Dress up and take a walk!!




Where does the time go? I mean honestly, I feel like this is the time of year when I need to start saying "It's almost Christmas".....well maybe I'm being overly dramatic. However, it is prom season and since I was a little more involved in that sort of thing this year (insert photo of handsome son) it made me feel a bit under dressed for life. Who decides what is considered a special occasion in your life and what is considered the appropriate method for celebrating such occasion?

I've never been one to get "all dolled up" and prance around.....actually I used to vomit when my mother made me wear dresses to school (so I've been told) but I'm starting to have a change of heart.

I say wear whatever you want when you want and do it with reckless abandon. So go forth all, and celebrate the simple as you would the monumental! Get those high heels, black ties and bling....cause dangit, YOU HAVE SOME MEDIOCRE ERRANDS TO RUN!!!

Tacky Yard Art

I get sooo excited when warm weather comes along. I just want to stay outside put my hands in the dirt and plant as many things as I can. I'm also in love with yard sales and I usually purchase the obscure items no one else seems to care about. For instance, clear Christmas ornaments, left over paint, a sticker maker and bowling balls. Oh yes, that's right, bowling balls. In trying to keep with my (unspoken) promise to produce more crafts and use things I already have. I made some fun garden art yesterday and here is the result.
I purchased some colored glass discs from the Dollar Tree and commenced to gluing.
Don't worry, I had supervision while using the hot glue gun. I still have one bowling ball left. Any ideas?
