Parties and Projects

Last week, maybe the week before.... they are all running together.... I was on a Craigslist kick.

There were a host of good things in the free section, and a few I was willing to go find.

One lady was a total flake, and I set up multiple times to call, and go get, but she was never there. Grrrrr.......

I did get one good score! A twin headboard and footboard for Jacey.

It was hard for me to find a style that went well with her vintage shaby chic style furniture, but I did it!



The only set back is the finnish. We were able to do Jacey's dresser and kitchenette in the shop back in Utah. Out here we are lacking all proper tools and equiptment. Still, it's worth a try.

Her furniture is black. Not really what one would think when I mention shabby chic.



Look closer.



Where the black is rubbed through, it's pink. One of a kind.... as far as I know! My hubby had a hard time painting his baby girl's bedroom furniture black. But I love it! It's not traditional, it's different, but it's still very cute and girly. It balances out all the rest of the pink in the room so it's not overwhelming.

Tonight is Thursday and I'm busy as can be.... but my plan is to have the DONE and put together, before the party on Saturday at 2pm.

Wish me luck!

The Doctor Is In

Here are the pics of the invites I've been promising.



Oooh and Aaaahhhhh approprietly. They took for ever!



I took advantage of the "handwriting like a doctor" saying to not worry about my messy writing. I'm pretending it's messy on purpose!



The invites are just a prelude to the over the top party.

Wanna feel a little sorry for me?

We sent out 28 invites. One RSVP. The party is in two days.

Anyone in the area want to come play with "boogers"?

Wasted Days

For two days I have had a headache!

For two days I have moped around my house spending more time on the couch than anyone should.

My house looks like it's played host to several tornados.
It might just be deemed it's own natural disaster.

I have a meeting tonight with a few other ladies. I feel the need to be "dressed" for this occasion but lack motivation to even go take a shower.

I have boy scouts tomorrow.

The boys have truck loads of make-up work to get done (I hate homework).

I have tons of errands to run on Friday, and my house needs to be clean because....

We have Gavin's birthday party here on Saturday.

The only thing that was productive this week-
The addition of a big beautiful much needed suburban to our family. I love it!

I think tonight we just might load it up and go get something to eat out for dinner.
I don't feel like cooking.(or getting dressed, or doing laundry, or dishes, or cleaning, or even leaving the house.... but I might make an exception to that last one if it involves someone else providing the food)
