While my parents went on their cruise. I got to spend the ten days babysitting Scotty. It was so nice not having to work for ten days and Scotty was actually pretty fun!
While I was off I decidced to do some DIY projects. We just moved into a new house and our stuff needed to be a little updated. Kyle and Scotty were huge helpers.
My mom gave me an old lamp made out of carnival glass and I really loved it, but I didnt have a lamp shade for it. I knew it needed one that was the right color, but i also wanted it to have something fun to it because of how cool the lamp is. After months of looking, I just decided to make one. I was pretty worried about it turning out right. However in the end I totally loved it! It turned out perfect and matches the lamp!
We also did A LOT of painting. We got a new bedspread and new curtains so I needed to make sure everything went well together. Plus i was just so sick of everthing in my house being black. I love my new house and all the colors and brightness to it.
Kyle was awesome through the whole week. He still had to work but also helped me with my projects. He also helped with Scotty a ton and it made the week really enjoyable. Kyle is just amazing!
First, you and kyle are wearing like the exact same outfits as the pictures from christmas. i only noticed because they were right by each other. i thought it was funny. and second, holy cow! I never knew you were a crafty girl! That lamp shade is so cute! And I love the colors you painted things. I've been looking at craft blogs and they always say it's amazing what a new paint job will do. They look so cute. Here is the crazy thing...2 months from now I will be there to see your new place!! I'm excited! I can't wait to see how everything looks. that lamp shade is really cool.

ReplyDeleteoh yeah, and I love your blog background and header. Really cute. You should check out the decorating blogs I have on the side of my blog. I rarely look because I can't do anything anyway but there is one that I really like called the house of smith. you should see how cute she did her house. maybe it will give you some ideas for fixing up your own.
