Jeff Birthday

Happy Birthday Jeff,,, I love you!!

I cant believe I forgot to post Jeff's birthday,, and he turned the big 4-0 ... yep he's officially as old as I am. He's my main man and I hope he knows just how much I love him.. Happy Birthday! He does special little things like painting my toenails while we are in the truck in the parking lot of the Mexican place,, he's THAT sweet!

So I had to make him something sweet for his B'day.. 40 "Sucks" cupcakes

Happy Birthday Sister

We celebrated my younger sister's birthday this weekend at my mama's... she collects decorative wall masks so i made her a mardi gras type mask on her birthday cake.. not the same thing I know,, but it was a mask and she liked it. Happy Birthday Steph... Love ya!

Blissdom"'09 is over,, did you go??

Blissdom '09 was this past weekend and sooo many bloggers headed out to Tennessee to enjoy some fun, meet/make new friends and learn some things too. Edie at Lifeingrace posted about her trip and as well as Rhoda over at Southernhospitality. And seeing as how I didn't get to go çause i really didn't know what those buttons on everybody's blog that said "I'm going Ya'll" was talking about until all the spaces were full I stripped wallpaper border from the backdoor foyer area and painted it a bright white. You might not can tell a lot in the pictures but it really does look 100% better. I'm looking for some new things to hang in that area and so the walls are still bare. I also made a heart L O V E banner out of newspaper. And for the life of me I can't remember whose blog I saw that on ( oh yeah now i know it was Mayamade and her newspaper bunting) ... she does banners with newspaper for many things and I know i've visited her blog many times,, but i cant find that post and go figure i can't find the picture of the one i made either.. But if it was you and you're reading this let me know so i can give credit where credit is due,,, and thanks for the idea.

Trash to Treasure

Its Tuesday and that means another trash to treasure post,, so go on over to Diane's place and see what everybody has created this week.

I haven't participated for a couple of weeks, so this week I made my version of the fabric covered bulletin board and made a curtain to match it out of an old dress. I hung them both in my small bathroom. The best part is I had everything here at home to make it and it only took about 30 minutes from starting it to hanging it on the wall. I used an old dress, two pieces of cardboard, a scrap piece of thick white felt and a roll of stretching ribbon/string that I paid only 20 cents for at HobbyLobby (my favorite store). I hope you like it ,, thanks for stopping by.

Until tomorrow,,

Debbie
