Estate sale frame: Peg board from hardware store cut to size: Can you guess where this is going yet? Coat of white spray paint on frame: Assortment of peg board hooks. I didn't like the chrome finish on these hooks and wanted to spray paint them a metallic bronze. I poked them in to the top of a shoe box lid for easy access when spraying. Ta-da!

This is what my desk looked like last night: Enough was enough. My beau made this simple monitor riser from a piece of plywood out of the disgard pile at Home Depot. $0.50 thrift store dish... A coat of turquoise spray paint...perfect. I found this cute little fish at Target on clearance for $0.97! Makes a great little paper weight just in case a tornado where ever to come through my office. (Shhh...It's actually a salt shaker). I swear my happiness level is in large part related

"Awwww waaaaa waaaa waaaaa waaaaa waaaaaa goo day. Awwww waaaaa waaaaa waaaa waaaa ble-food. Awwww waaaa waaaa waaaa waaaa, AMEN!" This little man's version of dinner time prayers. And it melts my heart everytime. (Yes, I burned the pizza).

I'm about 4 years behind in my scrapbooking. I'm not sure if I should go back to where I left off or just start from this point on. Does it really matter? I just piddle around with the pictures when I attempt to scrapbook and then get nothing done anyway. I came accross an old home flyer from our very first house. We painted every wall, put in new flooring throughout, meticulously cared for our backyard...those were the days.

100% undivided attention. Complete stillness and intrigue. What are they watching? This. Really? Who watches this stuff? I don't get it. Must be a guy thing.
