It's a hair thang....

Ok,ok, so I'm going to be completely wrapped up in myself for a moment and see if I can get some of your opinions!

It is WAY overdue for me to get a cut on this head of mine. WAY overdue! And I have a little problem when it comes to choosing a hair cut. I have a round face. There are so many cute cuts out there, but they are always on small faces. So, I need your help! If you would be so kind and give me your opinion. :)

Here is a picture of my face. Sorry, best one I could find.

Here are my options that I like.

Go VOLS!

Whelp, it's that time of the year again. Football is everywhere. I have never really been a fan of football.....I know....Gasp!  My hubby however....uhhh, he may have a problem.  He will NOT miss a game.  He doesn't care if his precious Vols are winning or loosing, he is there screaming at the tv.  HA! 

Yes, I know all football watchers are doing this during the game, I still just do not understand it. :)

Anywhooo, a few weeks ago Homemaker in Heels did a great football wreath.  Now, before you go check her out please know that I do not support, nor condone anything about the team she is advertising.  LOL  You will understand when you go check hers out.  BUT, it did make me have an Ah-ha moment.

Here is what I came up with....

Of course, I put it straight up on the front door wanting the hubby to notice it when he came home from work.  But, in true male form.....he didn't realize anything! UGH!  Men! I just couldn't wait for him to finally notice, whenever that may be.  So of course I then went and opened the door so that he could ooohhh and aaaahhhh, and I could get some Praise for being the best wife EVER, of course! ;0)

I will be linking to these fab parties!

Have a fabulous day!!

If you would like to guest post, please let me know. I would Love to have you.

Art in Space

Don't you just love all of the things your kiddos make for you?  From school crafts, to coloring at home, crafts from the gym, stuff made at church, you can get a nice little pile of things to "display" from your kids....especially when you have 3!

My boys are at that age to where they are heartbroken when I talk about throwing something out, and not putting it up or keeping it.  I have even started folders to take to the grandparents and share the "love". ha! 

While browsing Pinterest (of course) I found some super way to display all of that art!  What?  You didn't realize I was on Pinterest yet??  Why yes I am!  You can follow me by clicking this follow button on my sidebar! ;)  I'll follow you back!  There's just too much goodness on that site to find it all alone, right??

Anyway, I have been trying to find a way to make it "themed" like their room.  Their room is done in planets.  They LOVE it, and honestly, it really is my favorite room in the house.  Oh, you want to see pictures of their room, too??  OK, I will be sure to clean it soon so you can see it, too! ;)

Gosh, I'm rabbit trailing bad, huh?  Thanks for sticking with me!

Here is what I found while at Hobby Lobby the other day:

 I already had everything on hand except for the "planets".  Those were $1.99 a piece at Hobby Lobby.  L.O.V.E.  I nailed in a hanger on the back.

 Added a hook to the front.

 And there ya go!  Of course, I still have plenty of clips to add more....but wouldn't you know it I couldn't find any artwork after putting this up??  lol

 And this has to be my most favorite thing ever at the moment. "You are my God and I will give you Thanks".  From Kaleb's class at church.  It makes my heart so happy!

The boys are so excited, and it matches.

I will be linking up to these fab parties!

Have an Amazing Day!!

Laundry diaries....

If you have boys, then you are familiar with finding "odd" things in the washer or dryer while doing laundry.  There have been many times when this has been true for me.  Many times of finding blocks, stickers, plastic toys....maybe even some plastic bugs.

Well, this was one of those days....or so I thought.  After getting all of the laundry out of the washer this is what I found......

At first I thought gesh, another toy lizard.  Then, after taking a close look, with a flashlight.......I realized....dom, dom, dom.....

OMG....can you see it???  I have NEVER seen a "fake" lizard to have a tongue.....it was SO REAL.....WAS is the correct term.....since it was obviously drowned to his death.  Gag!  I seriously made my 5 year old pick it up and throw it into the trash.  LOL

And if that wasn't bad enough.  When his brother came home from school of course he needed to see the dead lizard that Kaleb threw out....and of course my only girl picked it up and squished the guts out of it.  Sorry, didn't take pics of that....I know you all are bummed, right??  :(  EEEeeeKKKkkk.

Please tell me I'm not the only one this happens too?? 

Be careful out there y'all, while doing laundry.  There's some scary stuff in them there washers.

Lace Earrings

If you have not entered my UPrinting giveaway, you can do so here!  There are VERY low enteries.  Everyone likes FREE stuff, right? 

In my effort to become more "girly" I have decided it was time to get creative and make some lace "doily" earrings.  Are you ready for a lot of pictures?? 

Here is what I used:
Scrap lace fabric
Glue
Old Earrings
Tools
Water

In a bowl combine 1/4 cup water, with 1/4 cup glue.  (Or however much you think you need, as long as it is equal parts glue and water.)

Instead of buying new "findings" for the earrings, I just took apart some that I never wore anyway. Take apart your earrings.  (I have plans coming soon for the feathers!  Stay tuned. ;))

Cut out your "doilies".

Here they are cut out.

Cover them with your glue mix. (Squeeze out the excess so their not dripping wet.)

Lay them out to dry. (I put mine on the un-shiny side of freezer paper.)

Once dried, add your hook.

 Here they are done!

Please tell me you love them??  I do!  Now, I just  have to figure out what to wear them with.  Ha!

I will be linking up to these fab parties!!

Have A Fantabulous Day!

Riley's Masterpiece

If you have not entered the UPrinting giveaway you can do so, here!  There are VERY low enteries....ok, none at the moment. :( 

While trying to come up with idea's to make Riley's room have a few personal things in it, I came up with an idea.  Why not let her do her own artwork for her bedroom?  She loves to paint, so that was what we did.

Here is what she used:

 Riley at work....ssshhhhhh.

 Perfections takes so much concentration.

 End result.  I even helped her with the "signature".  I held her finger and marked it.  I know these will be kept somewhere in the house for the rest of my life.  I {heart} them something crazy!

I will be linking to these fab parties.

Have a wonderful day, y'all!  Yep, I just said Y'all.  lol

A Birthday Gift

When in the Military you meet so many women.  You definitely have to weed through and find the ones that you want to keep around.  After 10 years, I feel like I have finally done this.  Another thing with the Military is that as soon as you get close with some people, they leave.  Luckily for me, my good group has all be around for a while now....and it looks like they will get to be around for a few more years at least.  Hopefully until we retire.  HA!

One of those fabulous women had a birthday a few weeks ago.  She's a country WV girl.  She's not flashy, and very simple.  I {heart} this lady so much.  Defiantly one we will be getting together with no matter where we all live.  I decided she deserved something more than just a regular drop in the store and pick something out.  So I really tried to make her some cute things.

The head wrap you may remember from this post.  I liked mine so much, I made her one. ;)  The bracelet on the bottom is just like the one from this post.  I have had so many complements on it that I decided to make another one for her.  The other two flowers are new.  I had never made them until now, but I have been wanting too.

 Package them in some cute stuff, meant for a lovely lady!

 And she seemed to like them.  YAY!  Below is our "little" group.  The Birthday girl is the one in the bottom, front.  It was a fabulous dinner celebration with the girls.

I will be linking up to these fab parties!

Have  A Fabulous Day!!
