insanity to celebrate our anniversary (late) tonight. Another reason, is that I have been working on little projects all week, but instead of getting them done one at a time and […]
Kira’s Fishy Birthday (a PBP)
August 11, 2009 by 13 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. Lately I’ve been looking at photos of parties from years past, and I’ve realized that without a digital camera, and the plans to blog about party details, my pics leave […]
10–Something to Celebrate
August 7, 2009 by 9 Comments
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. So I’m not promising […]
Ingenious, Edible Insanity–The Keg Cake
August 4, 2009 by 9 Comments
This fun rustic looking keg, could be fun to use at lots of parties, right? But wait… It is CAKE! Almost the entire thing is edible, and what’s crazier…it actually works as a keg! This masterpiece was created by my good friend, Kim’s mother, Terri. Here is what Kim wrote about this cake: Mom just […]
Kids’ Table Redo…(and some shutters, too!)
August 3, 2009 by 17 Comments
Bit by bit, I’m finishing up projects for the loft area. This table used to look like this… …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 and/or deco-paging it. What […]
