Frou Frou Gypsy in Combat Boots

I really do love this color and i wish i had actually finished the room by now and could show better photos...but this is all I have. I hope it helps a little at least! I had someone ask about photos of my bathroom that I repainted in January. I used Sherwin Williams Tidewater. I have STILL not finished this room, so i haven't posted photos, but here are a few shots so you can get a bit of the idea.

Here are the last few photos from the mother-daughter banquet. the table above is a "pretty Pink" table and the one below had a butterfly theme... This one is ''His eye is on the sparrow" A fun Beach table! Npah's Ark and this one, below, is the Sweet Life....so fun! It won 4th place! This Candy Land Table won 3rd place! It was totally cute! I think there may have been a few tables i didn't get photos of...but it was so much fun! We are all planning on next year already!

The two photos below are of the first place table! It was really beautiful! my photos do not do it justice! The theme for this table was fairies! can you see the fairy dust? This little country cutie is the other table i threw together at the last minute. I don't think it turned out too bad!

Here are some images from one of my favorite tables at our Table party...I said it reminded me of Mommy Prom because we were all so excited about it and fussing over our tables and all for weeks that it was like prom. Anyway, this table was excellent! You had to get in close and pay attention to the deatils....which i totally did, but didn't get many pictures of! silly me! Totally cute, right?

We held a Mother Daughter Dinner at our Church. Many different people decorated tables...here are some shots of mine. It was an Alice in Wonderland theme!

so i have been so buy that i haven't been around to post much. sorry. I know you are checking often for a new post *NOT*...but I really should be better about posting stuff here!

My daughter who never wants to participate in anything .....wanted to run in the Mercedes Kids' Marathon! wow. She certainly does NOT get Her athletic ability or ambition from me! The kids run all but the last mile during school over the course of a few months. They run the last mile on race day! We were so proud of her! I think she ran the entire mile!!!

With Valentine's Day only a few days away I had to share these! I set up some little mail boxes for each of us in the Living room and the kids have had so much fun leaving letters for all of us and checking their mail boxes to see if they have mail! We have a busy two days of celebrating ahead of us and then i am packing to go out of town with my girl friends for a long weekend! YIPPEE!

Today after church, the family did a little bit of SWEET family time in the kitchen. Hub and I have been haunted by a Chocolate cake with Peanut butter filling recipe for a few weeks, and today was the day! The cake is made with good old fashioned love and ingredients right from your pantry! No boxed cake mix required! The filling, is super yummy too! I added a bit more peanut butter than what the recipe called for. I wanted a bit more of a peanutty taste! No one I know has as much fun licking the spatula and beater as Lula! She gets so excited about it! I thought she might have to fight her Dad off to get it; but he played nice today! About this point James got bored with the whole cooking thing and resorted to playing online! Oh well, at least he was still in the Kitchen! I ask you, have you ever seen anything as sexy as a man doing the dishes? I think NOT! After what seemed like forever, the cake was done in all its chocolate and peanut buttery goodness! The cake and filling...

enjoy!
