Sister fun...

Meeting my sister here.

Will be having a fabulous time.

Junk, treasures, food and awesome fellowship with my favorite salvage sister!!!

Maybe we'll see you there!

Happy spring!

A new year's giveaway!!!

You have got to check out the giveaway going on over at Jones Design company! This is the place where I got the amazing tutorial for the flower pins I made for Christmas gifts this year. Fun, fun, fun! Happy new year!!!

The Cabinet Re-Do

Photo credit...me. Yup, that's why it's so bad.

Here's my latest salvage endeavor (and yes...it has a story!)...

It was filled with old christmas junk...
It was half covered by chipmunk's sawdust, broken engine parts and stacks of magazines...
It was free...
But it was destined for greatness...
Or at least, that's what I thought!

I talked my dad into helping with the project (not like I had to twist his arm or anything...he loves this kind of stuff) while he and my mom visited a couple weeks ago.
It took us 2 days of working (for coats of paint to dry in between) and about 6 hours.
Yup. That's it.
And...drum roll please!


Sorry, I will have to post the final pictures later because our camera grew legs and walked off while we were at the zoo last week! Brutal.
But I love the final result and can't wait to share it with you!
Here's a little sneak peak...

The big 5!

Well, our darling "little" girl turned the big 5 this last week! I cannot believe I have a 5 year old...
For her cake she asked for a "teapot" cake.
And can it please be purple, she added.
Sigh. I had to try.

So here it is...she loved it. And I was quite pleased myself.
I baked the cake in my favorite Pampered Chef mixing bowl. Then flipped it over when it had cooled.
Then I made the handle & spout out of cardboard and frosted them to match!

Tah-dah!
Oh and the cute "topper"? Yup, it's a ring-pop. Saw it in the store and snatched it right up.
Purple Skittles made the "sweet" accents. And the cute label I also cut from cardboard and frosted to match...
You can do it too!

The big show!!!

Going to Farm Chicks this weekend!!!
I am so excited...
I feel like a little kid...
a little giddy and very, very happy!

Four of us are heading to Spokane this weekend. And we not only get to enjoy the show, but we get to visit our friend & her little baby girl. It should be a wonderful time!
I'll post pics and stories when we return!

Yippeeeeee...
