Kitchen Remodel Part I

Kitchen Remodel Part I

We’ve been gearing up for the biggest change…

Vintage Cone

Vintage Cone

I saw an idea for a vintage cone on The Graphics Fairy blog a while back and decided that I wanted to make one, too.  I’m finding myself drawn to vintagey goodness lately. Anyway, I dug out some styrofoam cones that I had stashed away in my craft closet for a Christmas project that I never got to, cut it in half, and started playing around with paper and Mod Podge. All images are courtesy of The Graphics Fairy.  If…

Pile O’ Loot – The Winners!

Pile O’ Loot – The Winners!

Hey friends! I’m late in the day posting the winners.  I was off having fun this afternoon getting my greys cut and covered and adding a different kind of color to my hair… (Forgive the awful webcam pics. LOL!)   I added a couple of turquoise feather extensions to my hair! I’ve been thinking about it and decided to do it this time.  They are pretty much just like reg hair extensions, held in with a crimp bead, and you…

UPDATED: It appears that the previous post has been restored but no comments.  ARGH!  Let’s hang in there and see if the comments come back. If they don’t by the end of the day I will start the giveaway over.  There were so many comments that were lost and I am beyond frustrated. Dear friends, Blogger has been DOWN for the past couple of days. I am sure many of you who are bloggers and who read blogs have noticed…

Happy {belated} Cinco de Mayo & a recipe!

Happy {belated} Cinco de Mayo & a recipe!

Hey friends!  We’re just chugging along here enjoying this spring weather we’re having here in Utah this week. It’s been so freezing cold and this week we’ve finally had some warmer weather! It’s been in the 70’s the past couple of days! That sure beats the 40’s and 50’s! Anyway… Brent and I took the opportunity to do a little grilling last night and “celebrated” Cinco de Mayo.  We marinated some chicken Weber’s Tequila Lime marinade and then tossed it…
