Enjoying being lazy!

So part of the reason that I have not had any recent blogs is because I have been very busy! on February 28th I started a CNA program at Clarkson College. It was only 3 nights a week, but then we had gymnastics on one of the nights that I didnt have class, and then we had to cram as much as possible in on the weekends (plus study time!) Well, I am happy to say that I am finally done! And even though it was a pass/fail class, and I passed, I still did the math and I passed with a 92.6% average. And I got a 90% on my State Written Exam (you needed at least a 70% to pass). I'm really excited, since this is the 1st type of schooling/classes that I have completed in the 10 ears since I graduated from high school.

Now for the second reason that I haven't posted anything, nothing has turned out!!! It is seriously pissing me off! Nothing has come out the way that I wanted, or has just been completely shot to hell altogether! The crafting God is mad at me in a big way! So I'll post what I have done so far, and how it went wrong! Hope someone out there gets a good laugh out it! ;)

Valentines Day Arts & Crafts Pt2

So this was what I made my Lovah for Valentines Day. There was supposed to be a picture of us on the left side somewhere, but the most recent picture I have of us was when we were on vacation last summer, and he was makin the stink face cause "the sun was in my eyes"... Ya ya, he was just pissy cause I pulled him off the golf course! ;)

I went to a thrift store and bought a Scrabble game for $2! Whoever donated it even left their dictionary in there! So I got my $2's worth! And I still have a ton of tiles I can use for later projects!

I thought this quote was kind of fitting with the whole Scrabble tile theme!

This is the topiary that I made for my Leslie. She wanted a wreath, but I was wantig to try something else. This took F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!! But she loved it (at least thats what she told me to my face) And she can put it out next Valentines Day too.

And this was the 1st project. This wreath and the topiary are made with cupcake papers. The wreath I did the whole thing in about 2 hrs, while watching "The Young Victoria".

Valentines Arts & Crafts Pt 1

A couple of days before Valentine's Day it was Madison's turn to bring snack. I found this super cute idea on the JIF website. (I was there to look up the yummy cookie recipe that Megan's husband got me hooked on, BEST peanut butter cookies!!)

So, I figured with Valentine's Day just a couple days away why not get festive! Besides, what kid doesn't like PB&J?!

And I'm sure most people have seen these pictures already if you are not on FaceBook, or in my address book and didn't get a Valentine's card from us, here is some pictures we had done for Jonathen for Valentine's Day.

This picture of Madison breaks my heart a little. She is getting WAY to big!

She was supposed to be "Baby Madison" forever! (That's what her cousin called her)

When I tell her to stop growing, she says "MOOOOMMMM! Ima big girl now! That's just what I do! -Ugh. Attitude. Already. At 4. Joy. Lately she's been on this kick though, she keeps asking me when her baby brother Tyler is going to be in my tummy.... She must know something I don't!

And this was the one we used for the cards. I know you can't tell from the pics but Livy was the biggest turd-monkey that day! That's why the only pictures she is in, there is candy involved!

I think Valentines Day was when I hit my creativity peak! Here are some pics of some of the crafts I made to decorate for the holiday!

Master Bath Round #3

So this was what our Master bathroom looked like when we did our walk through of the house.

Lucky for you, you can't see just how gross it really was!

So back in October, we started to remodel our bathroom. Which came to a halt when the decision maker (ME!) had to go to California for 4 weeks. The only thing that we had in there was the new floor! No toilet, no sink. Just floor. When I got back, and found out just how expensive vanities are, I decided we should put in a pedestal sink. And I loved it! I found this at Lowe's, for $90, plus my 10% Military discount. I loved it! Especially with the two-tone faucet!

Last weekend, My darling husband decided to start re-finishing our basement! Which got me thinking about the basement bathroom.... Which I think would be fine with just a pedestal sink.
But, I didn't want to have one in our Master bathroom, AND one in the basement. Plus I have been running into some issues with our Master bathroom. I figured the lack of counter space could be fixed by putting some shelves in. But our bathroom is SO small, that if I added any shelves anywhere near the vanity, I would smack my head on it. :( Not good!
Lucky for me, I came across a great little vanity at Lowe's on clearance, for $90! (Plus my 10%, again!)

So, this is the 3rd vanity this poor little bathroom has had since we moved in! But I think it's a much better fit! I have counter space, and storage space! We have the pedestal sink for the basement. And I found the same faucet on sale for $48 (+ that discount!) ;)

Sexy, right?!

It was bound to happen....

Well, it was bound to happen! I am now a "blogger"!

There is only so much on Facebook, and I have a lot to say!

Plus this will allow everyone back home to keep up with us a little better. :)

Hope everyone can bare with me while I figure this out!
