My creations (thanks to Pinterest)...

If you know me you know I love Pinterest and have tried MANY new recipes thanks to it!  Well it has gotten me to get creative, too.  I took a few ideas and created this on the wall in my living room!  I LOVE IT!!

I have the collage photo from our 2011 family pictures and my "Family is Forever" vinyl.  Then I have the Important Dates and my favorite beach pictures of the boys.  The clocks under there picture are set to the times they were born. 

I also wanted to share with you my awesome find at TJ Maxx this fabulous lamp!  To make it even better my scentsy warmer matches it perfectly!



Cobblestone Walkway

So excited to show everyone our new Cobblestone Path from the driveway to the pool.

I am the mixer...

Bay decided to help...

Almost done...

We gave it a week to get good and dry before I tackled the finishing touches...

and into the pool area...

Grass was coming up between the stones so I sprayed the with grass/weed killer and filled them with sand.  I love the look the sand in the cracks gave it.  Another project FINISHED!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Baseball time...

I am a year behind, but finally getting to Baily's very first baseball season at Buckhorn Middle!  He loves baseball!  This layout is him on 1st getting ready to steal to 2nd.  You can see the intensity in his eyes.  The title of LO is "add..." which is what the base coaches tell the base runners when they want them to take another step. 

Join us over at scrapfreak for today Freaky Friday--a Recipe Challenge!

Mojo Monday at the Freak...

Smash Books and Journals are rage and I am finally jumping on the wagon!  I was actually given a Smash Book by a good friend last year and didn't know where to begin.  Thanks to Mojo Monday at scrapfreak I am getting a start!

4/16 Mojo Monday is about Quiet Time

Make a list of what you do during that quiet time either at night when everyone is sleeping or in the early morning before everyone gets up at your house.  For me I am a night owl so I have lots of things I like to do when everyone is sleeping and I am wide awake.

Here is my list...

Sorry it is not the best picture, but as you can guess I did this late at night while everyone was sleeping and had to take a picture inside.

Everyone have a wonderful Monday!

April 10 on 10 | Watching Paint Dry

So excited that I remembered today was 10 on 10!! Been a while since I done this!  My day was a little boring though--I painted most of it.  So be prepared to watch paint dry!

My day started at 10:00 outside with Gabby...

11:00 and it is time to start staining the fence! 

Around 12 I noticed Gabby chilling on the diving board...

Another hour has gone by and this is how far I have gotten...

Around 2:00 now...

Must but about 3:06 because here is the bus dropping E off...

Well 4:00 is here and this is where I am now...

It is 5 I should be stopping to make supper, but I am almost done!

Well, here we are at 6:00 and I have ran out of paint!  I was so close to finishing this side!

It's 7:00 and what better to do after burning all those calories painting...

Yes, I ate every bit of it!  They say you burn about 265 calories an hour painting so I should be okay---I painted 7.5 hours!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Bloom Time...

I spent many hours weeding my flower beds during spring break--it is awesome therapy!  My new camera finally got here on Thursday so I had to take some pictures of what is blooming right now!  I love my flowers!  I love the color and life they bring to our yard.

Freaky Friday

It is Freaky Friday Challenge time over at scrapfreak!  This was a challenge for me.  For our Trends and Design Challenge it was to create a LO using Graphs and Infographics.  So I went for the circle graph and boy it harder to get that circle just right!! BUT I love the finished product!

So my graph was all about my plans for 2012!  Some of my plans are to:

1. Read more.

2. Bake and try recipes.

3.  Enjoy Life!

4. Have more family nights.

5.  Read and Study my Bible more.

6. Go on more date nights with my guy!

7.  Hang out with my friends more.

8.  Travel--we plan to go to DC and NYC this summer.

Well you get the idea!  Can't wait to see what you all come up with!  Joine us each Friday for our Freaky Friday LO challenges and each Wednesday for our Wonderful Wednesday Card challenges!

MOVE...RUN...

I was off Tuesday and did some scrapping!  I found this old picture of E the day we moved into our house here in Alabama.  It had been a crazy week.  We packed up our house in Indiana and headed for Alabama.  We had to spend a week living in a hotel waiting to close on our house.  School started while we living in the hotel, too.  So when Friday finally got there and we got move into the house we were all just ready to get our beds set up so we could sleep good for a night.  Poor E just needed to find his blankie and he was out!

I had to do a LO using a picture with no people! EEK!  I found this one of my running shoes and decided it was scrap worthy.  Those shoes were a Christmas present in 2010 and I spent all of 2011 running 5K's in them.  Actually, I am still using these shoes thing it is time for a new pair!

Everyone have a great day and check back Friday for scrapfreak's new Freaky Friday Challenge!

Leap Year Crop Weekend

Don't forget about the Leap Year Crop over at scrapfreak this weekend.  I just finished Tam's Altered Ribbon Canvas Challenge!  I love, love, love how these turned out!  Our school colors are Navy and Gold so I made these for a couple of teacher friend's at Buckhorn!

Wish I had more canvas so I could make them all day or until I ran out of ribbon!

Have a wonderful weekend!
