Mostly I don't!

Yep I took this picture at the thrift store.

The lamp is about 4 feet tall and super ugly!

 

 



Look Up!

 

 

My friend Erin gave me a PRIVATE home tour

the other day and some produce!

I didn't bring my camera! DARN IT!!

(I'll have to go back!) Next time I'll take one of her cute girls home

w/ me! So cute! Along w/ her girls Erin's house is DARLING!

She has some ceilings she is working on though and that got me to thinking!

What are some fun options for ceilings?? Hmmmm!

 

Wall Paper!

 

 

Bead Board!

 

 

Stenciled!

 

 

Stripes!!

 

 

Book Pages!!

 



 

Pallets?!

 

 

The sky (or the ceiling) is the limit!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Ten Cents!

 

This my friend is my favorite

yard sale find this weekend.

 

*I also got 4 brand new GAP dress pants for a

QUARTER each!

 

*A few other odds and ends found their way into my life too!

Have you used Dr. Bronner's soap!? You should!

 

Happy Summer! (Still?)

 

 

  

 

 

 

Today while at the Dr's office w/ a resident.

I heard them call "Heather Robinson" on the over head speaker.

I thought "wait how do they know I am here!"

(I know my name isn't Robinson but usually it is said that way!)

I walked toward the nurse who called my name and so did another girl.

I then turned around an walked away.

There is a girl in my tiny town who has

a name just (kinda) like mine. It was so funny!!

And strangely weird!!

My Morning @ the Temple!

 

 

 

 

The other day I woke up at the crack of dawn to volunteer

at the temple! It was not "fun" but a GREAT experience!

Here is what I learned and saw!

 

 

*I met and saw people from all over the world!

*I watched the reminder to "Lift where you stand!" Put into practice!

Even if you can only lift a little it makes a difference!

*I love to people watch!

*Tiny people hate shoe covers!

*The parking garage is HOT!!

*Mormons know how to dress! I saw so many cute clothes and shoes!

*I saw people from all walks of life.

*I knew a lot of people were coming but I was shocked at the

masses of people. Every few minutes a new bus would unload.

*Water is priceless when I am sweating to death!

*People were polite and kind even when their was a huge bottle neck.

*The teenagers I worked w/ were hard workers, happy and so glad to be there.

There is hope for the future.

*No matter where you are there is someone to talk to and a friend to make!

 

Happy Summer!

My sister called last night to see if I

had any idea about what to do w/ our

niece's for the last day of summer!

I told her I'd put on my thinking cap and get back to her

Nowa days my thinking cap looks a lot

like Google. What did we do before Google?

I happened on this site! I love sites like hers!

It lead me to this site!

Which in turn led me here!

I had lots of suggestions for my sister.

Hyrum Dam being the winner in my book.

Herms's Inn looks like a winner in my book!

A must see I dare say!

Happy Summer! 

I wonder!!

I got LOST!

I get lost a lot! It usta freak me out

but now I find it an adventure!

(unless I am LATE for something!)

I can always un lose my self by going

 toward the mountains! 

This little house is intriguing.

Who lived here?

Where were they from?

Did they make the adobe brick that line

their walls? How did they know how?

Why was this location chosen?

Were there children in this home?

The roof reminds me of a thatched

roof in England!

I love that the windows and

door are perfectly centered.

Had I had on proper foot wear and a large ditch

w/ cat tales didn't loom in the foreground,I

would have taken a closer look.

I love old. It makes me wonder!

Today

I got to go IN here!

They asked us not to take photos inside.

You'll have to take my word for it..It was

Wonderfully Beautiful!

I felt the power of Gods love while walking the temples hallowed halls!



I think this guy sitting across the street was jealous!

Wouldn't you be?

Craft Lake City Adventure!

Was HOT!! So hot I had a sweat mustache nearly the whole time.

So hot the soles of my feet were hot! I brought a jug of water

and nearly drunk the WHOLE thing! SO HOT!!

But fun!

The year was 2002! The place Salt Lake City!

The event? A metals ceremony at the winter

Olympics! I watched w/ my hand on my heart

the American flag being raised and a person getting

a  gold metal! Seriously POWERFUL!!

*I was so cold I nearly died.

*Bob Sagget was there.

*I think Steve Young was too!

*I had hand warmers in my shoes and

on my hands!

*I saw my first digital camera!

*Dave Matthews was there and

we had free tickets to his concert!

*It was SOOO COLD!!

*It was foggy on the way home!

*Athletes abound!

*Media had scared away the average Joe! Pity!
*My baby sister my side kick!



Ping!

It is so hot! I am tired of hot!

I thrifted a stack of the cute

rhyming cards below!

(only one pictured!)

Love it!

Look at Ms. Honeybee's house! She has school

decor in every corner! I bet she was an A+ student!!

I rented the book below from the library and LOVE it!!

You totally need to check this one out!

When the weather cools I'll be a

Concrete Master!

I NEED one of these heart shapped stepping stones!

(from the book!)

OOOoo Look the book has a blog!!

I just made Zukkinni (I know) Bread!

Better go taste test it!!

Happy Summer!



Us crafty folks like to be around other crafty folks it seems!

Last year I went to Craft Lake City! It wasn't what I expected. I expected mommy

bloggers and what not. It was the more of a  hippy/punkie w/ a couple mommy bloggers

(maybe!) kinda shin dig! There was lots to see and it was BLOOM'N hot but really intresting!

I love a person who can sell their goods. Talent a bounds and people are happy.

Go and bring a big glassa water!

The last of my vacation pictures!!

"To listen and to pray".

So in a few short days my temple will open to

ANYONE for tours!

Come, visit, take a 'look see'! It is
BEAUTIFUL!

I may even be the person handing you

blue booties to wear while you look at this

wonder smack dab in the center or my tiny town!

It really is a
Modern Day Miracle!
And I am happy and willing to share!!
