Happy 30th and a lamp re-do!

Yep, today is the day! I am officially a 30-something!! I can't believe I am 30! I still feel like I am 12!! I know most people hate the thought of being 30, but I am looking forward to the next 10 years!

My twenties were full of great moments! I was married, had two great kids, bought a house, got a dog and had several moves! I am ready for calmness!! I know that seems like a tall order but I am ready for adventures!

So, for my birthday, I decided to buy this wonderful brassy lamp from the thrift store for $3.00.

I know, it's bad but look below!

Ain't it purdy with new paint! I LOVE the blue!! It's my new favorite color!

And milk glass, anything milk glass!!! I love anything vintage-y!

Anywho, I hope you all have a great day!!!

Mirror re-do and EASTER fun!

Been crazy busy lately! The blog is always negelected when that happens!!

Anywho... below is a mirror my brother was going to throw away...gasp!! I know! i had to save it from the dump!! So i sanded it..

And painted it brown!!! It's not completely done yet, but I like it a lot!!

And now for more exciting pics!! Below is my Little A, Easter morning, all ready for church! I love this picture because I never get a good pic of him!!

I'm also excited because I made the vest and tie! Little ole me! My very FIRST attempt at sewing anything but a straight line!! Very exciting stuff!

Then there's my M! Looking as dashing as ever!! All ready for church!!

Also made his vest and tie! Yeah me!



Here is a pic of most of the kiddos! Look how lovely, all excited after church! 

And the pic below is from the Saturday before Easter when we had our egg hunt! All the kids were accounted for! Some of their heads got chopped off taking this pic, but it's the best we could do!!

I hope everyone had a great Easter! I love any excuse to get all of the kiddos together and have some fun!

I love my new house!

We just moved into our very first home and we are so very excited! I am so thrilled to be able to add touches of us to our own house!! So I thought I would post a picture of what we have done so far.

Below is a pic of our dining room. The balloons are not part of the decor but we had little A's birthday party before I took this pic. The color was a little scary at first but now it's my favorite. My hubbie picked it out. It's a relaxing color to me!





Below is a pic of the boys bathroom (yes we have our own bathroom...aaaahhhh!) We found this monkey curtain and thought it was perfect!!!!! So I based the wall color off of the shower curtain. It's awesome!!!!

Now this is my totally favorite room! The boy's room is so cool. I wanted to try to make their room look like the sky and I think we succeeded. Adam and I worked together and got it done. It took awhile but I think it looks pretty good if I don't say so myself! :) We found wall decals that look just like the planets and ta-da, it's a sky!

Well that's all for now. My brain is starting to go fuzzy from all the picture downloading and typing. Man I'm worn out!!(Just kidding!) Hope you enjoy!
