Guess what today is??
It is DIY Sunday!! Yipppeeeee! I am sure Ryan does NOT share my excitement. So, I am planning to work on my brooch project and start refinishing the dining room set that I bought. I don't think I told ya'll about the dining set that I found on craigslist....but I got a really good deal. I will share some pictures tonight.

Ca-Cawwww!!!!
If I could include some audio with this post you would really get the feel for the title of this post. I think most of you can hear me running around saying that. Anywho, the point of the post is this....
The birds were trying to take over the joint on Sunday. Ewwwww it is giving me the heebie jeebies just looking at the picture.
Annnddd there they go. Lucky for us the didn't peck any of our eyes out and left us unharmed ;)
Then mom gave me a little something from my Grandma and Grandpa's house. Just my thinking, but do you think she is trying to tell me something?
Yep I think mom is telling me that it is about time I learn how to sew! Nawwwwww, I've made it this far in life without knowing....I think I will survive. However, something tells me if I make some of the clothes in that book I might not be so "modern". Ya never know though, chances are pretty good the styles in the book may have made their way back!
Finally, here is a little something else I got from Grandpa's house.
These were some brooch's that belonged to my grandma. I wanted to do something special with them and found an awesome idea to re-purpose them on one of my absolutely new favorite blogs. I can't tell you what I am going to do until I have them done! Then I will share the blog where I borrowed the idea from.
As a side note, I am totally in love with Pier 1 lately! I think a road trip is in my near future. Look out!!

Dear Lumber Liquidators:
I really CANNOT believe that you sold out of my favorite wood flooring :( I am secretly crying over here....no really I am. Lame, I know!!
Remember what it looked like?
Remember what it looked like?
Annnndddd that is what I think about my wood floor sitch or lack thereof!
(WOW, sorry to hit you with that beautiful frightening picture at lunch time)
Ok, ok so it wasn't that I was absolutely in love with the color and couldn't find another color that I liked but I WAS absolutely in love with the price. Sooooooooo back to the drawing board.
Anybody know of any other places that sell wood flooring for a screamin' deal???
Onto a happier note. I just ordered a new camera and it is supposed to arrive on Saturday. Woohhoooo!! Hopefully it will make me look better than I do in the picture above......MAYBE!
Here it is.
I am sooooooo excited. I am sure you are going to have to beg me to STOP taking pictures.

Tap, tap, tap is this thing on????
Hello my loyal followers!! Did you miss me yet??? Yep I gotta figure I've been gone long enough for you to miss me. Sooooooo I am back and get prepared for WAY too many pictures! You wanna know why? Cuz I ordered my new camera today!!! It should be here by the weekend and I can't wait.
We just took a few family pictures on the property this weekend for our Christmas cards. My plan is that by next year our family Christmas card will have OUR NEW HOUSE in the background.
I have PLENTY to update ya'll on....however before I get into the nitty gritty, here are some of the extra pictures from this weekend :-)
Oh and just a little preview on the updates, after all that obsession I had over dark red brick and white siding we have decided to do the out side with some stone, siding and shakers.....see what happens when you have WAY too much time to plan ;)
Here is kind of what we are going with......
LOVE IT!! Happy to be back and chat with ya soon.
P.S. Mom, don't have the big one cuz I actually blogged tonight ;)

Of course I need a new patio set!!
Uhmmmm DUH why wouldn't I need a new patio set? I mean I don't have a house let alone a patio to put it on. However, don't worry your pretty little head, cuz I did indeed score a brand new patio set for my non-existent house with my non-existent patio :-)
Yep you heard me correctly. Let me take you back to May....I have been eyeing up this patio set at Kroger for MONTHS!! Every time my mommy and I would stop at Kroger in A2 I would look at it adoringly. Annnnnddddd just like clockwork my mom would say why don't you just buy it?!!? I would shake my head and move on because it was 600 BUCKS!! Waaayyyyyy too pricey for my blood.
Fast forward to 3 weeks ago. Mom and I stopped at the same Kroger in A2 and there was the last floor model market down to 299 bucks. While that was a good deal, it still wasn't cheap enough for my blood!
Soooooooooo, I stopped at the Kroger in Sylvania the day before we were to head to the Lake for a week of vacation and there it was like a beacon in the night....my fave patio set, brand new in the box for............scroll down.............wait for it........
150 BUCKS!!!!!!! So what did I do? I called my mommy again and she said DO IT (read: I am tired of hearing you talk about it so BUY IT ALREADY)!!
So, here it is:
Yup I love it!! Let me tell you that Ryan was really impressed when I told him that we needed to take his truck down to Kroger the next day to pick it up. I will not go into any details about Ryan and I trying to load it in his truck and me thinking he blew his bicep out again. We'll just keep that between us! YIKES!!
Ok, do ya'll like the fact that I have pretended like I haven't blogged for 7 weeks? I thougt if I didn't point it out, then nobody would notice.
So here is the scoop! I think we have decided to change our exterior. We are pretty excited about it. Not only do we think it is more unique but it is going to save us some moolah :-)
Oh on another note, if all goes well we are hoping to start our barn in September! Wooohhooooo, I think I am going to have plenty to keep you updated on now.....I PROMISE!!
