A thank you & my cabinet reveal part 2

Happy Friday everyone! It is a glorious, warm, sunny day in my neck of the woods.  Sorry I've been slacking on posting this week.  We've had several nice days in a row & I have been enjoying them while I can!

I recently won a giveaway over at Ellie's Country Accents & my package came today.  I was so very excited to receive my gift (I won Miss Witch) but I wanted to wait till Cody got home from school today till I opened it so he could share in my excitement.  When we opened up the box we found Miss Witch ( I love her ~ she's super cute!) & a couple of surprise gifts too!

Ms. Ellie sent Cody a Halloween goody bag with an adorable Halloween cat & some candy! He was so excited!! She also included a very yummy smelling candle & a super cute Halloween candle mat. 

~Miss Witch~

(ignore my wallpaper in the background -its on my "to-un-do" list!)

~my new candle mat (my only one) ~ LOVE it!

~Mr. Cody is a ham (he gets that from his father~lol) so I had to take a picture of him with each part of his gift! lol The poor chocolate covered marshmallow in the last picture didn't last but like 2 seconds! He said it was very good tho!~

Thank you again Ellie ~ I love everything & so does Cody. Thank you for including him in your kindness ~ you made his day & mine. 

If you haven't checked out Ellie's blog, please stop over & say hi :

I also wanted to show you guys my finished kitchen cabinet.  I ended up just using the tea stained muslin & losing the pleats.  I really like how it turned out.  Now I'm thinking the other cabinet in my kitchen needs painted! lol

I painted & stained several redos this morning then left them out in the sun to dry, so I will have those to share with you next time. 

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.  I'm looking forward to spending some lazy time with my guys.

Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday everyone! 

 It's a cold, dreary, rainy day here but that's not going to ruin my day! I'm excited for the weekend ~ Princess will be staying all night tonight with us & then tomorrow I'm hoping to take the kiddos to the local Applefest or a pumpkin show (I can't decide! lol).  They are calling for a chance of rain but maybe we'll get lucky & get to go have some fall fun!

Just a reminder ~ my giveaway ends this Sunday ~ I'll be drawing a name for the bowl & all the fixins & bowl fillers, so if you haven't signed up ~ whatcha waitin on?!?! lol

Okay now for my newest obsession ~ FALL decorating~ I have another picture to share with you.  Last weekend I kept seeing these ghosts everywhere I went ~ Country Living Fair, a local craft store ~ but they wanted between $45-$60 for one! Holy Cow! I was soooo not paying that price so I decided to make me one instead. In the end it cost me about $5 which was for the cheesecloth & really probably wasn't that much because I used some cheesecloth for my mummy earlier in the week. 

 Anyways ~ here's the pic:

I LOVE how he turned out! I'm getting ready to make my aunt one today ~ she wanted one @ Country Living this weekend too.  It was so super easy to make!

That should be the last Fall decorating pictures for this week ~ I want to put up our scarecrows & decorate outside but yesterday was the only day it didn't rain & I couldn't get the stuff out of the top of the garage without the hubby's help & he wasn't home, SO if it dries out next week I plan on working on that.  Until then here's my next project:

I've been debating on whether I should paint this cabinet for awhile now & finally this morning I decided "why not?" .  So as of now it is totally torn apart in my kitchen waiting for some new paint! :O) It holds our canned foods so my kitchen looks like there was an explosion or something! lol I guess I better get back to it so maybe it'll be done before the hubby gets home. :O)

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! I'll be back on Sunday!
