Ten on Tuesday

1| Happy Tuesday! I am in a damn good mood today but I think it's because I only have a 3 day work week this week! I didn't plan it that way but we got Monday off for MLK and Friday is Eric's birthday and I always try to take it off if I can so, I am!

2| I don't know if I ever bragged about my Christmas gifts on here but my Husband is one heck of a gift giver! He is so thoughtful! Three gifts I am particularly thankful for this morning is my Brave Bear hat which is super warm, my isotoner gloves which have the fingerless option as well as a full mitten! And last, but not least my thermos commuter coffee cup! It keeps my coffee piping hot! I've discovered it can keep it warm from 5 am and it is still drinkable around 2pm! Crazy! Pictured below !

3| this weekend was so nice! Makes me think I could do 4 ten hour days and have a three day weekend every week! If only it were an option!

4| I have started my Series 7 studying again, I don't have a hard date for the test yet but I will let you know when I do! I am thinking April or May depending on how my studying is going!

5| taking the above into consideration I think I have a learning disability of sorts! It goes in one ear and out the other, I am trying I promise!

6| I have discovered that at the ripe old age of 28 I am getting gray hairs! Eeeek!!! Thanks to Mom dying her hair most of her life I don't even have a clue as to when she went gray but I know my dad was young. So now there's the decision to hide it and due my hair or embrace it and pray my husband doesn't mind me with gay hair!

7| I went shopping at two big blondes this weekend and picked up 6 new tops! I love that place! A whole week of new wardrobe, here I come!

8| I don't know if I have ever sung enough praises to my iPhone but that is what I am blogging on right now as Make my way to work! I love this damn thing! So, please excuse the typos and and fat fingers!

9| the fingerless option on my mittens works wonders for typing on my iPhone :)

10| I did a lot of Pinterest browsing this weekend and I am doing a lot of research to share on my Halloween blog! Yay for year round Halloween love! (Www.spooky-scary.blogspot.com)

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!
