Crafty stuff and organization, two of my favorite things

So I decided to combine the both of them. This is what I came up with.

This is what happens when....

....you combine a piece of plywood, some cool fabric, an egg crate mattress pad, some batting, a staple gun, and a cat....

The Wall Hanging Project

So I hit up the Goodwill and Salvation Army yesterday and found a few good things.  One of which I transformed into a very cute wall hanging.  Since I have taken down all my "personal" things from my walls I needed to find something to fill them back up.  So voila!

Still...trying...to...sell...my...condo...

It just screams out "BUY ME!! BUY ME!!", doesn't it?

$131, 900.....thats a bargain!  1120 square feet, 2 walk in closets, no mowing the lawn or shoveling, friendly neighbors, cul-de-sac, what more could you possibly ask for?  I mean really...

Our Trip To New York December 17th 2010

So Chris and I went to New York City for my birthday.  We visited the gigantic Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center and went ice skating.  Chris surprised me when we were getting our picture taken in front of the Christmas tree.  He got down on one knee and popped the question!!  We had a woman take the first two pictures and another one volunteered to take the other ones.  She was as excited as we were!  Also another man kept congratulating us!  Like three times he did!  Ha ha!  People clapped and "awww"ed.  It was all very nice.  Thats why I love him! 

 Ok ok, on to the pictures......

This is the front of out hotel all decorated for the holidays

The Jewelry Box Project
