Love that Pottery Barn!

I do have to say, that I LOVE anything to do with Pottery Barn! they always have great Ideas when it comes to decorating, and lots of cute stuff. I was looking at the Pottery Barn sight last week when I came across this.

And I absolutely LOVED IT! I loved how the pictures came out from the wall to give that 3-D affect. I looked to see how they did that and it was called a frame riser. And the price was $16.00 for a little frame riser. I loved the affect so I was determined to do the same thing but for allot less money. So I went to the Hardware store and found L Brackets and some bolts and the total cost around $7.00 for both frames. And this is the end result! if you want full details e-mail me and I will tell you how I did it. I love how it turned out! What do you think!

Happy Birthday BUDDY!

Well Elijah turned 4 years old on the 12th. If you cant tell January is a busy month with two birthday right after each other. Well we went to the skating rink for Elijah's Birthday and he invited a few friends. They had a great time! he wanted a spider man cake so he got one. Courtesy of Sheri, she lives right down the street and makes the cutest cakes. I got creative and made Elijah's birthday invite and Noah's I don't have any picture of Noah's yet, but when I do I will post them. Anyway I can't believe my little boy is 4 years old! and he is all boy for sure! and at the same time just a big teddy bear. He loves people, and going to school and fixing things with daddy's tools. He is such a sweetie and a smooth talker he always seems to tell me I look beautiful right before he gets into trouble. One thing I love is that he always say to me "I love you MOMMY" that enough to melt my heart. Any today was a great day for Elijah, he came down with CHICKENPOX! yes CHICKENPOX!
he was exposed at pre-school, so I have great times ahead. I had to cancel my foot surgery that was supposed to be on Friday, I didn't want to take any chances because most likely the rest of the crew will end-up with CHICKENPOX! exciting days ahead for me.
Lots Of Love

Happy Birthday!

Sorry its been awhile since I have posted. January is always a busy month for me. I have two boys that were born within 9 days of each other. Anyway My little Noah turned 2 years old on the 3rd, and I'm still in shock I cant believe my little baby is 2 years old and in celebration we had a little birthday party for him. He loves Wall-e so needless to say we had a Wall-e Birthday for him. We had a great time! I still cant believe this little guy is 2! he is such a sweetheart and so full of life! he is so smart! he is always blowing me away with his words and what he says. He is such a lover boy, he loves snuggling and giving kisses. And he loves-loves-loves very soft things. So for Christmas I made him some minky blankets and pillow cases and he loves them. I love watching him grow and learn new things, he is such a blessing to his family We LOVE you Noah!

Hey TO you!

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. Anyway here are some updates on whats been going on First, we celebrated Johns birthday yesterday. The kids decided to make him a cake (and don't worry I made him a German chocolate cake from scratch). If you want the recipe I know the chefs. Second I finished the curtain for my kitchen and I love the fabric! after months and months of looking I came across this fabric and it was exactly what I was looking for, I loved it so much I went back and bought all they had so I could make curtains for my living room. And if you ever want to make curtains try using grommets they look really nice and are super easy to use. And last but not least this gorgeous jacket! this is my Birthday-Christmas present! I love houndstooth and decided I wanted a houndstooth jacket and went in search for one and came home with this beauty. Anyway I hope you are having a great holiday season so far.

HB to me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
to me.

October=Projects

Happy Halloween! Julia was Tinkerbell, she looked pretty darn cute as Tinkerbell. Elijah was Jack Sparrow, you have got to love the dreds! he loved telling everybody that he was Jack Sparrow. And who is Tinkerbell without PeterPan, and that would be Noah, he made a really cute PeterPan and he actually loved wearing his hat. And allot of you know that I love to sew, and this years challenge was Giselles wedding dress from Enchanted, and after hours and hours of sewing, beading, drawing and lots and lots of glitter this is how it turned out. Not to brag, well I guess I am bragging a little, I think it turned out SOOO CUTE! it was real eyecatcher were ever we went, everybody loved it. I do have to say that Makenna made an awesome Giselle and she looked so beautiful.





October has been a really crazy month for me! lots and lots of Projects. First project was making Makenna's invitations to her Birthday party. And then Julia was the star of the week which required a poster. And yea you know me I couldn't just make a simple poster, I had to make the best poster ever, and after allot of hours I think it turned out pretty darn CUTE! it sure brought back allot of memories. I just kept looking at her and thinking gosh she is so Beautiful!

Happy Birthday!

My Makenna turned 7 years old today, the time does fly! I can't belive its been 7years since this little girl blessed our house. She is such a talented little girl, who is always willing to help. She is such a sweetheart and a sweet spirit. She loves going to school, and doing any thing related to crafts. I just amazing to watch her grow and learn, she is turning into a little lady! she lost her first tooth a couple weeks ago and was so excited to get a dollar from the toothfairy. I wish I had her energy! all I have to say is her Mommy and Daddy are so lucky to have her. We love you Makenna!

Sorry it's been a LONG! time

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, my life has been pretty crazy lately with all the school schedules. There really hasn't been a whole lot of excitement going on right now, but I do no one thing that Halloween is around the corner and its costume making time for me! And for those of you that know me know that I love Halloween and love making my kids costume. I do have to say that I'm (alot) competitive when it come to costumes. And yes I know I'm crazy! because I will research the costume I'm making so looks like an exact replica. And this year it is Giselle from Enchanted yes the big White Wedding dress. I'm starting a little later then I wanted to, and I have a lot of work ahead of me. So this is how bad I am I spent hours on the Internet trying to find pictures of the full dress and no! I tryed every search engine possible and finally I got lucky, I went to this blog and some lady had went to see Enchanted at this theatre, were they had all of the original costumes on display and the wedding dress was one of them, she had taken detailed photos, and when I saw that I started screaming like a school girl, I was so excited. Yes I know I'm a DORK! so I have started the dress, I will post some pictures of my work in progress. And here are some of the pictures from that blog. I hope everybody is doing good. What are you going to be for HALLOWEEN!

Late Night!

Well after almost 2 years of not scrapbooking, a couple nights ago I just went down stairs and did a page! and yes it took me about 3 hours, on one page. That's just crazy! but overall I think it turned out pretty cute, I guess it should be some-what cute after three hours of intense concentration and staying up till 2:00am in the morning. In the end I liked what I did, and it felt really good to be creative again. I'm going to have to do it more often. Scrapbook night here I come. Oh and I'm going to try and work on the time frame and whip a page out in 20 min(yeah right) I will certainly try.

The first day of School!

Sorry this post is a little late. Well the kids started school, and they are loving every minute of it! they love going to school, Makenna and Julia started a new school this year, so I was a little nervous on how Makenna was going to react to a new school, but she loves her teacher and loves going to school. Julia started kindergarten this year and she loves going to school and loves her teacher, she had to tell everybody what she did in school. Elijah started pre-school, and gets so excited to go to school, he ask me everyday "is it school today?" So they are all having a great time at school. So we will see if it last.
