Weekend Wonderfulness

Having a weekend off was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Saturday Morning we went to Blue Vanilla to have a cup of coffee and a treat. I opted for the green velvet cupcake.

Note to self : Green food coloring is pure evil. But it was fun to eat a St. Patties day colored food.

No corned beef and cabbage for us, but we wore green!

We ate burgers at home after a day of organizing and taking the dog for a walk!

Good.

Lazy..

Refreshing.

Today I went with Kat to South Center and got myself some wonderful organizational tools for my Relay for Life stuff.

I have found that I have to haul a whole crap ton of stuff for each meeting. This little cart I have from my Derby bag was really what the doctor ordered. I have it all stowed neatly away so we can find it again! I am totally thrilled with it!

I also took the time to organize my Series 7 stuff.

Back to the books!

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!

R is for Ronnebeck!
