Two years ago Monday, the hubster and I got hitched!

We're celebrating with a short getaway, and can't be more excited!

Also, happy 52nd anniversary to my Grandparents! Thanks for sharing your day with us!

Now onto my top 5 things this week...

20 Summer Projects roundup by Tater Tots & Jello - summer break's just a couple weeks away!, I especially love the reading fort, and not for the kiddos I watch ;)

Paper Flower roundup at The Scrap Shoppe - 16 different ways to make flowers...so many projects running through my head from looking at these!

Adorable Dress Onesie at Running With Scissors - how stinkin' cute...if only I had a sewing machine!

Backyard BBQ Ideas at Lemonade Makin' Mama - strawberry shortcake kabob...enough said!

Chair into Stool at Redoux - I have a million of these chairs sitting in the garage...what a great idea!

So I know it's a little early for July 4th decor, but I was bored at work so decided to make this while the kids were at school and the baby was sleeping. I used a stock photo and Picnik to edit it. I like how it turned out...hope you do too!

Weekend In Review

We got a new umbrella and hammock for out backyard! They look like this...

how exciting!

We've been attending a local church and became members today! Then there was a picnic that followed at a park nearby! We had a blast, but there were ticks everywhere, including the two I found crawling on me shortly after leaving (icky!).

I finally found the perfect knobs for the dresser I'm working on. I've installed them and painted the dresser! I'll show you the whole dresser tomorrow, but for now, here's a sneak peak at the knobs...

LOVE THEM!

Overall, a pretty fun and productive weekend! What about you guys? Do anything fun and exciting?

Amazing Kitchen at Landee See, Landee Do - I'm so jealous of how beautiful her kitchen is!

Dinnertime Doodle Mats at Positively Splendid - fantastic idea

Glass Bottle Makeovers from Mark Mantano - what an easy and cute idea; I'm planning on using this idea soon!

What I've Been Up ToThis Week

I threw a birthday party for my mom,

TIP: for an inexpensive table runner use wrapping paper
made some coasters out of tile and scrapbook paper for part of her present (the other part was the painted garden sign),

and painted some fun plates at a paint your pottery place

I'm currently working on a pinwheel mobile, and I'm still working on the dresser I've been posting about redoing forever...I can't figure out what I want to do with it!
