What to do with that Wedding Dress?

I've had my wedding dress boxed up for more than ten years now...

with all the air sucked out of it like a big beef jerky...

I couldn't stand it any longer...

every time I organize and clean the house I keep running into that BOX...

where to put it?

garage?

bedroom?

craft/office room?

bathroom???

well the other day I threw caution to the wind and said screw it!

lets open the sucker and put it in the DRESS UP BOX!!!

it was so much FUN!

I Bribe My Children...

It's true...I do...

I went down to one of my FAVORITE stores in Ocean Beach the other day...

and I took my youngest...

I told her if she didn't touch anything I would buy her an Ice Cream cone...

she was sooo good and at one point said.."ooohhh everything is so PRETTY can YOU touch it for me!!!!"

oh my goodness! I bought her two cones...

Rainy Day Fun

It rained this weekend and we stayed in ALL day...

we built a fire... got cozy...and did a little painting...

Ballet Valentines...

seems like Valentines Day is on it's way...

Lucie's new Ballet class is having a little party so we made lollypop flowers...

you take four cut out hearts ....

put them together hole punch them...

pop lolly through...

fan out petals...

glue together...

give to a bff...

I think I NEED ONE....

Of these....

really I am very picky where I spend my money..

I really try to only buy it if I really need it...

and our main living area has no over head lighting and it gets DARK ...

even with just the few mish -mosh of lamps I have in there...

soo...I really think I NEED one....

I know there are plenty of things that need attention here at the never ending fixer-up-er!

the yard...

the pool...

the fence...

the windows...

more trees...

the driveway...

you get the drift...

but you have to start some where right???
