In a baking mood on this superbowl Sunday.

I will show the end results later.

Diy

So my grandma gave me this utensil holder.  (you know for your spoons and spatulas on your counter)  Well I already had one for my kitchen and this one was just not my style...so I decided to redo it.





So first I painted it (with paint I already had on hand.)







Then I added burlap and a ribbon (which I also already had on hand)



Volia!!! 

I am going to put it in my craft room to hold scissors and pens and things.....cost of entire project.....


$0

Yay

I have had a post waiting to be published on my ipad for two days now...it was a quick diy project and for some reason my blogpress app won't let it publish and I don't know how to fix it. Oh well, this week really has wizzed by...I just can't believe it. There really isn't anything very exciting to talk about. Wednesday I did a little retail therapy that felt so good. I got some bubble bath and shower gel from Bath and Body Works.

Clinique is having their bonus days so I got two eyeliners and the bonus gift which is the best bonus gift they have ever given. Everything in it was something I needed and used!

I also was in a baking mood and more importantly in a 'need for new baking tools' mood so I got 3 new cookie sheets, a new cookie scoop, and silicone baking mats.

Other than that, it has been pretty low key this week.  However, I asked my husband to put a clothesline in our backyard for me this spring.  I don't know why I asked him this?  For some reason I just want one??? Maybe it will save us a little money on our dryer time.  Does anyone else have a clothesline?  My biggest worry is that we install it and don't use it.  I am getting a retractable one so it rolls up when not in use and then I can clip it to a pole when in use.  That way it is not in the way and it stays cleaner.  I am just imagining my lilacs blooming and fresh cloths on the line with the lilac smell!!!! I am strangely excited about this!

I also have been watching my Mad Men series.  The new season comes on in March so I wanted to rewatch (for the 4th time) all the previous seasons.  Right now I am two episodes away from finishing season 1. 

Well that is about all that is going on here.  Talk to you later.

Announcement

I am going to suspend the link-up...it really is to much work right now for one person to link-up with. If I ever get more readers I might try again, but not right now. I am going to be back this afternoon with a diy project that I am now just finishing up.

Link-Up Day

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Time for "You Deserve It" link up.

What I did for myself-

The weather has been unseasonably warm lately.  So Monday afternoon, I took my ipad outside, sat on my patio with my feet up, left my phone inside, and just enjoyed the fresh air and watched my dog play in the backyard.  It was glorious! 

What did you do?

Link Up

I am linking Up with "Made my day Monday"  I am suppose to say something that made my day today.


We are having unseasonably warm weather right now.  I am am to sit on my back patio, on my ipad, while watching my dog play in the back yard.  It was so wonderful!

Here is the link up if anyone else wants to join. http://angela2bunnie.blogspot.com/

Link-Up Prep

Ok, I am going to attempt to do my link-up once more and I hope I have a better turn out.

So, don't forget, you need to do something nice for yourself today!!!!!

Link-up is tomorrow.




(I am doing a link-up callend "You Deserve it" you have to do something nice for yourself: bubble bath, special dessert, manicure, present, read a book, etc and then post in through the link-up tomorrow.)

BMX

I had a pretty cool day today.  I meet someone kind of famous.  (well not really just sort of famous) His name is Matt Wilhelm.  You probably never have heard of him but he was on last season of "America's Got Talent" and he was a semi finalist.  He also won the $25,000 challenge on the show.  He also has 3 x-game medals, 2 time national champion, and one time world champion.  He does bmx bike tricks.  He was very nice and very funny.  Also seeing the tricks when he was 5 feet from me was a little scary because he was so fast.  This is a picture of him.  Google him if you want to see more. 

I also had to (seriously had to) watch 8 episodes of "Garfield" today.  Remember that old cartoon from the 80's?  I have not seen it since the 80's and I was about 6 or 7, but I actually remembered some of the episodes.  Isn't weird that I remember them from so long ago?  There were a few clever jokes in the cartoons.

I am absolutly exhausted tonight!  I can barely keep my eyes open.
