Get your paint on

I went painting last night with two girlfriends at Tag It Art in downtown Columbia. We had a great time painting a Christmas in July wreath! Of course I had to go all funky and change the colors, but I thought it turned out nice for an Easter wreath!!!

Mom's birthday dinner

My mom's birthday was last week, but my dad suprised her with a trip to Washington, SC that weekend. Rough life I know!

We decided to go out to dinner Sunday night with my sister and her boyfriend and my parents. We went to the new Mellow Mushroom in Lexington-not too shabby!

Here is mom blowing out her pretend candles!

Matt and I tried a new pizza for us-Red Skin Potato Pizza! It was sooo good! Of course Matt got no bacon on his pieces!

A good time was had by all! I am still stuffed as I type this out!

What I can't get enough of

1. Grouchos!

I could eat an STP all turkey EVERY meal EVERY day! For serious on that!

2. Crystal Light-except the Strawberry Banana Orange flavor, which gives me serious heartburn!

3. Decorating Weston's nursery! We will be done by the end of the week hurray!

nursery wall art

We wanted to do something different over the changing table/dresser so of course I turned to blogland to find some inspiration. After looking at some different pictures we decided to use Eric Carle alphabet cards as our wall art! For only $14.95 we got some cute animals and an alphabet!

After some extensive measurements by the hubs it was complete! I hope you like it as much as we do!

Just finished Weston's Bookshelves!

We worked hard to finish the bookshevles that we put up next to the crib. Now we just need some funky art for the walls. Any suggestions?!?



Matt did the cutting and base painting while I did the touch up work! Now that I am at 24 weeks, I think time will really fly by. This nursery better be ready sooner rather than later!

Nursery so far!

We ended up going a very different route than the three different bedding patterns I posted a few weeks ago. Here are the pics to show Weston's nursery so far. We have a ways to go still, but I love what we have done!

Glass Etching 1st Timer

I have noticed so many cute projects all over blogland that involved glass etching. I had to try it for an engagement/housewarming gift for our good friends Brooke and Ryan.

It was really easy and turned out excellent!

I started with a large glass pitcher. Then used contact paper and the Circuit to cut out the couple's monogram.

Apply the glass etching cream and let sit for 10 minutes. I then added another layer of cream and let it sit for another 10 minutes.
Wipe over and rinse the entire pitcher with water. Then take off the contact paper stencil and admire your awesome job!
