Christmas Decorations, 2009 style
Here’s our Christmas tree this year-
We put it up in our little “sitting room” area.
Our tree used to be in this corner in front of the window. Now we have three little trees!
Here’s a view of the mantle.
This is what we look at when we are on the couch.
I am really really happy how it [...]
project: organize closet completed!
About two weeks ago I saw a photo posted by Amanda at Slow Like Honey on flickr of her closet to be organized. I too have been putting off organizing mine and thought,”This is ENOUGH! I NEED AN ORGANIZING CHALLENGE!!!”
Why?
-because I too needed to clean out my closet (duh)
-because I felt like I [...]
new obsession: terrariums!
I’ve been wanting to make some for awhile. I’ve seen TONS and TONS of images of them on the ‘net. I made today “MAKE A TERRARIUM” day. Why did I wait so long to do so?
I found a nice lil tutorial over here at designsponge. It’s awesome! I had no idea how easy it was [...]
i caught the organizing bug!
started off by cleaning out my pantry this weekend.
Here’s what it looked like BEFORE:

Also, I FINALLY put up my Blythe collection. They have been sitting in a container [...]

halloween is in the air!
I was anticipating that I wouldn’t get the opportunity to decorate my house for Halloween this year since I have a little sprout on the way…but since I’m on maternity leave I was able to get the mantle done and a few things put up around the house.
There’s one week left til baby is “expected” [...]
the “reveal”
For all of you that know me…it’s obvious why I wouldn’t like this kitchen right? I am a high contrast- B&W with bold colors type of person. I am not a warm tone….autumn colored person. I consider a panda my “power” animal for obvious reasons- because not only are they cute, but [...]
one project knocked down….millions more to go
In preparation of the bebe, I’ve decided to get a bunch of stuff done around the house that I have MAJORLY procrastinated on.
I finally put up all the frames I had sitting around in my craft room on the wall in the living room!
I started out by taking inventory of the frames:
Then I [...]
