happy birthday to...

me. 
Yup, today is my birthday.  It's been a great day, too.  I woke up to 29 reason I'm lovable (all written by my dear husband) taped to the cabinets in our kitchen. 

Actually, my 6 year old son woke me up asking me if these were clues to a toy hunt taped to the cabinets.  Ha Ha Ha...kids are great, huh?

My husband also reloaded my i tunes balance (love me some music) and helped me reorganize my craft room/studio.  He hung a curtain rod for me to hang the purses I make once they are completed.

He also put up some frames and shelves to hold all my junk treasures.

Oh, and he bought me this table and put it up all in the same day.  It folds flat when I'm not using it.

(Nevermind the ugly wood trim.  I'm hoping to paint it one day and hopefully replace the carpet too)

Here is my little sewing nook.  I plan on painting my sewing table a fun color but haven't decided what color yet.  Well, and I haven't had much time to worry about painting it.  I've got a ton of sewing to do people.

I refolded ALL the fabric I have in the closet (which is a lot).

It's stacked top to bottom.

The cool thing about refolding it all was finding fabric I forgot I had.  It's like it's all new all over again.  Happy Birthday Lacy!

25 forever

Well, tomorrow is the big day. I turn yet another year older, blah! For the last year (or so) I have been sticking with the great age of 25 and I just don't see how this year should be any different. 25 is a great age, right?

The upside of my reoccurring doom (oops, I mean birthday) is that I am treated like a queen and who doesn't love that?! I will most likely be woken by a slobbery kiss (reeking of morning breath) by my 4 year old and won't be asked to do much around the house. Housework can wait, right? I mean I only turn 25 once.

However tomorrow will be a special 25th birthday. My mom is flying in from Arizona and we are spending a night in Fargo. It'll be nice to have a wide variety of stores, movie theatres, restaurants, etc. Living up here in the sticks we just don't get those things (without a tank of gas and an hour or 2 of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse playing over and over in the car).

So we'll shop, get my hair done, eat at restaurants, and maybe see a movie. Then we'll head back here for a week's worth of fun with my mom. It's been about 2 months since I have seen her and we're pretty close so tomorrow can't come any sooner for me.

This photo was taken at our last Halloween party. Hopefully we'll get some new photos soon.
