Light Bulb!!

So I just realized that since I'm no longer employed (I quit my job last August. It was dreadfully stressful and I hated it. And my hubby and my kids wanted me home.) that I can be me again. Ok, I know it took me a while to figure that one out. I have long admired the color streaks that I have seen in people's hair. I don't mean just highlights, I mean blue, purple, pink, etc. Sooo, I'm going to get a bright pink streak in my hair and if I like it, I may add more. It's kind of silly how excited I am about it. And I have been thinking of getting another tattoo. Taylor does some awesome abstract art. I think I may get some of his art as a tattoo. How fun!

Taylor and Kelsey @ Fall Festival

Our Fundraising efforts "paid off". Taylor and Kelsey won for their division in fall festival. Don't they look great!! Overall, the king and queen candidates, K-12, raised over $18,000.00 for the school. Great job!!

Flip Flop Fundraiser

I just finished embellishing 16 pairs of flip flops as part of a fundraiser for Taylor's junior class. (I think I have sufficiently removed my own fingerprints with hot glue!) Taylor is the Fall Festival King candidate for his class, which involves lots of fundraising. The school colors are blue and gold and the mascot is a Thunderbird. Taylor's favorite is the the one with feathers!

It's Been a While

Hi Again! It's been a while since I posted. I have been so busy. I have opened a shop 3 days a week while keeping my real job. I have to keep my real job in order to afford my fun job! My husband has been a great help. He sits at the shop for me on Fridays while I am working, brings me lunch on Saturdays and Sundays and sits at the shop for me when I need to go looking for more treasures. He is truly a treasure!!

The shop is doing well. Even better than expected. I can't keep enough furniture on hand to keep it fully stocked. But that's good. It means people like what I am offering, that my prices are reasonable and I get to keep shopping for more. I love it!

Flea Market Booth

I set up a flea market booth over the weekend. Please let me know what you think.

Cutie Patooties!

They are just so cute! Love the pink,

green and white! My favorite colors.

When Tate had his monthly check-up

at the Orthodontist last week, he got

green and pink bands on his braces

to match their prom attire. Cuties!

Jurgen's Angels?

Ok, this picture was just too cute. I couldn't resist.
The girls are so silly and fun. They are attempting
a "Charlie's Angels" pose, but Kristel is cracking up!
So were we. We all had a good time!

Easter 2010-Good Times!!

Me and my Sweetie!

Who loves Holly Hobbie?

Do any of you love Holly Hobbie or Strawberry Shortcake? I do. I am not sure why. I loved them as a kid. I still love them now. So imagine my delight when I found a Holly Hobbie kitchen set this weekend at a flea market. It is so awesome. I couldn't believe it. I got a refrigerator, stove and sink and a set of dishes for under $50 and they are in near perfect condition. Guess what else I found! A Holly Hobbie sewing machine. Squeals of Delight!!

So what am I going to do with all these lovely things? Not sure. Right now they are all sitting in my living room, next to a Holly Hobbie lamp my mom gave me for Christmas. I'm still in the admiring phase, maybe dreaming about a childhood that I didn't have. Maybe a childhood that I can re-create for Ruby June. Hhmmm...
