Happy Hump Day!

Hey guys! Sorry my blogs have been kind of “Debbie Downers” lately. It’s just been weird losing Eric Tennis and Tuba Man all within a week of each other! I can’t help but to pay a tribute to two men who have had a huge impact on the way I view life. I am a very lucky girl and GOD has dealt me a pretty fair hand.
On the bright side of the world - it’s raining here today again! I know I’ve got to be the most insane Seattleite you’ve ever met but I really do appreciate every drop of moisture we receive. It’s weird to think this time of year I’m used to scraping windows and starting my car for work. I don’t even drive to work anymore! I commute by bus 5 days a week and wow! Can I tell you not having to drive in this kind of traffic does wonders for my stress level?
As for the new name of the Blog? I’m trying things out. I should have done what I did with my Photo blog, wait until I found a really great name for it or at least a name I liked to start it. So It was “The Ronnebecks” and that was boring (though I may go back to it), then it moved to Seattle 101 (STUPID) and now it’s at Seattlelites which is a term used for those of us who live in Seattle (duh). So we’ll see how long it “Sticks to the wall”. I was thinking of moving it to “Liquid Sunshine” (LAME). Let me know what you think.
On the funny side of things – I heard someone say that Barack Obama is building an Army to destroy Christianity today. Wow. I’m not even really sure what to say to someone actually believing that. I mean, I understand if you don’t like the man, but really? Building an Army? To destroy America’s #1 religion? Yeah right! I hope you find humor in that as well.
I hope you’re having a wonderful day! Happy Trails :)
♥ Abby

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!

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.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
