Yeah, yeah, yeah what's goin on?

As I previously mentioned I have recently caught a crafting bug...unfortunately I also suffer from project startitis so I generally don't finish ANYTHING I set out to do. BUT I am very pleased to say that in the past two weeks I have FINISHED 3 crafting projects that were pretty involved. Two of them are for Madelyns party tomorrow so you don't get to see until the Birthday After Party.

Here is the one I can share: I got this for $3 at the craft store, some 79 cent paint and one sheet of pretty paper for 50 cents. I wanted something to hang our jackets on by the front door so they could stop laying on the sofa table or floor.

Here is the completed project! I finished and got it hung just in time for the temperature to rise to 104 degrees! Woohoo! I'm so glad I have a place to hang our jackets for those chilly 90 degree days.
In other news, almost one year to the day of living in the same area, my dear friend Denise and her family moved out here! We had a great weekend of them staying with us, cooking, laughing, and hanging out. I am so happy that they are out here and are getting settled into their new home. As you can see below though, Madelyn was miserable having two other girls to play with.

It was very cute, she was on the girls heels the whole time and even though she was a little crabby some mornings (she had an ear infection too), she was a trooper with all the people in the house. Plus I made popcorn, so it's all good.

Oh wait, did I say 3 projects? I meant 4 and a little bit, but the little bit isn't on here. Here is number 4, a family pumpkin painting project. If you look closely you can see the face on Madelyn's. She did that pumpkin totally on her own I just steadied it. I'm so proud of her for getting a face on it!
Tomorrow Madelyn turns 2, I can't believe that it's been 2 years already. I'm very excited for her birthday party and seeing her enjoy her friends.

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
