Na Blo Po Mo... & Day 1 : 30 Days of Thankful...


To say this blog has been a bit neglected this year would be an understatement. Simply? I just haven't been in the mood for it. Life gets busy, Photo Uploading isn't as easy as I'd like it to be, and I forget that there are people still reading this stale old thing. Thankfully, I've had a bit of inspiration, and since It's November I thought I'd do a Combination of blogging every day (eeeh... I hope) and blogging about what I'm thankful for. I have done this before, it just always feels so cathartic, and reminds me I am a blessed person.

So today, I give you Day one...   

Today I am thankful for my creative juices. It was really cleansing and nice to be able to pack up and put away all the Halloween Decorations and then create a new wonderful centerpiece for our home of Thankfulness and Fall. 

Tune in for 30 Days of Thankful this month... and hopefully it will be a daily installment.

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!
