Where did she come from??

My friend, Sarah Hancock had a little girls night get together the other night. When I showed up, late of course, I found this beautiful display of food and hostess-ing. I didn't know Sarah could do any of this cutsie stuff, even though shes pretty creative.......it looked like a wedding or something. I couldn't help but take a couple of pictures. It was so cute! She even had real plates.....a long gone tradition in Mormon culture *tear*

I might have to steal some of her ideas! Little touches I loved......

* Varying levels with black cloth draped over them

* Menu written on the white plate that had ribbon laced through it

* I mentioned the "real" plates.....sophisticated....

* Fresh cut flowers to accent the black and white theme

* Miniature bottles of dasani water

* One of my favorite finger foods was half a grape tomato and half a mozzarella ball sitting on a skewer laying in a small dab of olive oil.

It feels so good!

Since my little midnight rendez-vous with my kitchen, I have been on a roll in mi casa! It feels so good to accomplish things and get things back in place and feel like im on track. There is still a lot to be done and I know these things come and go in spurts so for now im just enjoying the ride.

Ive taken 8 to 10 big bags to Deseret Industries Thrift store and dumped so much junk! I always get this urge this time of year it seems.

Sam and I also decided were going to do a little renovation in the house and turn one of the open spaces in our house into a guest bedroom. We have two sitting areas that are underused so Im excited to get rid of one of them and hopefully create a more functional area upstairs by our living room.

I also want to create a nice office space for me in a corner of our bedroom. New laptop on my wish list also...lol

Back From the Dead

and look what I did....between 1 and 3 am this morning.....

I AM BACK ON THE BANDWAGON AND WILL HAVE PROJECTS AND MORE COMING SOON!

p.s. this picture is to get me motivated when i want to crawl in a corner and cry about how messy and dirty my house is....note to self, "it can be done!"
