Getting back to the grind is tough after a long weekend.
Trying to sound sophisticated at 11:26am making business calls while sitting in pj's and messy hair is no easy task.
Not only that, I've got one massive headache from riding amusement park rides all day yesterday.
Apparently, I'm no spring chick anymore.
Last week I stripped my first painted piece.
Despite it being just a small little stool, stripping all the paint made a gigantic mess.
None the less, the mess was well worth
Brass plated stool.
A long while ago I found this stool at my fave consignment store.
At the time I didn't have any particular use for it but stools can be used for other things besides sitting...side tables, plant stands...
It was in rough shape but I left it outside for several months and it rusted even worse than when I first brought it home.
Not wanting to get rid of it but feeling like I kind of ruined it my dad suggested I have it brass plated. He has had several plumbing pipes chrome plated to make
New pillows.
I have some news.
We bought a new sofa.
And it's not white.
You remember the leather sofa roundup I did a couple weeks ago?
Well I pulled the trigger, and by trigger I mean clicked a button, and bought one of them...any guesses which? It will be here next week.

Personalized tote bags made with Cricut Explore (and a breast story).
A few months ago I plugged the heck out of the new Cricut Explore machine. I was honored to be amongst a group of very talented bloggers who were at the unveiling of this fabulous machine and were gifted a machine to play with and review. You may have noticed that since that exciting announcement I have made no mention of my Cricut since...it's been all crickets when it comes to the Cricut (no pun intended). Let me take a short detour to explain before we get to the fun stuff.
Just a few
Chatbook photo albums.
Once in a while I get head over heels obsessed with something.
Chairs, drink carts, Ben and Jerry's...
My latest obsession is a "Why didn't I think of that?" idea.
Before I start to gush let me first start off by saying I am in no way affiliated or sponsored by them in any way.
Now that I've made that disclaimer, have you heard of Chatbooks?
They are the most quick and easy way to make a photo album EVER!
Back in the day, 9 years ago, I got bit by the scrapbooking bug big time.
I would
Goodbye white sofas?
Have you noticed that through the years your decor choices follow your personality changes?
9 years ago when I had my first child I vowed to be that perfect wife, mother and woman. Dinner would be on the table at 5pm every night, I would raise children who had their hair in order, a clean face and certainly wouldn't ever wear cartoon or superhero t-shirts.
Fast forward almost 10 years and that perfect life I thought was so important is completely unrealistic and ridiculous. (BTW, it was chips
