A few of my favorite things...

I love this...it is our vase from the sand ceremony in our wedding. I poured gel wax on top of it so that it would always stay the way it was made during the wedding.


I love this painting by Kim Wheeler. Thanks Rachel (and family) we LOVE it! I finally got a frame that I like for it ($12.49 half price at Michael's!!) and I have a BEAUTIFUL new shelf to display it on! The frame is black but there is some brown showing thru in some areas, I'm not sure if you can see it in this picture.

I love this picture of my Grandpa that Kyndall gave me for Christmas. I get to see him daily just as I remember him. Though it doesn't make up for him not being here- I love that this picture sits in my living room as a constant reminder of him.

Kashi bars...how I love thee... These bars are my new secret addiction..although it's not so secret anymore!

Home Project

Look what Travis built this weekend. I L-O-V-E it! I can finally display things neatly! Thank you Travis!!

Elbie

What kind of updating would I be doing if I didn't post about Elbie? Here is a cute picture of her doing what she loves to do after a long day of playing...

Laying on the back of the couch in her spot.

You would never know by looking at her sweet face that she is the same dog that destroyed a paint brush soaked in black furniture stain and coated herself in black and painted our living room floor black...more on that later. I want this post to be sweet.

Since April

I bought three of these sticker type things at a home party in April. I FINALLY got around to making one of them! I still have a cross and another saying to put on something. They are made for walls, but I didn't want mine to be permanent! Here it is...

I put it on the front of a picture frame ($14.49 at Michael's!!) and I put some light brown fabric in the background! I must say, I really like it! Stay tuned for the next two...

A day at the circus!

Today my mom, Lauren and I went to the circus. I don't know who had the most fun!

Spending a day with a happy six year old= PRICELESS!
