Antique Shopping

IMG_4649_edit

A couple of weeks ago, when the weather was gorgeous and the sun was shining…

IMG_4656

I wore flip-flops, painted my toe-nails, and took a trip to the antique store.

IMG_4652

I love old holiday postcards-and the color of this bowl. 

IMG_4653

I love these late 60s (and 1970) dress patterns.  The woman tried to get me to buy 2 tubs full of them for $5.00, but I don’t know WHAT I would  do with all of those! 

IMG_4654

And I love the photo of this house.

IMG_4655

And I love that the house has a name. 

Happy Vintage Shopping-have a great Tuesday!

Around the House

IMG_4747_edit2

I love tulips this time of year! 

IMG_4762

So beautiful and Easter-y!

IMG_4727

There has been a lot of this (Mario Kart Racing) on the Wii.

IMG_4729

Complaining about reading (I wish I knew where this came from…it certainly didn’t come from this side of the family!)

IMG_4730

Watching as rain turned to snow on Saturday morning!

IMG_4670 

and Scrapbooking for Elizabeth’s graduation album.  Although really, what I have been doing is more like Scrap-Lifting.  Thanks to all of the wonderfully talented people out there and all of the fantastic classes that I have taken over the last year-the album is slowly but surely getting finished.  I did take a break on Sunday to play some Donkey Kong Country Returns.  So fun and frustrating! 

Hope you had a productive and wonderful weekend.   

Happy Monday!

William-Up Close

IMG_4665

I don’t get a lot of photos of William.  Mostly because he either gives me a look that could freeze boiling water, or because he is downstairs a lot. 

IMG_4663

I love that he let me take 3 successive photos of him.  And that all 3 turned out. 

IMG_4664

I think it helped that he knows that he looks really good in the sweatshirt. 

Also-he is really smart and uses the algorithms to solve the Rubik’s cube. 

IMG_4666

And then…there is this one.  Isn’t she cute? 

IMG_4667

I think she is ready and not ready for Prom.  Just like I am ready and not ready for graduation.  Breathe…

Happy Thursday!!

“…And then I realized these are the days of OUR lives.”

IMG_0196

Ewizabiff and Raggers (Matt’s pupper). She is super adorable and sweet(:

IMG_0202

Ewizabiff is happy to have her bestie Kassietron back. She sure missed her a lot:( This is the picture they took together of them matching.

IMG_0166

Elizabeth’s wonderful boyfwiend Matt. He is such a sweetheart to her.

IMG_0169IMG_0183IMG_0170

This is what Elizabeth’s Spring Break of Senior Year consisted of. Hanging out with Matt’s bestie Frerick and hanging out with Matt, taking goofy pictures and being adorable together<3

Even though I’ve been through a lot of tough things this year and a lot of things have sucked, it’s also been one of the best years of school I have ever had. I have had so much fun with Matt and his friends and my friends and just doing crazy stuff teenagers do. Spend overs, going to see Matt at work, working with Tara, hanging out with Tara and her family, hanging out with Kassandra, making some new friends, driving around listening to music, going to the park, and just doing everything I can while I still can. This year has been full of so many new experiences for me and it has changed the person I used to be, I’ve become a new me and I really like the way she is turning out. My life is finally starting to make sense and I know that no matter what happens in my future I will make it through because I am a strong, independent woman, and I can do anything I want and turn my life into whatever I want it to be. A great journey awaits me soon and I’m going to make the most out of every step through this that I can because I may not know where it will end, but I promise I’m going to love every moment of it on the way there.

Sunday Afternoon 4/3

IMG_4573

Elizabeth is playing Donkey Kong Country on the Wii.  {I LOVE this game.}

IMG_4574

IMG_4591

Found on my camera today.  (She was practicing stealing using my new eyeshadows…)

IMG_4546

Keeping my husband busy…

IMG_4568_edit

So I can take photos of myself…

IMG_4548_edit

And photos of my family…

IMG_4511_edit

Love this corner ever since I painted the kitchen.

IMG_4435_edit

Elizabeth got roses from Matt.  So I had to take some photos.  {Because I won’t let my husband spend that kind of money anymore Smile}

I had originally planned to post this last Wednesday, but I came down with the flu Wednesday and was out for a couple days. 

I am feeling much better now. 

Happy Monday!!

SheArt Girl 4

IMG_4497

Over the weekend, I worked on Girl number 4.  I started this background when class started.  And then I didn’t like it, so I just let it sit around. 

But the longer it sat around, the more it started to grow on me.  Then I got some new Prima stamps and I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Enjoy!!

IMG_4501

I love butterflies.

IMG_4493

IMG_4494

I also love Spring!

A Love Hate Kind of Week

IMG_0334

These photos are from last week. 

We started the week with the photo above.

IMG_0345_edit

And (luckily) we ended the week with this. 

Ahhh….good times here at the house of the 3 teenagers…

And since Elizabeth’s senior prom is coming up at the end of the month-might as well share a photo from Junior year-the only year I went to prom, circa 1990. 

Peace Out-Happy Monday!
