I'm glad!!

I'm glad that I realize I'm not perfect...I don't do perfect things and my projects NEVER turn out perfect. I am glad that I am ok w/ that and that is just PERFECT!!

Don't LEAF!!!

Today I woke up at 7:53 and had to be at work at 8:00. What a wild morning!! There was frost on my car this morning and almost all the leaves have fallen and are dry and crunchy. I thought I'd save a few this afternoon!

I used a small votive candle and melted it in a throw away pie tin. Easy clean up is the key!

Dipped and layed flat. They turned out so BEAUTIFUL and leathery!! Can't wait to hang them!!

Check out this blog for some YUMMY pictures!! Happy Fall Ya'll!!

Salvation

Today I was up had my flu shot and mopped the bathroom and had a load of wash washing before I could even blink. Then I sat down to check out KSL.com (Utah's Craigslist.com) I saw this little lady for FREE!! ROAD TRIP!!

***Note this is a headboard not a cupboard (Bentley)!

While I was in the area I picked up this darling at the Salvation Army for a dime!!

and this for 3.00.


Now I need a nap!!

Thanks!

Today while drive'n down the free way I looked up to see an older man in his camo standing on an over pass. He was holding a HUGE flag and waving w/ a smile on his face. He was glad today was his day!! Thanks to all the veterans who have made my home a free place!!

Green Christmas

Although I have a love hate relationsip w/ "my" library lately (namely because a cute dog I know keeps on tasting my library books) I found this "so fun" book that I must share. It has cute creative and simple gifts, decor and food.




It comes in paper back here (cheaper) or better yet ask your library to order it!! Merry Christmas!!
