The HOME DEPOT

Since moving here...we have discovered the Saturday workshops that Home Depot offers the first Saturday of every month.  They are pretty awesome.  I always double check what they are building and this past month we built...RACE CARS!  How stinkin' awesome is that!  A free toy and a free hour of fun...I'm all over it...oh and did I mention...it is FREE!

Wacky Vacation Wear Wednesday

I love love love to dress up!  For homecoming my Senior year, my great friend and I even got crowned spirit royalty :)  Pretty fun...so dress up day at Tracen's school?  What?  I told him to go for it...here is what he came up with for Wacky Vacation Wear Wednesday this week!  We took these pictures next to his actual-size self tracing (I don't know what else to call it) but he was sick when they colored them...You can't see very well, but his mini-me has on a jersey and basketball shorts...Air Jordan.  Ha!

Pinning on Pinterest

I vowed not to join Pinterest for a number of reasons
including but definitely not limited to

time waster
my addictive personality
never ending projects
my uncontrollable love for crafting and diy projects
no money to do all said projects with
and the list could continue forever.

But I finally gave in when I wanted to start looking for ideas on how to do our master bedroom.  And I have kept myself under control for the most part and I justify my pinning to the fact that I used to book mark millions of sites to go back to later and recreate their amazing diy projects...seriously...it was an issue...Chris was always yelling at me about the tool bar being cluttered with diy blogs.  Ha!

Now that I have been pinning, I have made a goal to accomplish/work on at least 2 or 3 pins a week or I don't pin more...so for my sister's b-day, I made this using this tutorial with my own style on her techniques.  Don't worry, I will be making many more...especially for my master bedroom when the time is right!
