My kitchen is now almost complete(except the backsplash) so I will wait and post finished product. My mom has been in the hospital and is still in the hospital for the last 6 weeks-which explains my absence.

It's been awhile since I've blogged! I've been busy with various things but the most pressing right now is my mom. She is in the hospital and I've been dividing my time between there, work and home.....needless to say I'm a little frazzled! Good news though she is getting better and hopefully will be dismissed real soon!<br />
It's pressing on towards Easter and I've not got ANY pics posted....believe me it's on my to do list!

Whew!!! Crazy weather here in the Midwest lately! Last week:sleet and now SNOW! Oh, well another snow day. We went out to build an actual snowman NOT a sleetman. LOL! The boys had a great time and it wasn't too cold either. The snow is melting rather fast so I don't know exactly how long "Bob" (the snowman) will stick around.<br />
Well, I have to tell you all that I absolutley love my kitchen counter tops. My sister is already biting at the bit to come and take a gander in person. I'm hoping to convice her to try it out...or maybe I should do them for her :)<br />
Next project is going to be bead board on the ceiling and my new light fixtures up....gotta get my husband in gear or learn to run a power saw....hmmmm....might be a good idea! Then I'm going to paint the kitchen and move on to the next room. I LOVE doing this kind of thing. Anyway, I'll keep ya posted!<br />

Have I been busy or what??? I can't believe it's already February! The weather here has been absolutely CCCCRRRAAAZZZYYY! It was in the 70's just a couple of days ago and now it's barely reaching the 30's :( So many people have been sick with various crud --it's enough to make one stay in and hibernate! HEY...that being said it's not such a bad idea...picture this: a warm fire, a good book, a soft blanket...yeah, definitely leaning towards hibernation!<br />
Well, I am sooo excited because today I orderd some countertop paint from Giani Granite. I've been wanting to try this out as it looks fantastic in the pics. I will have to do some before and after pics! Slowly, remodeling the kitchen...just need to get my husband onboard to do his part! and yet, I'm totally up for learning how to use a power saw...just saying!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947352055066942588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820793245706361144.post-80218306545413055962013-01-23T21:41:00.001-06:002013-01-23T21:41:49.859-06:00<img border="0" src="http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/CamilleBeckstrand/button3copy.jpg" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947352055066942588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820793245706361144.post-41809772189244280652013-01-23T13:28:00.001-06:002013-01-23T13:28:54.869-06:00<img alt="playing with words 365" src="http://www.playingwithwords365.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/PWWblogbuttonaug2012small.png" title="playing with words 365" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947352055066942588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820793245706361144.post-84951023883909092602013-01-23T10:06:00.000-06:002013-01-23T10:06:05.637-06:00Good morning friends! have another lead on a giveaway!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Started out with a basic black frame from Wal-Mart</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then picked out a background color from book of scrapbook paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spray painted letter P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hot glued letter to glass on frame</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Voila!!!!</div>
Well, finally got my baby Peyton project done! I got the idea off from Pinerest (of course)! I think it turned out real cute and my niece can change out the background to match whatever decor color she decides she likes. How is everyone's New Year going? Any resolutions this year? I have quite a few personal "changes" I want to achieve this year...hopefully I haven't taken on More Than Bargained For hehehe :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947352055066942588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820793245706361144.post-54858829414184968342013-01-02T10:57:00.001-06:002013-01-02T10:57:35.005-06:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Okay....so I cleaned up my desk area the best I can. I don't have an "office" just a space in my living room to keep my work stuff. I don't have a lot of fancy smancy office stuff either. Sooooo....I just went with what I've got. The result satifies me and that's a lot!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947352055066942588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820793245706361144.post-27067292667703799612012-12-30T16:07:00.001-06:002012-12-30T16:07:47.478-06:00The year 2012 is winding down friends! I came across a quote and am posting it to my blog today:<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> "....we wear our busyness as a badge of honor, as though being busy, by itself, was an accomplishment or a sign of superior life. Is it?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"> -Dieter F. Uchtdorf</span><br />
<br />
mmmmmmm.....food for thought huh?<br />
I don't know about you but I tend to get caught up in the busyness this life has to offer. I challenge you, in this new year, to take the time and smell the roses...it's amazine what it can do for the soul!<br />

Hey all! Just came across this cool new contest going on over at A Bowl Full of Lemons! I just was writing on how I want to become more organized and now this....Wow! What an incentive! Check out the blog for the rules and prizes! I'm definitely in....how about you?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947352055066942588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820793245706361144.post-65475256591959793782012-12-29T15:09:00.000-06:002012-12-29T15:09:12.510-06:00Whew! Finally got the Christmas decorations and trees down. Why is it always more fun putting it up than taking it down? The weather has warmed up here again with the sun shining brightly today! Always when January hits, I begin to think about Spring and what I want to plant in my gardens this year! I'm already getting the seed catalogs in the mail....<br />
Well, I've got my budget figured out for the new year...the hubby and I are embarking on this get out of debt thing this year. He has promised to stick to the budget plan and you better bet I'm holding him to it!<br />
I've also been planning the whole organization thing this year. I'm going to start with the kitchen and work my way through the house. I'll be posting before and after photos when the process gets started! Can't wait to have an organized home :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947352055066942588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820793245706361144.post-47151529579864836142012-12-26T07:29:00.001-06:002012-12-26T07:29:26.486-06:00A very Merry Christmas!Well, folks....another Christmas come and gone! It was a busy day with hopes of a white Christmas but, alas the snow didn't make it. We had a feast with family at my daughter's house with lots of laughter, debates, and sometimes arguments :) Pretty much a typical family gathering for us! I thank God for sending us His Son and I thank Jesus for loving us so much that He gave up His life so we could have access to the Father and an eternal life in Heaven. <br />

I'm new to the blogging world! I am going to try and include many different topics on my blog, thus the reference to more than I bargained for title. I know that the holidays are upon us, but I have been planning for the New Year by reading some of A Bowl Full of Lemons postings. <a href="http://www.abowlfulloflemons.net/">http://www.abowlfulloflemons.net/</a>. If you are in need of some serious organizing tips, please check it out! I've got to tell you, I am inspired! I plan on using this blog to post some DIY projects, recipes, weight loss tips (I am going to try clean eating starting January 1). I don't know....we'll see how it all evolves!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947352055066942588noreply@blogger.com0
