I’m going to put this on craigslist later but for those of you that go to church with us I thought I’d give you the first shot LOL
1st- A tommy hilfigier denim skirt Super cute but I bought it off ebay about 2 years ago not realizing it was a U.K. sized skirt. It is a UK size 7 which means it is a u.s. size 3 (although I think it looks more like a 2) SO.. even on my super skinninest months it is not going to get close to actually being wearable by me.
(it has been washed by me but was new with tags when I got it) asking $15 and you guys are more than welcome to bring it home to try on. I dont’ remember what I paid but the tags priced it at well over $100.
oh.. and the color is off in the pictures.. it’s not really a blue denim.. it’s much lighter IRL


and.. this dress (Bari Jay) new to me but worn once to a wedding by the previous owner.. size 8 but runs small. I bought it awhile ago but it’s just always going to be way to small for me
GORGEOUS fabric! I’d say a size 5-6 could wear it well. Also, if it’s someone from church looking this would be a nice length on my but if you’re over 5′6″ it’d probably be too short. Asking $25


and here is a link to the stock photo.. sold for $158 new and it has been altered to have the sash sewn into the dress (no bow in the back)

And, a few new decorations
Still got ALONG ways to go but I’m finally getting started and I love the new stuff so I wanted to share
new picture I made for above the piano.. fun project and since I love scrapbook paper but never actually scrapbook it was a good use for some of the pretty paper
I just bought a plain canvas, some papers, and decoupaged it on
(oh.. and the lamp is new too)


new mantle decor

(again.. it’s no where near done but I’m so excited to finally get started LOL.. you guys might see alot of in progress pictures in the future)
and a new pillow

my next project is a cool mod/ 60’s end table I got at slavation army for about $5. I’m going to sand it down and then repaint it. I’m thinking about painting it white with a high gloss finish and decoupaging a cool mod green/ white paper on the top. Or it might get painted black, then red.. with the red partially sanded so some of the black shows thru. Totally not sure what I’m doing with it yet LOL

Well, Jesse is now not feeling well and Rohan has the junk as well. I had to make a quick trip to walmart to replace diapers because he’s umm.. going thru them in BAD ways VERY quickly tonight! Lorien still isn’t quite up to speed either. I SO hope I can avoid this!

Well, I know momma is sick so she missed tonight.. Rohan and Lorien are sick.. bummer!
In other news.. I got some GREAT buys at Walmart today! Got the girls 2 really cool bath play sets for $5 each. Got several things to put up as gifts. Got an adorable set of jersey sheets for the girls bed for FOUR dollars. I also bought the party favors for Briannas birthday party LOL. I am ON TOP OF her birthday this year LOL. Seriously though.. Momma and Melissa found some Disney Princess party supplies at the disney store on a GREAT sale. And I got each of the girls that will be there cute disney princess purses with comb, hairbows, mirror, etc.. in there for a really low price as well.
I love after holiday sells!

About 30 mins before a customer arrived to pick up pictures Lorien decided she would open the package and bend half of the pictures!! Just what I needed. Thankfully it was a understanding customer (although I’m sure the discount didn’t hurt LOL).
So I had a fun afternoon of re-ordering pictures. SOOOO aggravating though! Anyway.. when I was repackaging the portraits I decided to take some quick shots of my packaging.
The smaller orders go into a smaller clear bag.
If anyone is ever in a pinch for a brown gift bag or polka dotted tissue paper.. I’ve got a few hundred I can spare! LOL

and inside.. I have 5 diff. colors of these thick pochette folders in the small sizes.. (8×10 and smaller)
larger pictures get sandwiched between 2 pieces of colored cardboard and tied with matching ribbon. I also have hangtags that normaly hang from the bag ties but hadn’t put it on yet in the picture

the backs of the folders look like this.. (and as soon as my belly belts *that white band*) get here mine will be finished like that instead of with the logo sticker down the side.. Except they won’t have ca on the sticker LOL

I’m sitting here scrapping the bowl to finish off the chocolate no-bakes I just made.
We are having a church dinner tomorrow (to set up for the new years meeting) and I’ve been wanting to make choc. no bakes. They turned out kind light colored for some reason but are yummy still.
I cheated on my food though.. a frozen lasagna and a frozen garlic bread loaf LOL.
In other news.. Rohan has been a total grouch for the past month.. he’s been a grouch for longer than that but the last month has been miserable. I’m not sure what’s got into him but he screams about 90% of the day.. he’s only happy if he’s doing what HE wants to do and I’m never sure what that is LOL. He does love his baths and eating.. and thankfully the last 2 days it’s been nice enough to let the kids outside and he’ll play happily in the backyard for an hour. I’m SO ready for this stage to end though! If he’d been my first child we might would only have 1 kiddo still LOL. He’s growing taller and skinner
No more of that little chubsers we use to have around. Him and Buster get along pretty well for the most part.. sometimes they get into a mood where Rohan starts whacking the dog and the dog retaliates by grabbing his shirt sleeve and trying to pull him around. Kinda funny to be honest but for the most part they like each other
Rohan gets so happy in the morning when he gets in our bed and sees the dog.
Brianna is up to her usual imagination games.
She did throw a rather strange temper tantrum in church the other day.. it was so weird… she just doesn’t do stuff like that. Not sure what got into the kiddo! She’s for the most part our easy child. She does have her moments but she’s just SO easy compared to the other 2!
Lorien is umm… well… Lorien. Not sure how else to describe that kid. She’s the most unique personality out of the bunch that’s for sure LOL…
And the dog.. he’s grown so much! He’s adult hair is starting to come in on his head and it looks like his “roots” are showing when you part his hair LOL. He’s the CUTEST dog ever and is just getting sweeter.
We couldn’t have picked a better dog if we tried.
And me.. busy busy.. but I think that’s normal for a homeschooling mom of 3 LOL.
