making it up to you...

i'm trying, at least...
i don't want to overwhelm you, so i'll get you caught up with may, and add more this week


our kitchen...it's done! (or as close to done as it can be...we need to eventually replace the floor, and we want to cover the ceiling in the reproduction tin tiles...but it's done for now):

the cabinets and backsplash before...{please pay close attention to the PINK paint behind the stove. yes, our kitchen WAS 2 shades of pink with red plush carpet..ugh!}:

and after...{it's hard to see, but the backsplash is embossed wallpaper that we painted with a high gloss to make it look like old tin tiles}...and i finally have a place to display my milk glass collection:

the dining {or "let's-dump-everything-here-on-the-table"} area and corner cabinet before...note the pink baseboard:

and after...the floor is a retro yellow linoleum that was underneath our GORGEOUS red plush...lol! oh, and jackson hates my little embroidered yarn rose pictures, but he's since "learned to live with them" {definition: he didn't have much of a say in the matter}:

jaden's 6th birthday...it was a "candy-themed" party:

i finally gave in and let the girls eat their "whirly pops" from the party:

immediately after the party, ashlyn decided that jaden's BRAND NEW nightgown looked better on her...{and i'm here to tell you, jaden hasn't been allowed to wear it since!}:

the week after jaden's birthday was her dance recital...{that's my sister with her...she's been dancing since she was 3, and she's AMAZING!}:

o.m.g.!

holy crapola, batman!

i just received an order from the fab
Christy Tomlinson...
she's the owner of
Scarlet Lime which is a totally fab kit club.

now, when i say order, i mean ORDER...

we're talking 1,000 sets of labels...which actually equals 9,000 labels!
she plans to include them in her august kit.

so, if i know you and you own a pair of scissors, be very wary when your phone rings. heehee!

it's official...

i'm 30!

today...

yikes!

actually, it doesn't bother me...honest!
i didn't have a sudden insight into life; i don't feel older and wiser or like i can do things now that i couldn't do when i was "younger".

i still feel like me.



...and, since it's my birthday, i'm going to do a little giveaway!
leave me a comment, and i'll draw a name to win a little mini-album kit i created.
