Random Photo Share Time.

This post is kind of random, It's just a few pictures I've taken with my iPhone (which iLove by the way) over the last weekend. My photos kind of get lost on my phone without ever getting the appreciation they deserve. So here we are, a photos of RANDOM.

The first two are photos of the Memory shelf that I put together this weekend - we have a big 5X5 unit in our living room, and each shelf / cubby has a little character. I decided to clean one off and make it my Memory shelf for Grandma Nani and Momma. The Top photo are the things I treasure from my Momma, her Woody Wood Pecker Cup, Her Jiminy Cricket Cup, an Angel that a friend gave to her while in Hospice care, her Whisk, a photo of her when she was little, and one piece of her China set - a Tea cup and Saucer. Behind that elevated on my Oxford annotated bible, is the picture I adore of Nani and I from when I was little, a clown that she had in her apartment / house for as long as I can remember, and the Smurfette glass she let me drink out of, and lastly, a piece of her china a Teacup and Saucer. I love the way this came together, a little corner of love for my two ladies.

Not so sentimental is the next photo...

This is my "Bout fit" I plan to wear to my friend Megan's home opener in February. Go Carnies!

And lastly, a photo that I'm rather proud of that I took this weekend as I was leaving the Bowling alley from our Relay for Life Kickoff.

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!
