April 8th, Photo-A-Day Treasure
Today’s Photo-A-Day is Treasure. Wayyyyyyy back when The Husband and I went through a time; like everyone does where you struggle to make ends meet. Like send the electric bill to the the phone bill people just to try and stretch out the time before the phones went dead. It was Christmas time and we were struggling to put presents under the tree. I hit every Goodwill, Amvets, and thrift store within a 25 miles radius. I washed, ironed and wrapped presents. I made toys. We really stretched our budget to the max for Christmas. Then I did something sooooooooo stupid. I used a large portion of my budget for…

April 7th Photo-A-Day When I Wake Up
Photo-A-Day When I wake up. Prepare to be jealous. I still can’t believe the amazing view we are blessed with. When we lived in California our view was bumper to bumper cars on the street. An apartment complex. A yard with dirt so hard that nothing would grow and a house that seemed to shrink every year. Our new master bedroom is bigger than 4 rooms combined in the Vista house. The area of town we lived in was getting worse and worse by the day. Even with double paned windows the noise outside from stereos, cars and what seemed to be endless parties would make the walls shake. Our…

April 6th Photo-A-Day In The Kitchen
Day 37 of my own personal Photo-A-Day challenge. SWEEEEEEEET!!! If you are new here I have hit a rut with my blogging so I decided to share pictures from our new home in Sandpoint, Idaho. The entire month of March I dedicated to my amazing craft-room. It’s HUGE!!!! It’s also very chaotic at times. Okay most of the time, let’s not dwell on the mess! I actually prefer to call it a creative process. I like that! I’m going to keep using it. Aside from scaring several people with my mess, the sheer size of the room or the dolls. Soooo sorry Heather! Guess I should have put a warning…

April 3 Photo-A-Day SHAPES
Photo-A-Day Shapes. When we bought this house the previous owners left the table. Probably because of the sheer size! It’s massive. It’s solid. It’s HEAVY!! It looks as if it’s handmade. It’s so pretty. I plan to LIGHTLY sand the table and apply a dark stain to it. I just want the coffee rings off, but to keep the character marks. I plan to recover the cushions. I bought a plain dark brown material. It’s all on the very long ‘to do list’ Seriously, by the time I get my list done I’ll be 110 years old. ANDDDDDDD mostly I’m lazy, well more like easily sidetracked. Like photos a day.…
