Something old to something new

One of my favorite things to do is to buy old items from the thrift store and "spruce" them up a bit to make them my own. I never see things as they are, but how I can fix them up to become new and up to date. Here is a small shelf with cross stitch in it, but I see it as a photo frame and key holder. It was $1.50, scratched, and needed a fresh coat of stain. Stay tuned to see what I can come up with! (Petend the hooks aren't there. I added them before taking my "before" photo.)

Back from a great trip

Here we are, on the beach in Samoa on miles' birthday. I love this picture with everyone smiling, the rain just beginning to fall and not a care in the world. I would highly recommend a far away vacation to everyone!

A post! Hooray for posting a post!

This is my first official post, by myself without any help. So far, so good!

Saturdays are the best. I get so much done when Lema is home. I miss him during the week, even though we see him every afternoon after work. There's just nothing better than spending a day together as a family. Wouldn't it be nice to stay home and still get paid for it? How would it be.......

I just can't get enough of Miles and his cute cheeks and toothy smile. Hard to believe he is almost one.

It's late, but I have to say this blogging thing may become addicting. :)
