A few photos from our past weekend...

Eric and I didn't spend much time together but we still had a nice weekend.

On Friday night I went to Happy hour with Dawn and then hit Mick Kelly's for some advertising fun! We sold some tickets but mostly got the word out!!

Saturday I started my morning with breakfast with Eric, then coffee with Brie, then Eric an I went down to Kent to meet up with Gene & Christina, Demi, Casey and Casey's friend Kennedy for lunch, and then we got home and I headed into the city with my boss, my coworker and we friend for dinner at the Bamboo Gardens and the Seattle Men's Choir at McCaw Hall!

By the time I got home Saturday I was Blissfully tired and happy!

Eric and I hung out at home on Sunday. A quick trip to the airport for Kat but other than that we were lazy!!

Oh weekends.... Why do you escape us so quickly!!!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
