Mom's Birthday

Here are the pictures of my Mom's birthday.  Most of the pictures are of her quilt room after we gave it a makeover!

These are the two paint colors.  The lighter color on the right was on three wall, and the darker was only on this wall.

We rolled up fabric arranged by color groups in these crates, hung up cork board and peg boards.  

We arranged things on the shelf.  Here, you can see the peg board better.

We  mounted her tv on a moving arm.  Under the cutting board table, we have her scraps of fabric organized.  We hung her thread organizer.

Another view of the cork boards and how we decorated.

Peg board on the other wall.  They will both be painted white.  It was too windy outside, so we couldn't do it.

Mom's "inventory control" quilt she made, that shows what her room used to look like.  We hid it behind the door.  :-)  

Meeting Randy Fenoli

Here are the pictures from when Taylor and I went and met Randy Fenoli.

Sick

Well, I've been sick.  I am running a fever and have cold/flu symptoms.  It's horrible.  I haven't written in a while and I don't have much to say.   I met Randy Fenoli from Say Yes To The Dress last Thursday.  He was really nice.  Dustin complained that I hadn't blogged lately, but I haven't felt good and I don't have much to say.  So, I hope I get feeling better soon so I can write something interesting.

Happy Birthday Mom!

It's my Mom's birthday!  On the menu, potato halves stuffed with cheese, California Garden Panini, Two Cheese and Tomato Panini, Mozarella Jalapeno Panini with Garlic Mayo.  Oh, and lemon bars.  I can say this now that my Mom is on her way and there's no way she'll see it, but the theme is DAVID CASSIDY!!!!!  I printed pictures and hung them on the walls, made signs with quotes from songs by David Cassidy or from the Partridge Family.  I am also playing a cd with songs of David Cassidy and The Partridge Family.

For her gifts, I got her a bunch of little things, but the main gift, my sister Taylor and I teamed up and we are giving her quilt room a makeover!  We are painting, organizing, putting up peg boards, etc.  It is going to be awesome!

I love my Mom so much.  I hope that I can make her day amazing.  :-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!

Mom's Birthday!

Tomorrow is my Mom's birthday!  Taylor and I have a lot of stuff planned, but I'll talk about it after my Mom knows about it, or I may ruin the surprise!  I have been cleaning all day to prepare for the birthday party because it's at my house.  We are having panini's for lunch, so I am making an assortment.

Dustin's car wouldn't start this morning.  There's always something else that gives me anxiety.  ALWAYS.

I just wanted to write a quick note.  I'm going back to cleaning.

XOXO

The week is halfway over!

Today, I got a lot of homework done.  I also got some planning done for my Mom's birthday, which is on Saturday.  I am so excited for it!  I didn't eat much today.  I don't have much of an appetite lately.  So, I haven't really cooked.  Anything I have cooked, has been really fast.

I did do some crocheting today though!  I went to church early to sit in quilt group and talk/listen and I work on a blanket that I started when my Uncle Bill died almost 3 years ago.  I think it's 3.  It's either 3 or 4.  I started it when I went to Denver for the funeral.  I worked on it at the viewing, the meal after the funeral, sitting with family, every where.  It was a really devastating time for me.  Anyways, I put the blanket away for a long time once I got home.  I have gotten it out every once in a while between then and now.  It is still hard for me, but it's kind of a healing process I guess.  So, I am working on the blanket and I am going to finish it.  It will be for Dustin's and my first baby girl when/if we have one.  We'll see how I feel about it though.  I'm rather attached to it and it's a lot of work, so it may end up being mine.  It won't have as much meaning to any one else, than it does to me.

I worked nursery tonight.  The twins are SO hyper lately!  They are just all over the place!  It's fun though. I love it!

It's March!

So, March means that Scentsy released their new catalog with new scents and warmers!  I love them all!  

March also means that there are only a little more than 2 months left of the school semester.  I can't wait for summer.  If it's going to be cold outside, it has to be snowing.  Otherwise, I hate the cold!  I LOVE snow.  I can't wait to do gardening in the yard, stain the fence, have water balloon fights, lay in the sun, etc.  It is so much fun with Dustin.

Good news!  I lost 3.2 pounds in the last week.  It's hard, sometimes really hard on some days, but I always remember the first week is the worst.  But, at least the hard work showed up on the scale.  I don't feel it, but yeah.

I have to finish getting ready for school.  Night class tonight....  I may have to use the rest of my points on some coffee....
