Good Morning Glitter!

Last year at the Remnants of the Past Flea Market, I fell in love with glitter eggs. Just got around to tossing some glue on some wooden eggs I bought. Hmmm, what a little crafters glue and Martha's glitter can do!!! I plan to 1. package them and put them in my booth 2. put them in nests in my house. So fun!!!

My latest project...Tea Towels and a ruffle. I cheated and bought the ruffle. Not confident to use the new sewing machine mom bought me for Christmas.

Off to work in the class - Enjoy a great day!

Hugs, Molly

Love Like CRAZY........

I found a saying, not realizing it was a hit song, and fell in love. Just a simple reminder of how a few words can change us living in a wild and crazy world. We ALL fall short, yet we can all try do our best.

I bought a darling little cabinet at my Favorite Flea Market..Remnants of The Past.  Below is the transformation it has gone through.  

Started green (took before picture halfway through project).

Painted it a light gray....too light for my taste, next day rubbed it with a Seal Gray and LOVED IT!! Just to my liking I will say.

Here is the finished project...and how did I forget to paint the drawer on the bottom?? Oh yea, I do all my work after 11 pm. How did I just notice it? Who knows but how funny, guess I will go grab a paint brush and get to work.
Did the same to my Buffet in the Dining Room.  Me no Likey the light Gray!!! Paint in hand, rubbed it with the darker gray (a towel did the trick). LOVE IT!

So much better

A small glimpse of my booth...I share with two other gals 

Have a most fabulous week!

Hearts and Hugs,

Wooden Crates...oh my

So, Im on my way to grab my 4 year old from the sitter and I glance to my right, just off the road, is a man LOADING a trailer with old wooden crates. SKKKKREEEEETCH...I spin a 180 and I am pulling up next to this man. I rolled my window down, grabbed his attention AND....next thing I know, he is following me, to my house, with a trailer full of aged wood. I quickly called EJ (my husband), told him to not ask Q's, but just roll with it. He comes out, I throw him gloves, they unload and I am off to my start my new project for 2011....suggestions welcome :)

Goodbye 2010..Looking forward to blogging in 2011

a piece of Heaven!

I finally put the last of the decor away this evening. I always get a bit depressed when the holidays are over. This year felt different, this year was very different. We had a wedding during the holiday season and two family funerals. It was busy, is was emotional, it is timeto move forward. Before I take the first step into 2010..here is a glimpse of our holidays.

Started with the Bridal Shower....oh how I love Weddings and being a part of the decor team.

an inspiration tree, the bridal guest dropped a note to our bride in the cone

our brides place setting, along with her crown

my 3 littles were in the wedding party..so beautiful!

a couple days in the City during the holidays

We baked and we baked!!

the tree I long to create next year...

I look forward to learning more about the blogging world, maybe gain just a few more followers. I would love for someone to share , how to add the music to my posts. I might even get the guts to tell my friends and family about my blog. Truly, only about 3 people are aware that I even joined the world of bloggers. Why??? Well, I need to get more comfortable and set aside more time to update. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

An end to a fabulous Season!

We went simple and chic this year..A holiday evening of blogging and wine :)
Our annual Sugar Cookie baking night with the ladies..
Chalkboard festive and fun..

May this year be Merry and Bright! Hope you all had a most fabulous Christmas. We had a great time in the City, time with family and a very relaxing Christmas day spent around the fire enjoying each other ~ jammies until dinner..ahhhh

A small thought!

Sunday?? Really??? that was fast...ok , we have 13 days until Christmas. Im really out of sorts this year. Decor not just perfect, lights not even drizzled along the eves...presents not all purchased, cards sitting on dining room table, 70 degree weather and no snow..not even frost, BUT I have shelter, I have a beautiful family and I have Christ. I guess I really am ready for Christmas, actually, I can hardly wait until Christmas morning and family hanging out in jammies until noon. Wow, thanks for listening, scratch that..reading. I feel better! Here is a little more Christmas love to share:

A child is born...

A bird nesting

On our way to see little Miss Laney in her Christmas show...proud older sister.

No stage fright here, nope, she is on her way in the door to become the cutest cow ever in the Christmas show. Love that kid!!!!!!

Glow....o o o o...o o o o... o o o o..RIA!!!!

Tis the Season My Friends!!!! What a beautiful time of year. In California, it is a bit warm still. A few days of high 50's, hardly any rain but the festivities have begun. smile...sip of wine, and a huge ..GIGANTIC ...."May the Lord Bless you this Season!!!"

Thought I would share a little of my last few weeks. We have been amazingly and happily busy with funerals, weddings, retirements and everyday to do's. We feel blessed, we feel nuts and we feel out of control. But here is a bit of our craziness..wondering if you empathize?? Have you already wrapped, baked and delivered?? Just curious :)

Delaney Faith....she always jumps in posts !

A little Christmas love

Sideways but sweet :)

Christmas Tree complete!

Eat, Drink be happy...do all things for Christ. We did a wine tasting ...winner is???? Le Crema
