Weekend Wonderland!

We were really busy this weekend, but it was a good kind of busy. Friday night we went up to North gate to visit our good friends Ivan and Dawn. We had an Italian feast and watched Pineapple Express, which with my good visiting friends manors I fell asleep halfway through. 5 am is too early to get up, and then start a movie at 9 pm. Ugh. Either way, it was so good to see them, it had been quite a while since we were able to hang out and we're hoping that we will get to see each other next weekend again! On the way home, I was trying to get a cool picture of the city, but moving car + low light = blurry pictures. I did get this one of "pill hill" that I was pretty pleased with.

Saturday we ran errands and cleaned house because Sunday we were expecting kids to come over and play video games. In the evening we went to Kelly's birthday party. I told her that it was nice of her to throw me a birthday party since her birthday wasn't till the 15th and mine was on Monday. She had a really fun "awards" ceremony to appreciate all of her friends. Eric ended up winning best "comedian". It was a great to spend time with our church friends and connect with them.
On Sunday (today) Eric had some boys over to play video games, It's so fun to watch a bunch of high school boys play. They get so excited over everything! I'm sure our downstairs neighbor Learne wasn't too sad to see them go.
Katherine and I stepped out to do some shopping since our husbands were in the midst of the high school boys playing too.
We found these shades at Target and figured we were just too cool looking to not take a photo... I am so sad these things are "back in style".

Any ways, Mom had sent me a gift certificate to Target for my birthday, I have been wanting to purchase a new scarf and wallet so ... that's what you got me for my birthday Mom... Thank you !!!


I hope you all had a nice weekend too.
It's my last post till I turn 25... not like that's significant just thought I'd mention it.

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!
