rolling in laughter

So I was running this week and saw THIS sign and just about LOST it!!!! I think too much like a guy . LOL. I had to go back and get a picture of it the next day as part of my "to do" list. I still think it is soooo funny.

I don't even know what to title this...

So as I as buzzing across blogs while bored at work I came across this one.....

http://www.faboverfifty.com/content/women-over-50-marry-off-your-single-kids

its a site for women to put their single kids up for marriage auction of sorts.... It is a good thing my mom isn't computer savey. lol

SLightly new hair

SO I got a few highlights put in the very front o my hair. When I first gottem...I didn't like them. But I figured what the hey..they will grow out. Now they are growing on me. I took this picture while bored at work.

Quote o day

TOdays quote o day comes from my dove wrapper.....because it perfectly justifies who I am.....


"A PESSIMIST IS REALLY AN OPTIMIST WITH EXPERIENCE."

ADORable

Ran across this little website with these adorable pictures from weddings. Not that i am plannin anything, I just love the simple beauty of these ones. You can follow the sausage link page on the right to the dandeliongrey (gorgeous country pictures) I also got some from

Tec Petaja Photography ...one of her links.

The new day job

So here is how the day job I made up for myself is going. Here is the B4 of the mirror I got for an unbelievable price!!

And here is the after!!!!

And here is the spacious inside! This thing is beautiful and HUGE!! Kinda makes me covet it since mine is not that big. But I kept it a neutral color so I could sell it. If it were me it would me much brighter!!!

B4 and AFTER and now for Sale

SO here is the b4 of the coffee table I bought to paint and sale for a little side moola.

ANd HERE is the after!!

SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST!!!

SO of COURSE I had to save my BEST for my last!! Here is the chair that I love...almost done! I seriously sang the song " You are so beautiful" to it while I painted it. I am most proud of this project.
HEre is the b4/primer stage



HERe is the AFTER!!!


I am really proud of how well I distressed it.


SO I had to add a couple pictures of the detail to show off. I am just so excited that I can finally paint things to look OLD! ANd of course I went with the turquoise because I already had it and since I am cutting back on my work hours I figure I shouldn't spend more money. And I am really glad i went turquoise!

So here are a few things that I bought and I am working on painting and selling. Here is the coffee table I got. Very cute and chic.


Here is the primed stage. Color soon to come.


Here is the jewelry box/mirror I bought for a STEAL! (Sadly it is bigger than mine). So here is the ugly stage I bought it in.


Here is the primer stage. Color soon to come!!
Any color suggestions? I am still very open to what color I got with.

Growing

So here is the garden now. Growing quite well.

HEre is a little dilly I stole while peeking over the fence at our neighbors garden. They had string strung from metal posts. I was so excited I ran right into the garage and found my roomies painting sticks. I drilled holes into them to string the sting and Wallla!! They are doing much better.

ANd my Dahlia FINALLY bloomed!! I am so excited. But kinda sad that it isn't a two toned as I wish.

Here is the peonies that we once had and have since gone their way. I can never get over the bud in top o the picture. Its amazing that that thing can hold such a huge flower. It is just bursting at the seams!!

My love

And here is the chair that I am SOOOOO in love with. So in love that I drove to Provo to get it during traffic!!! If that isn't love a first sight I don't know what is! So it is just primed now but the beauty can not be withheld from this thing!! Color? I still need sugggestions/votes.

Another gotta do it
