Look I Blogged!!! (and some other fun stuffs)

Another 4 months have come and gone and I've decided to meander back to my little blog.

**sigh**

Why can't I seem to get my shtuffs together?

Anyhow~ No more excuses. I've ran out of them anyway. I've decided I'll just blog when I can, and if 4, 6, or even 8 months pass, I will just Let. It. Be.

Sounds good to me!

(Maybe if I spent less time on Pinterest, I'd have more time to spend on my blog.... Just a thought :)

On that note:

I was browsing my favorite blogs when I came across this post on C.R.A.F.T.

(I love C.R.A.F.T. ! That is where I won my extra Silhouette!)

Package Pals?

Yup!

Here is how it works:

~You submit a form on C.R.A.F.T. by Sunday, March 25th.
~The first 100 people will be paired with a PP friend through email by March 30th.
~Send your PP a crafty homemade gift in a package by April 28th.

I mean, who doesn't like getting packages in the mail?

I know I do! That's why I've submitted my form!

I'm super excited!

Go submit to get a PP and join in the fun!

LUVS!

Thrifty Finds

Goodness!

I feel like I'm brand new to the blogging world again! Remind me never take that long of a break from my blog ever again!

Well, I don't have a finished project to share today, but I did spend the morning hitting up some Gee-Double-Yuhs and garage sales with my mom.

Here are a few little treasures I found today:




How much? Less than $13.00!

What do you think? Some sanding, spray paint and a little love... they'll be all prettified again!

I haven't nailed down exactly what to do with them yet. Any suggestions?

Here I am!

Were you looking for me?

I've been looking for myself, I think.

This is probably the longest blogging break I've ever taken.

The last 6 months have been one whirlwind after another:

~New house
~Moving
~New school
~Working more
~Being a mom
~A bunch of other stuffs I won't bother you about...

And quite frankly, I think I lost the passion for blogging for a little bit. I didn' t even check in on other blogs, so I'm a bit behind.

Now that things have settled down a bit, I think I'm ready to jump back in.

I've been working on some stuff I can't wait to share with you!

Here's a little sneak peek:



See you soon!~

Happy Mother's Day!

(I've used this before, but I thought it was worth repeating... Have a lovely Mother's Day!)

To all the wonderful, inspiring, selfless, and loving women I know:

". . .Dear women, I say thanks to you. Thank you for being the kind of people you are and doing the things you do. May the blessings of heaven rest upon you. May your prayers be answered and your hopes and dreams become realities. . .May you live with love one for another. May you reach down to lift up those whose burdens are heavy. May you bring light and beauty to the world and particularly into your homes and into the lives of your children. . . You may never know how much good you accomplish. Someone's life will be blessed by your effort. . . "
~President Gordon B. Hinckley

Finally! (PLUS my newest and biggest project!!!)

Heavens to Betsy!!!

367.

Yep.

That's how many posts I have to catch up on in Google reader.

Obviously, I haven't been on the computer in a while.

Why you ask?

Here's why:


Yessiree! That's our new home! It's been a long time comin' but we finally signed the closing documents on Friday. I'm hoping to get the keys this week so we can start painting and patching and makin' it ours!

I'll be taking a ton of pictures of the process, so hopefully I have some fun stuff to share with you all!

Until later~
