I want these pictures in my kitchen.  hmmmm...I wonder if my brother could draw and paint them????

painting!!!!

Okay I love this painting.  I want it sooo bad.  The lady painted it herself off a picture she saw.  Such talent.  I need that kind of talent.  It would look so cute in my room.  There is no way I can paint that though..I know boo hoo.  SO my camera doesn't work :(  Time to get a new one...someday

XO

I went to Hobby Lobby and got an X and O.  I glued craft paper on it and it turned out cute for V-day.

Finished my book Cleaving....she is strange!  I need a new camera...I want a fancy one that takes AWESOME pics.  Love my old camera but it is not working great anymore.

pottery barn pillows

pillows

I have been making number pillows like the ones in the Pottery Barn catalog.  Mine cost $22 dollars to make.  I would love to have the real ones but they were $100 for four of them....about $75 out of my price range.  So I made my own...the numbers are 8-9-03  which is my wedding date. 

learning from parenting

Well I am sad and HAPPY to say that my sweet boy got white belt with a stripe.  The instructor was not basing it off of his testing last night but the whole time he has been in karate.  To be honest we haven't worked real hard with him until the last few weeks.  HE so should of got a yellow belt because he did awesome last night.  Oh well I was sad but then I looked at my big blue eyed boy who was SO happy and I thought to myself be happy for him no matter what.  Who cares that he didn't get his yellow belt because he is HAPPY and only 4 out of his whole class got one.  I am proud of him!!!!  Wait to go Blaine.  He is going to be awesome white belt at least because he knows everything in that class already. 

SO today I am going to Home Depot to get my board for my special project...  It is a knock of painting of Pottery Barn.  Can you tell that today is payday for my hubby....off to Home Depot.

so many ideas so little money

Oh my gosh I have so many ideas....one I can't wait to do is a picture for my living room.  Hurry up money and fall from the sky.  I have been looking at blogs pretty much all day and found a picture that I can make like one at Pottery Barn. 

For now here is a picture of my laundry room.  I painted it a grey color but it looks a little blue.  I got the letters at Hobby Lobby for $1 each and then spray painted them black.  I like how it turned out.  It looks so much better in there.  I should have done a before than after pic. 

Wish my baby Blaine luck tonight...he is testing for a yellow belt.  I think I am more nervous than him.  I will post pictures hopefully tomorrow of my new yellow belt karate kid,
