It's Pink Week!

October 08, 2010 1 Comments

At least it is for me. There's not actually a recipe this week, but I want to talk about something that is very important to me and to countless others. As you probably know, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I am just thrilled that we are fund raising at work for the Susan G. Komen foundation. As Heather has mentioned before, I am a cancer survivor. Granted, it was not breast cancer, but instead Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia when I was seven. Praise Jesus; I survived! Nowadays, I really like being involved in events to raise money for cancer research and awareness. A girl at work has done a fan-freaking-tastic job of organizing all kinds of events for the SGK Foundation, and our company has actually surpassed the fund raising goal by very nearly a thousand dollars! We did a thing where you could pay $5 and wear jeans all week (the response, as you might expect, for this was outstanding). We also did a "pink Thursday" where you paid $10 to try and win a prize for the most "pink spirit". Here's my getup!

I'm 29......Really!

There is  no post today, and well this post is kind of late in the day for me. Why?

Because I turned 29 today, and yes.....it's the first time I've turned 29. :)

My super awesome hubby got me a silhouette for my birthday, which arrived early and I have already broken in. :) Love ya babe!

My poor littlest guy had his 1 year well baby today, and he's got all new stats. 30-1/2" long and 20.1 lbs. He's getting so big. He got three shots today so he's sleeping them off. I feel so bad because he hasn't even had lunch yet, but he did snack on a couple of graham crackers while at the doc's.

Dev and I also got our 'working' glasses today.

The only thing that could complete my day is a steaming hot cup of Venti Pumpkin Spice, which I will be getting when Dev and I go to Target later today to get his new sheets and a gift for his friend James. :)

Here's a shot of Dev and I in our new glasses. :)

Oh yea, I also got all my hairs done last night. I keep having my hair cut shorter and shorter. :)

Have a great day guys. Monday I'll be back with a post about someone's bed. :)

Faux Leather Balls

October 06, 2010 1 Comments
About a week ago, I guest posted over at Ashley's blog, 6 inches of ribbon, and this is what I offered up for her faithful readers. :)

Long before I started my blog, I was crafting for the house, and in my searches for cheap inexpensive decor projects I came across Styrofoam's website. I found this Faux Leather Ball project, but I'm all for keeping it simple, so I changed it a touch. Here's what I did:
