DIY Projects Galore!

Okay, call me crazy, but the other day I saw an estate sale sign and I had to follow...

Shane thinks I am crazy for liking yard sales. Sure, most of them are full of junk and a waste of time. BUT you never know what you will find. Example: This blog post!

I found 3 items and spent $5.00! I got an old ugly window and two really neat vinatge lanterns. They just needed to be dusted off, wasp nests taken out of the top and scrubbed a little. Best $3 purchase I've made in a long time.

Now for the real project. I always have tons of ideas running through my head and this one actually came to fruition! I bought an old window for $2, he was going to just throw it away if it didn't sell. I took it home and immediately started my project. The first thing I did was clean it and sand off the chipped old paint.

Next, I taped off the windows and used some paper I had (I didn't have any painter's tape handy)

After a little spray paint and peacock feathers I already had, the old window is now glamorous and has a new home!

VOILA!!!!

Presley Update:

He got his first scratch yesterday :( He did it in his sleep. Even though this momma keeps his nails short it still happened. BOO! I know it's no big deal, but everything that happens with him is a HUGE deal! Haha

So Many Ideas. Really, SO Many...

Have you ever thought that you have so many ideas of things you want to do? That is me...all the time. I have a creative mind and I always think of craft ideas and things that I want to make. I usually make a few, sell them and then I move on to the next thing. I've made things for a long time but recently I think me and my sis-in-law are onto something, lol. More on this soon...

Right now, I am so lucky that I stay home with Presley. Oh, I am also a realtor when needed. For instance, I have my house listed and I'm about to help a couple moving here find a house. I love real estate and I love the flexibility it gives me. If I need to show houses my mom or mil will gladly watch Presley for a few hours. I feel blessed. I love that in real estate you can make great money and not have to put in the 8-5 hours five days a week like I used to do. Sure you can be showing houses after 5p when your client gets off work, but it's not a constant. I also love Vintage Couture (the kids clothing line I love) which is something else I dabble in. I honestly do it to get the discount for myself, and the clothes are so adorable I have friends and they have friends who want to buy them for their kids. I'm not in it to make a real living off of it but I do love throwing the parties and showing other people the adorable clothing. It's super fun! I'm also currently selling some of my dads equipment on ebay. I mean how different could all of these things be that I do? LOL.

I do have my dream job though because every day I get to hang out all day with the cutest little guy I know. He smiles at me and nothing else in the world even exists in that moment. I can't believe baby Presley is 4 months old. It gets more fun every day!!!! Today we ended the day with a visit to Great Grandpa Ted & JoAnn's house. Presley is so lucky that he has both sets of GREAT GRANDPARENTS on Shane's side. How cool is that?!

Oh and I have become quite the picture taker since having Presley.
