How to make a skirt!

Craftaholics Anonymous has a great tutorial on how to make a beautiful skirt. I just love what she has done here! I think I am going to try it. :)

Let me know if you did it and make a post on your blog so I can see what you have done... Don't for get to mention me and Craftaholics Anonymous!!!!



Re~Vamp Mirror Project

This started out as a super ugly $15 score I found at St. Vinnies. It was oak and it was heavy. When I brought it home my husband said, "Why" LOL I told him that it was going to be awesome!

First I painted it a red color and it was totally ugly, so my hubby said Erin, just paint it black...so I did... Then I wasn't impressed at all it just what I wanted.

So then I got this color spray paint and loved it...

Did a bit of black charcoal glaze and here is what I get! I love it
.
Today my loving husband hung it up for me! :) It was hang up day around the house and tomorrow he has even more to do! I will let you know in the next blog what all he hung up.

Ta DA!

LOVE FOR LIFE!




Torelan got to see his little girlfriend again today LIBBY JUNE! She is so cute. When we saw her before Thanksgiving she was so much bigger than him and today when I picked her up she felt lighter. Lori thought so too. It was a great visit. Sheryl and Al showed up later in the visit and that was really nice to see them. I was hoping they would show. I got to see Jill and her son Porter too. What a great day. Libby and Tore were so cute they would just stare and smile and coo at each other. Libby even let out a goo goo ga! at him. Too cute! I wish I would have video taped it. :)

Friday Blues


Sitting here at work...Trying to work; totally missing my son! I feel like I never get to see him anymore working 40 hours a week... So sad. He is too much fun. Lots of new things going on at work so lots of concentration is needed! It feels really good being back at work though at the same time. I wish I could work part time that would be really nice, but then that wouldn't be enough time get anything done. Oh well :)

So my Lil Tore~tilini is 11 weeks already wow! too much too soon! Ha!

All in all things are perfect in my life! I just wish that I could be an even better wife to my husband! :)

Eyelash Adventure!

On the way to Eugene with no eyelash extensions! I am so excited and have been waiting for this for sooooo long! I can't wait to get there
.
Here is my first eye getting done! Don't open your eyes while they are putting them on unless you want to feel the burn... Remember lady's this isn't exercise so feeling the burn actually HURTS! ha
!
One eye down! one more to go! Ya I opened my eye so it is kind of watering. But check it out no makeup!

No make up here either... This is the morning after and still beautiful! :)

OH I LOVE THEM

Merry Christmas All!




These are some of my favorite photo's taken by Sue Keith Photography! She does such and awesome job! I can't wait till his next photo session with her. She is so sweet.

Merry Christmas everyone out in cyber blog space! I have been a major blog dis-owner...So bad of me! I have done many projects...like making stockings for my family...and making purses for my friends and family. I didn't blog any of it... I have re~vamped an old window seal with green paint and black glaze, and an old mirror with Red paint and off white glaze and did not blog a single thing... I guess this precious little boy takes up more time than I think he does. Craziness.
Well Merry Christmas to you all and maybe I will get up enough ambition and post some of my projects if I can find the pictures that I took of them...

We have also had a civil war party and an ugly sweater party in the mean time too...which not one of those pictures made it to the blog either! wow! what a bad blogger!

Due Date!! Where is he then???

Well today is the day we have been waiting for! 40 Weeks and counting; October 16th 2010 has been in my head! I just knew he would be here! NOPE WRONG!!!! He isn't ready to leave his mommy yet... Hmmmm... Is this how it is going to be when he is due to go to college. LOL
I am so ready to get this baby out of my belly and on to the next phase of life. I am ready to meet him as I am sure his dad and the rest of the family is. So when will you come Baby DeSantis... When will you bless us with your beautiful face that we haven't been able to lay our eyes on yet.
I had a dream a few nights ago and this was the first time I have seen his little face and he was so cute! His little eyes were just batting at me while I held him in my arms.
Went to the doctors yesterday and still no dilation. I go back on Monday for a NST test and an ultrasound to make sure all is good... Then off to River Bend Hospital Wednesday at 4:30 to be induced, if he isn't here by then.
Such a crazy adventure this last 40 weeks has been. I couldn't wait to get a belly now I can wait to get my belly back! Oh to have a waist again. Don't get me wrong I have loved this pregnancy but boy oh boy I am soooooo done. I want to be able to bend over and touch my feet or even just get off the couch without gasping for air!
Well I hope my next post is a bundle of baby joy! Stay Tuned...
Thank you Brandi Jo for the due date gift! That was sooooooo Cute!

Time To Drive

My 15 year old daughter got her permit Friday! Wow! Crazy how fast they grow up. Her older sister Brionna is 16 and hasn't got her permit yet... but now bound and determined to be right up there with her sister. She has to get her permit now. She can't let Lacey have get her Drivers license before her! How funny her little sister finally sparked that flame I knew she had. So needless to say that I haven't sat in my drivers seat all weekend! Althought it is pretty scarey for your teen to be behind the wheel; I actually enjoy it!
