Vinegar Pie!


Looks like somebody's bitter at the conversation hearts factory...





Weekend Wrap-up

I've learned to keep myself pretty busy on weekends Coop's at his dad's and this weekend has been no exception. I've battled a really obnoxious sinus infection with fever on and off this weekend, but sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

So....here's my weekend:
Friday - *renewed drivers license (that expired on August 30th...whatever)
*scored some excellent JUNK
*made a t-shirt scarf
*finished one book (Lily's Crossing, Patricia Reilly Giff), started another (Willow Run, Patricia Reilly Giff)
*made some home-made hurricane vases and apothecary jars
*got together a cute-sy Valentine display for the island in my kitchen
*downloaded all the pics on my camera to walgreens.com - - FINALLY!

Saturday -
*stayed in bed most of the day, which allowed me to finish my book (Willow Run), and read one more. (It's not the end of the world, Judy Blume)<----book nerd.
*ate some yum Mexican food in another state...lol
*played Bingo for the first time ever (and won!)
*spent some good quality "talking time" with a friend that I could never see enough of (love my trecia!)
*drooled over EVERYTHING in all three Pottery Barn magazines that came in the mail. Even PB Teen. Dorky, I know.
*read some more (Eleven, Patricia Reilly Giff)!

Sunday - *stayed home from church because I had fever. ugh.
*Read Bridge to Terabithia...and cried. and loved it.
*Made three Halloween wreaths (why halloween?? i don't know)
*made a valentine bunting
*posted on the crafty blog
*updated THIS blog ;)

and....now I can hear the neglected laundry calling my name. Whew..I'm tired. Ready to see my Cooper man tomorrow!

You are....

You are the best thing that's ever been mine.



Hello, 2011. Nice to meet you.

It's a brand new year. 2011. It's gonna be good. I can feel it.

Things I'm going to love about 2011:

Watching my baby boy grow, grow, grow.
Giving up some bad habits.
Learning new things.
My new sewing machine.
No lawyer bills.
NO debt. (ok, so that'll be LATE 2011)
Soaking up as much precious time with my Paw Paw Middleton as I can.
Taking better care of myself.
Breaking down the "wall of China" I have around my heart. This one's gonna be tough.


I love having hope that things will get better. I am FULL of hope.
