Bed Rest?

WOW!!! I really need to write on this thing more often.... I have been so busy. I am on bed rest and have been for the past month but honestly, I have a one and two year old so it doesn't really happen... Speaking of bed rest, I bought a headboard and footboard for my bedroom! IT IS GORGEOUS!!! The even more beautiful thing about it is, it was only $45.00! It was imported and handmade in Mexico it is solid and beyond gorgeous! I will post pictures of it soon!

I will show pictures of some of my latest projects....

I bought this little thing for $5.00 I saw the potential immediately.

I added a coat of Honey Milk Valspar paint, and made a pillow cover out of burlap (gunny sack) material. I have had a thing for burlap covered pillows for quite some time but I would NEVER pay full price for one. So I bought my own burlap and made one and then I added a little something extra to it... BLESSED.

I also found an old treasure chest that I have been looking for for quite some time. I could never justify paying over $100.00 dollars for it so.... I found my solid wood treasure chest last week for $5.00! Can you believe it?

I really Wish that I could show the rest but they are of baby's nursery, and it would totally give it away!

HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!

This n' That

A little bit of EVERYTHING! I will show some crafts, furniture redo, photography, recipes and many more things that I just simply get tickled about.

Today, I woke up super early made omelettes, and had delicious fresh grapes. Dawson and Avery love to have a big breakfast :) After that we all scurried around to get ready and then off to run some errands and then go to.... THE THRIFT STORE:) I go to look at furniture. I am so into re-vamping these days it isn't even funny. It is contagious! I found this old bookshelf organizer thingy.... Whatever you call it. Right now it isn't much of anything but I am debating on if I should buy it or not... It is only ten dollars! SOLID WOOD, and calling my name.

I think I need it!

I will have Mr. Hubby man come look at it with me tomorrow morning!

That is if we aren't cleaning fish......

GROSS!

I have never even touched a fish in my life before and now we have to clean and freezer pack ninety of them (I don't know how my stomach will handle this... Lately, I have been getting queasy over boogers which normally I wouldn't even be fased)!!! Yes, I said NINETY! Dwayne and a good friend of ours went out and in less than 24 hours caught that many.

Well Miss Avery is calling my name so I better be going and tend to my little ladybug!

Ta~Ta for now,

Allison

Oh and I cleaned the garage for two hours today it is now a calm relaxed area in which you won't get lost in :) PRAISE THE LORD!

Thrity Little Fingerprints

Well... I am sitting here on a beautiful calm evening. Windows wide open snuggled in my bed and the sun is still up over the mountains and it is 11:00 p.m. My amazing husband of almost four years is out dip netting for Salmon and is so excited to come home and fill the deep freeze for the long harsh winter ahead. My two beautiful children Dawson (2) Avery (1) are fast asleep and I love watching them sleep so peacefully. Ahhhhh... sigh... they are amazing and I am so blessed to be their mom. I am also being kicked and punched in the stomach along with the constant jumping of hiccups... I am expecting our third miracle from above in just one month. My husband and I do know the gender but are keeping it a secret from his side of the family (they like it to be a huge surprise, however my family wants to know the gender of the baby the day you find out that you are expecting haha) so I can't yet release that info. Well this is going to be a short first entry... but why did I choose the name Thirty Little Fingerprints?... These Thirty Little Fingerprints (ten fingers multiplied by three little lovies) are what inspires me everyday to be the best person that I can be, and live my life to the fullest, and have the heart of a child. I look at my windows, mirrors or anywhere else where there are those sweet little smudge marks and smile because I am so blessed to be called "Mommy" and those Thirty Little Fingerprints were all created in me and I am SO BLESSED that they are mine.

Here are some pictures that I took this last week......

(for some reason it came up like this??? I will figure it all out eventually)
