Sydney's 1st Trip to Alabama....



Sydney is Jason's Sister's daughter who is 16 and lives in Vacaville, CA. She came to visit us for a week on her spring break and we had a blast, she bundles of fun energy!!



Had to make a pit stop and eat some Chan's food of course!


This is the beginning of our two hour road trip for a night to Atlanta.


Syd listened to music and played on facebook the whole ride and we listened to the book, "Lincoln Lawyer"(fyi...Great!!!).


Syd and I were twinkies(matching twins if anyone doesnt understand.....like DANIELLE!!!) we both had braids!


We went to Atlanta to spend a day at the Aquarium and it was so big and awesome!!





Of course while she was her us girls did some sun bathing poolside!


This wasnt suppose to be in here, but its from my last post of my projects...lol!!


This was the end resolute after cutting....isnt she cute as can be!!!!!!


Syd had super long hair when she came and we decided to make a fun change and cut almost 5 inches off(and yes her mother knew about it).
And again I am sorry cause these last ones are in the wrong order....this is before cut!!!!

But Syd it was great fun to have u, we cant wait for ya to come back soon!!!!

My Recent Projects (this is for my parents)


I bought two of these frames at the Antique mall and painted them and sanded them to have that rustic look.




Made this flower and added it to the lamp....gives it some fun flavor!




Also a antique mall purchase. Painted it and added fun cute new knobs!!




I have been decorating our guest bedroom and I have been trying to be creative to give me some fun projects to work on. We have had this huge plain bulletin board so I figured everyone else has been covering them and making them cute.....so can I!!!


I bought this old stool used at a antique mall(as u can tell I loved the place, they had everything and great cheap prices). I added the fabric and padded, painted and then sanded it to look rustic(but u can't really tell in this pic).



These are the curtains I bought for the room. They are a light green and they are a little different. They have pick ups like on wedding dresses(the fabric gathers together all over). I thought it was cool and girlie!!!



This was the
same fabric I covered the stool with(got it from hobby lobby....best store ever!!). Then just added fun ribbon


Trying it out on the wall before I added the frame


Then got crown molding and cut it to make it into a frame. It was fun and definitely exciting and new(little bit of a fun challenge).



My finish project....I added some cute buttons and flowers to the ribbon where it touched but u can't see it!
