Kung Fu~Flowers~Redos

Hi!! I hope everyone has been enjoying their week ~ mine has been pretty good here. I took the kids to see Kung Fu Panda 2 at the little community theatre here in town yesterday (it was only $8 for all 3 of us to get in!! whoo hoo!). It was really cute! If anyone has little ones & you haven't went to see this movie ~ you should! We all really liked it!

Other than that, not a whole lot of anything has been happening around here. Still being lazy & enjoying the summer vacation time with my son.  The hubby is still not smoking! Whoo hoo! It's been a week & he's done really good so far ~ I'm very proud of him! This weekend is our "kid-free" weekend again & he has asked me to go "night" fishing with him! I was shocked! He never asks me so of course I said yes!! I'm sure I'll be bored out of my mind in about an hour or two but at least he wanted me to go! :O) Makes me feel all special!! LOL

I got two redos done this week ~

the pics aren't the greatest ~ but they both are just black. I like them a lot more now ~ I almost left the long candle holder how it was but I have a lot of wood paneling in my house & it was all the SAME shade of it so it got painted

I'm going to try to work on a few more redos this weekend~ still not feeling much like painting anything. Kinda in a funk ~ I feel like a need a "change". Do you ever get like that?!? I seem to get like that at least once every 6 months or so & I don't know why. I think I've got some gypsy blood in me or something! lol Sometimes it's as simple as a new haircut to cure me ~ sometimes it's more than that, so we'll just have to wait & see. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon :O)!

Anyways!!

Here's a few pics of some flowers in my yard

my black eyed susans are just starting to bloom

bee-baum -it's really cool looking - I tried to get a good close up but they were all blurry -this was the best I could do

my purple cone flowers are blooming too! these are my favorites! I just LOVE them!

this lil flower is entwined in with my purple cone flowers ~ I wondered where it had gone ~ my mom had given me some in the fall & I never can remember where I plant anything so I must've planted it where my purple cone flowers were ~ oh well! I'll try to move it this fall :)

Well that's all I've got today. Hopefully next week I'll have more to share! I hope everyone has a great weekend! Stay safe & do something F-U-N!!

Just a quickie!!

Good morning! I thought I'd drop in for a quick little post this morning. Yesterday wasn't my most productive day ever ~ most of the day I spent lazin around bein hormonal & tired! BLAH was how I was feeling! :(  One of the few things that amused me yesterday though was that when I checked the mail, my new stencil that I had won from http://folkartfromtheharbor.blogspot.com/ had arrived!! Whoo hoo! This baby is NICE! It's the biggest stencil I've ever seen! I can't wait to use it ~ I'm going to dig thru my wood pile & find me the perfect piece to use it on today. Thanks again to Becca & if you haven't checked out their blog -you should! I know I'll be ordering me some just as soon as I can!


I also wanted to share with you my new piece of garden "junk" I picked up after I dropped the kid off at school yesterday. My poor hubby just shakes his head ... lol ... he just doesn't understand! But I can't wait to make me a birdhouse to put on it :) I think it's really a cool color! It's more of an aqua blue in person ~ it's very cute in my flower bed!

Other than that, like I said I was pretty darn lazy yesterday! I'm going to try to finish working on a few things today ~ I've got to decide what I'm giving away for the "surprise" part of my giveaway since you guys helped me blow right past 100 followers! :D The sun was actually out this morning when we got up but the clouds have already came back. It's supposed to be nicer this weekend & I can't wait!! I hope everyone has a great Thursday ~ only 1 more day till the weekend! Whoo hoo!
