Today I am sharing with you the painting our tired tiles received. The painting continues today! Everything is going great, but it is taking longer than expected. The hardest part is keeping Miss L and our dog out of the painter's way. We end up holed up in the master bedroom, which, I think I'm speaking for the three of us here, gets booooring. I think we're going to head up to one of my favorite antiquing towns in Michigan today to busy ourselves (not the dog, she's staying here). I want ... Read More about Painting Our Tired Tiles

Let’s Get it Started!!!!!
Project: Paint the House is beginning around here! I'm so excited, but, as you probably know, it gets ugly before it gets pretty. This is what my house looks like today:Yikes!

I swallowed one big lump while we were singing happy birthday, but other than that kept it together! Ok, now to those decorations! Let's start with the centerpiece of the party (besides the birthday girl herself, of course) the cupcake ... Read More about Makin’ One Look Good!!!!
Yarn Wrapped Birthday Wreath
My glue gun is practically permanently plugged into the wall as party day approaches! Yesterday's project was actually just finishing up a wreath that I started a long time ago. I wrapped this Styrofoam wreath with yarn almost a year ago with intentions of making a nursery decoration out of it. It never made it to completion.By simply adding some tissue paper flowers and the wooden 1, it became a birthday wreath! I found the wooden 1 at Michael's and spray painted it "Blue Ocean Breeze" by ... Read More about Yarn Wrapped Birthday Wreath
Birthday Photo Shoot + Using Photos as Party Decor!
A few days ago I attempted my first photo shoot with a backdrop (that fabric from JoAnn that I was telling you about in this post), props (a cupcake headband and wooden number 1), and a walking baby. Whoo! Talk about crazy! My mom tried her best to help me, but getting Miss L to keep her darn headband on, look at the camera, and stay still was nearly impossible. I had two purposes for this photo shoot: 1) I wanted some cute pictures of my (almost) one year old all dressed up in her party ... Read More about Birthday Photo Shoot + Using Photos as Party Decor!
