Covergirl celebrates 50!

Covergirl is celebrating 50 years! Wow!

I remember when I was a little girl and I would watch my sister put on make-up she always used the Covergirl compact. I couldn't wait to start wearing make-up and remember when I finally got my first Covergirl compact.  Covergirl is a favorite make-up brand of mine.

Click to join the party. Free things will be given away. :)  I am a BzzAgent and have decided to join in on the party.

Do you see what I see?

Nevermind the wall. It has been destroyed from the years that we had my boys Hot Wheel table sitting there and cars slamming against the wall.

If you guessed my cat laying on top of the blanket basket instead of on her bed you guessed it!  I wonder if I move her bed on top of the blanket basket if she would lay there.  We have had her a year and I have yet to see her get in her bed.  I guess it was a waste of money. :o]

Hmm...

CVS shopping trip tonight and this is what I come home with.

I am feeling yucky and so is my oldest. :o{

Florida Panther Game

Tyler always wants to attend live sporting events whenever he can. This past week we had some friends over for dinner and we were talking about it. My friend told me that her brother had just offered her 3 tickets to the Panther game and asked if Tyler and I wanted to go with her. I jumped on it and told Tyler that we were going. He was so excited.

Tonight was the night for the game. He was so excited and loved every minute of it. He is now a proud owner of a Panther paw that he proudly wore on his hand and cheered the Panthers on to victory tonight. 3-0 over the New York Rangers!

Go Panthers! We will be back to cheer you on this season! :o}

Thank you Stacey for inviting us!!!

New Year's Project

I have dreamed of having a fire pit for quite some time now and my wonderful husband finally made it a reality for me. :)
He started New Year's Eve off with making a list and going to Lowe's to buy some things to do around the house and my fire pit was one of them.

He had watched a video online but we kind of did our own thing in the long run.
First we laid out the brick and decided how big the fire ring needed to be, marked it off with some spray paint and took the bricks away.
We dug up the grass and laid sand down on the dirt.

Put the bricks back where they were to begin with and find out we made it one brick short, oh well we weren't changing it now.

Then the gravel went in, here the boys are smoothing them out.

Later that night we had our first fire and burned the old wood from the swingset.
Of course we had smores too. :o)

Happy New Year! May 2011 bring nothing but happiness to your life!

Coming soon will be my one small word that I have chosen for the year. :)

Today

Today is Christmas clean-up day.



Happy New Year!

pot holder

I have been looking for simple sewing projects that I can make.
I came across a pot holder sewing project that I thought I would give it a go.
I didn't follow the directions exactly and found where I made my mistakes so next time things will be even better. :O}

All ready for sewing...

flip it to the right side

put a pencil in to poke out the corners

 make the holder

sew the holder on

 sewing the square spiral

finished product...not quite square but I am happy with my first attempt

close up of square spiral, white would have been more defined, but who wants to really see imperfections? ;O}
