More on decorating porches.....

Funny story! So all of us girls love to go thrifting together and sometimes end up with other people things in our cars. I found these cute plastic diamonds in a sack and was so excited to do something fun with them, I couldnt quite remember where I had gotten them- but with all the junk I buy, I just thought "yay a treasure I've forgotten about!" I spray painted them cream and was positioning them in my wreath, the WHOLE time asking my lil sis's opinion! She just helped and gushed about how cute they were......... The next day my mom told me they were hers! She was just to embarrassed and to NICE to tell me!! Anyhow..... I love the lock and key motif, especially on my front door. Thanks Tay for letting me steal your cute decor...... ;)

Almost over.....

So the thing I dread; the thing that I can't wait for to end; the thing that leaves me exhausted at the thought of all the homework and deadlines and running....... School! Now I find myself sad looking at my bulletin board. Seeing all the beautiful art work my kids have made. The art made out of time well spent, a little piece of them left behind for me to treasure.... Wow, another year almost done. I find myself wishing ( just a little ) that I could go back and do a little more for each of them. Did I do all I could? But the feeling of a warm summer and the time I get to spend with each of them brings me hope and rejuvenates my thoughts to move forward- Sunshine here we come! Make no regrets for the few months of warmth that comes, for another year is just around the corner.

My new boyfriends makeover.......

I finally got my buffet painted and put some decos on top! I painted it cream using a high gloss for a little extra shine. I added water to thin out my paint just a tich, I'm loving the results!

These frames are old cardboard frames they use to get with pictures. I found them at a second hand store. I removed all the old pictures and replaced them with my own. Although I have to admit I can't bring myself to throw away the others! They are someones family! Any ideas? .......any how... I used the books for some color, and I'm loving my little gallery of photos.

Especially this hunka, macho, cutie soldier man! Who are you handsome? I tried to get my sister to hang him on her fridge (because I'm married and I didn't know if it was inappropriate to have some unknown cute guy hanging on my own?) she wouldn't do it! I for sure can't let go of this one...... Can I? Let me know how you like the buffet! -B
