Crafty Decorator shares her new craft room. I love all the open storage and all the fun containers she uses to keep it organized.

I love this bunting lantern I found at Soap Deli News. You can find the full tutorial for it at You Had Me at Bonjour. Isn’t it so cute and perfect for a party?

This buffet painted by Light of the Home is perfect in every way. I adore it!

I wish I still had a little girl so I could make this for her. Amy at Him and Her made an adorable lemonade stand. It makes me want to hunt it down and buy some lemonade.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Home Decor and Organizing Link Party. Don’t forget to join again this Wednesday and if you were featured don’t forget to grab a featured button.

Sunday- Our Ward is working on a service project to make teddy bears for some kids in Guatemala. I cut out some of the bears today. Some others are going to stuff and sew them. The Young Women are going to be taking them to girls camp to finish them up by sewing on their eyes, nose, and mouth. We made some bunnies too.

Monday- Memorial Day! It was a pretty cold and rainy day with a few patches of sunshine here and there. We went to cemetery and brought flowers to Lyn and Jody’s grave. We’ve been wanting to have a picnic but the weather just wasn’t cooperating so we had an indoor picnic in the living room. We spread 2 blankets out on the floor, watched Gnomeo & Juliet, and ate KFC. The kids thought it was really fun.

Tuesday- Ammon plays baseball on Tuesday and Thursday. He loves playing catcher but his coach puts him on 1st or 3rd base a lot. This is his first year of machine pitch. He’s getting better. He hits most of them now and he loves running the bases.

Wednesday- Zach plays baseball on Wednesday and Friday. This is his 6th season playing baseball. He really loves it. He’s playing 3rd base in this picture and he’s on the Angels this year.

Thursday- I had my hair cut and colored today. I love having my hair done. Heidi is my hair stylist and she’s amazing. She gives the best head massages too. I think I almost fall asleep every time I’m in her chair. Isn’t she cute. If you live in Syracuse, she’s at Mild to Wild. Tell her I sent you.

Friday- Today is Amanda and Emilee’s last day of school. Yay for them. Boo for the boys. Since we’re on year round school the boys still have a month of school left. I know I’ve said this before but I dispise year round school. The girls had a great last day. Actually Amanda never went to school today. She had a sleepover at our house last night with a few friends and then ate breakfast at another friends house this morning. Emilee went to school to get her yearbook then went to lunch and watched a movie at a friend’s house.

Saturday- Today was the big yard sale. It was so busy all day. Whitney and Ty came over to sell a few things and helped the whole day. We sold so much stuff and I made my money goal. I’m excited to start making some improvements on our home with the money. We still have quite a bit left and there’s more I want to sell so I’ll be having another yard sale in a couple weeks. We were really tired after the sale so we vegged for a while, ate dinner, and made smores. It was such a nice day. Oh, hubby, Ty, Zach, and Emilee went golfing in the afternoon too.

Friday Favorites #4

June 3, 2011

This is where I recognize posts throughout blogland that have caught my eye, inspired me, or motivated me in some way. I have 2 picnic blankets I love. I bought them, I didn’t make them. But one thing I don’t love about them is trying to keep them on the ground while picnicking. Beckie at [...]

Not What I Had Planned For Today

May 31, 2011

It’s been one of those days. When it rains, it pours. Literally, in my basement. And guess where the most water ended up? That’s right, in my yard sale area. After taking all the dry boxes off the pile I was left with all the wet boxes on the bottom. So I went through the [...]
