Miss My Fam

If only I could go back to laying on the beach and relaxing.

Did I say relaxing? I forgot what that is!!!

My sister my best friend. I love you Pen.

I sure miss all these girls. Life is so busy I think I have

seen them once or twice since we came home in Feb.

Since then my niece Mary has moved to Seattle for a

new job and gotton a year older. Happy Birthday Mary.

Just going over pictures this evening as I think

about the scarp album I want to start and the

pictures I want to develop. That is all for now.

Enjoy the rest of the week and goodnight.

Addicted

Is this one of the cutest yet? I love my scentsy!!

Is it wrong to have 7 full size warmers and two

plug ins? Penny is still a scentsy rep if anyone

would like to order.. Seems like all I do is empty

and fill my warmers. Life is rough. Went to bed

with windows open and woke up to the smell

of fresh rain...

Mother's Day gift to self/ Gammy's Big Girl

This little topairy I found at the new Vintage
Market that opened downtown on Friday. I
think I was one of her very first sales. It is
a cute store. I think it is going to go on my
front porch.

Couldn't help myself I loved this old shabby
chic radio. The radio is no longer in it but I
will someday have a scrap room and this will be
in it. My family says where are you going to put
it? As you can see I crammed it in.


The picture really doesnt show it that well but I got a great
deal. She wallpapered the back on inside, and then painted
it. It has really nice knobs on it as well. To much work for
me. Had a good day Saturday. Went to Albany and Corvallis
Saturday markets and more little shops, had lunch, made it
to Costo to print photo's for my moms m-day. Got a gift cert
ificate from my kids for clothes. And then I bought my goodies
at the vintage store. Worked all day Mother's day but it was okay.

Getting into Mommy's work..

Getting Gammy's room spray. She is a very busy girl.

When she puts her mind to something she does it. She broke

herself of the bottle one day. Cold Turkey. And for several

days she says potty and goes to the bathroom. Jordan hadn't

bought her a potty chair yet that was on the list. We take her

in and take the diaper off and she will sit and smile but nothing.

Today she went potty for grandpa and then later in the evening

she did #2 for her mama. Wow what a big girl. Not even 16 months

yet. So proud of her. Her mom entered her into a baby contest,

one of the radio shows and they had over 700 entries. She made it

to the top 50 and now you can vote every day for a week. I dont

know all the details but you can bet I will vote. Jordan's best friend

Kelsey's son made it too. Well off to bed. Enjoy your week.

Happy Mother's Day to my mama!!

I was wondering how I managed to be the person I am today.

And then tonight when I got ready to post this I realized why!

It is because of the mom I have. She is the most wonderful mom

I could ask for. She raised her kids with good morals and a good

heart. I remember certain memories growing up about her. I loved

when she cleaned she would hum and whistle it was neat to watch

and listen to her when she was on a roll. She one time drove myself,

Penny and either my niece Kim or Mary one night to Salem when

we were into Portland wrestling and they were performing at the Salem

armory. We got lost and drove around for a while. I dont think she wanted

to but she did. She worked graveyard for most of our growing up and looking

back I know she didnt get much sleep. She never complained. When we were

in grade school she would take us to Taco Bell everyday after school so that

we could get these glass disney cups and we ended up with a really nice set.

She saved them for us when we left home she gave them to us. The other day

when I stopped she was in her room sitting at a table with her glasses on

working on a coin set in a really nice glass case. She said I am working on this

for you each kid will have one. It made me cry. She made sure we never went

without even if she had too. What more can I say I love you Mom with all my

heart. Happy Mother's Day!!

I Am A Dreamer

I really want a room like this. I dream of a

scraproom to call my own. A place where I

can fill up with all my clutter and fun finds.

I have been looking out for a set of lockers

like these. I saw these pics on one of my fav

blogs. That is all tonight.

What a Monday

Last night I put my shudders up! What a find for 3.99!

People ask if after spending all day with food serving people

if I cook well most of the time it is box food or something easy.

Or with everyone going different directions we just take care

of are self. But tonight I made the chicken rice dish that we all

like. Very easy and takes about an hour. Now I am miserably

full.

After the effort I made cleaning house all day yesterday this

is what it looks like most of the time. No wonder I am tired.

Today was a Monday that could of went better from the start.

No sleep last night, and I dropped everything at work that I

picked up. Put the milk in the cupboard and the chips in the

fridge. I can only hope tomorrow is a better day, starting with a

good night sleep. So enjoy your evening and good night.

Desperate for a blog

Found this one day while out with Penny. Havent found a
place for it yet and you can tell I am keeping up with changing
the dates. NOT!!

Finally got this shelf hung up. One of those projects that just
sits there for quite sometime. But sure like where I put it.
Have some ideas for this wall. I have some window panes that
I want to try adding some blk and wht photo's in them. Hope
to start that this week.


And of course one more layout of Londyn. Wow cant believe
how well the colors go with my upstairs bathroom. Think it
would be funny to frame in and put it up. Probably not.. She
just turned 15mo and is a sponge at learning. She amazes me.
She is off the bottle now. And says potty and runs to the potty.
She hasnt went yet but it wont be long I am sure. Lazy day today,
just managing to head to the shower, cleaned house, took a nap,
and hoping for a good night sleep. Enjoy your week...
