Something New: The Presidential Motorcade

I was super excited to hear that Mr.President was coming to Seattle! Whenever I hear someone "Famous" is in town, I try to sneak a peak. Most of the time I get a big F for failure, and I guess you could probably just give me a C for this one.

I didn't get to SEE The PRESIDENT, but I did get to see a couple secret service men and his Motorcade in action, which was actually pretty amazing!

Please excuse the photo quality, this was from 28 floors up at work. I work in the building connected to the Westin Hotel where the President came to speak in support of Senator Murray.

When I walked into the Hotel Tuesday morning, I was greeted by 3 or 4 men in black suits with ear buds. How handsome we dress our secret service men! Right after the motorcycle police dropped off the President at the Westin Hotel they parked up all the way up Virginia (Picture above). After He was done speaking the motorcycles met with the SUV's, Limo's, Vans and emergency vehicles and escorted him to the express lanes to head up to the Madrona area.

I think he's probably in one of the black vehicles... somewhere....

I doubt I'll ever witness a motorcade again, but it was pretty exciting!

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!
