I'm back! Well, not that I went anywhere, but it has been 2 weeks since I've updated this crazy blog. Time is flying by, and as we get into the holiday season, I know it will go even faster. Thanks for the emails checking up on me though...we're ok, just busy!! Actually, the littles are both sick, so I'm sure within in the next week I will have their cold too. This is the first time Gracie has been sick,(yep, almost made it a whole year illness free!) so of course I'm like a first time Mom worrying every time she coughs or sneezes :)
Ok, so here's what's been going on...
We LOVED
Star Wars in concert! Even me that is
so not a Star Wars fan loved it. We had wonderful seats, and were right up close to the orchestra as they played the music, while we watched different parts of all 6 movies. There were also costumes, props
and the all important light sabers on display too. I have seen all movies over the years, starting with the first one as a kid in the 70's, but have never really been "into" them, but by the time it was over, I was standing and cheering along with the rest of the crowd!. For Tucker, that lives and breaths Star Wars, it was "his most favorite thing ever" according to him.
I've been scrapbooking
a little, but mostly been trying to organize and go through all my scrapbooking supplies. Working at a scrapbook store for 6 years you accumulate so much, and at some point you need to get rid of some of it. By the way, last Friday was 1 year since I worked at Strictly. Yep, time is going fast!
I went to the Flea Market this past weekend. It's one of my favorite things to do, and since there are so many booths that have vintage Star Wars things, it is one of Tucker's favorite things too. One lady asked how I convinced my son to come with me that day. Before I could answer, Tucker told her "oh it was my idea, I had to convince my mom to come today". LOL His big find of the day, an excellent condition, Star Wars encyclopedia that sold for $49.99 that he paid $7.00 for.
My big find of the day, this sterling silver teapot with the tag still attached, that I bought for $1.00!
This is going to be beautiful after I shine this baby up!
I also bought some sweet vintage Hobnail Milk Glass bowls. I plan on using these pieces in my scrapbook room. So cute!
We bought Gracie a little doll stroller/walker. She is so crazy spazzy walking with it, but is so darn cute. She walks her baby all over the house.
Over and over again.
The house is finally finished being painted. It is so darn stressful trying to choose a color, especially since you're stuck with it for 10-15 years. I love how the color looks though, it's such a pretty shade of green with beautiful white trim. I still need to take a few pictures to share.
Sorry this was so long, I need to blog more often!!
(as you can see, I had fun using my Cricut to make the cute pink and green party decor!)
She loved her pinata from her Auntie Jessica & Uncle John!
This was the invitation that I made. I just took our address and phone # off to post it here : )
