You may remember this guy. He was a bargain-find in one of my usual places. :)
As you can see, I've been working on him to get him ready before the holidays creep up on me.
Instead of painting him white, I went with more of a creme, neutral color. It think it really highlights the detailed legs.
So far, he has been painted, and I am waiting for the gloss top coat to dry.
Hopefully, I'll have a picture for you soon!
:) Enjoy.
This week I was so excited to get on Craigslist and find someone who was getting rid of (free) two trunks. They didn't post a picture nor dimensions, but that's ok. I love a good project. :)
Needless to say, I contacted the seller immediately and received a quick response.
Could it be one of these?
You KNOW what I did next! I envisioned these trunks in so many places!
* Perhaps storage in the garage?
* Perhaps storage in the extra bedroom filled with pretty linens?
* Perhaps an accent under one of the windows with a warm blanket?
* Perhaps a coffee table in my living room with some scented candles?
So many choices! I couldn't wait to get them home so I quickly emailed the seller and asked when I could go and get them.
This is what I got in response:
Did you miss it? Yep, me too. They didn't respond. Bummer. So now I have trunks on the brain, with no trunks.
Enjoy the weekend. :
I love this site! They provide *free* passes to movie screenings. You just register and enter your zip code to find what's coming near you.
Just for fun, I entered a Dallas zip code and they had 3 showings! Unfortunately, I don't live in Dallas (anymore), so I can't see Ninja Assassin. Bummer.
However, in my neck-of-the-woods, they are showing The Blind Side and it looks so good. :)
Once you register, you should search for RSVP codes (I use google). The screening passes print right from your computer, and you get 2 for each screening. Hello date night!
I would pair this with a gift certificate from restaurant.com, where you can get a $50 dinner for $20/25 and off you go to an inexpensive night to remember!
Register today! It's well worth it! And no, I don't get anything for this endorsement.
From their website:

Enjoy! :)
Unfortunately, there are not any project updates. Instead, we laid around with the puppies.
Hopefully this week will be more productive!
:) Enjoy
Yep, you heard right! It's my first giveaway and I'm super excited!
Since this is my first giveaway, I wanted it to be something special and unique. So, I scouted a few neat items at the St. James Art Fair (back in October) and finally settled on something that I, myself, would like to have (and of course I bought one for me too).
Enough talk. Let's get to the good stuff- the jewelry giveaway!
That's right! My first giveaway is jewelry! Specifically, a custom necklace with a real butterfly wing from PhbeaD. Don't worry, no butterflies were hurt during this process. The wing is encased in soft plastic with a sterling silver chain.
Ready to Enter?
Last night, the boy and I went to this:
For someone, such as me, who has not seen the movie, it was a great starter!
At one point during the play, the littlest was dressed in so much clothing that he could barely move. Needless to say it was hilarious!
Are you seeing any plays this season?
Enjoy! :)
Yesterday, I asked about something on her inspiration calendar and she responded via blog! Now that's customer service!
For November, I'm going to keep my goals relatively simple, and try not to over-do it. (You know how that goes...)
Personal Development:
1. Continue to use coupons, and search out good deals.
2. Make a new recipe and blog it.
Clean, Organize, Decorate:
1. Move sofa table into family room.
2. List a few items on ebay.
Class:
1. Continue to read and complete assignments.
What are your November goals?
Enjoy! :)
Yesterday morning, the boy made Paula Deen's omelet. Wow oh wow!
It was melt in my mouth good! He added tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese, and bacon.
What a great start to a Sunday!
Omelet:
* 1/4 cup tomatoes
*1/4 cup mushrooms
*1/4 cup bacon (cooked, crisp)
*1/4 cup cheese
* 3 eggs
* pinch salt and pepper
1. Bring 4 cups water to boil on stove.
2. Add eggs to bowl and scramble.
3. Put eggs in a zip lock baggie, along with tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, salt/pepper, and cheese. Shake to mix.
4. Close/seal bag and place into boiling water on stove. Make sure water covers the bag. Add more water if needed.
5. Cook for 6-10 minutes, or until eggs set.
6. Remove bag from water and let sit for 1 minute.
7. Remove omelet from bag and enjoy.
I think I might make this ahead of time and leave in the fridge overnight for a quick, healthly breakfast.
Enjoy! :)
October wasn't too bad, although I think I had too many goals, especially with taking two classes! Whew!
Personal Development:
1. Revise budget, add more saving, less spending.- This wasn't easy, but definitely worthwhile.
2. Try a new recipe and blog-it.- I made Baked Ranch Chicken, with success!
3. Read "The How To of Happiness."- This was actually an interesting book, and I'm glad I read it.
Professional Development:
1. Apply for more jobs with my new degree.- I did apply for at least 2.
2. Read "Never Check Email in the Morning."- Unfortunately, I wasn't able to complete this goal. My classes have really eaten my time.
Clean/Organization/Decorate:
1. Return garage items to rightful owners (really).- I returned most of the items, but there have been other items added to the garage. Just when I think it's over...
2. Paint twin bed.- Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to this.
Travel:
1. Take a day trip to local museum or park.- I visited a local museum to see their collection of weapons, both new and old.
Class:
1. Finish final paper (of graduate career).- I had hoped to be further along than I really am, but that's not the case.
