Leap Day!

 Last Thursday, 30 Rock had a VERY funny episode about Leap Day - they made a HUGE deal out of it, and a fictitious character named Leap Day William - Click on the picture for the funny You Tube video.

I have really never given much thought to a Leap Day celebration, and the only REAL benefit Leap Day gives me is one more day to study for my Series 7!

Today, my co-workers Patsy, Robb and I decided to dress in Yellow and Blue (like the video) and celebrate Leap Day, just for kicks! 

I googled it - and Leap Day traditionally gives women the one day in 4 years where they can ask the man they wish to marry to marry them without shame. Thanks Saint Bridget and Saint Patrick.
What a silly "holiday"...
Enjoy your extra trip around the sun today!

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!
