Goal #35 Make a Bedskirt

So I FINALLY got the bedskirt completed last week. This was the project that just didn't want to get completed. I tried so many times to get it done and something would always get in the way. I ended up taking it to my mother-in-laws house and she sewed the last part of it because my machine just wasn't having any of it. It's not exactly the look I was going for, but it's something and it's done, so it's staying.

#17 Family Proclamation

For those who know me, you know what a picture fanatic I am. I love taking them and scrapbooking them and viewing them...especially of friends and family. 

Enter the dead space over my spare bed. It was screaming to be decorated. About a year ago I bought a cute little iron scroll and voila...an idea was formed. The time consuming part was picking out pictures, resizing, printing, cutting...

I wanted to put pictures of friends and family around the Proclamation, but quite frankly, my family is getting so big that I couldn't put everyone on there and I didn't want to leave anyone out. So I found pictures of Rhett and me that evoke a happy memory to decorated the frame. On either side of the Proclamation is a family picture. One of mine, one of Rhett's.

We're so blessed to have such great families. I'm so grateful that my parents were in a loving, happy relationship. It taught me to be the wife that I am. I hope that when I have children I can be as good of an example to them that my parents are to me.



I know you're envious of the fabulous bedding! See goal #31 on my 101 list!

#89 Build a Snowman

I really wasn't expecting to complete this one so quickly. But when we went up to Utah to hunt for a Christmas tree the opportunity just presented itself. 

So the snowman was only about 18 inches tall, but I still made one! Nobody told me how difficult it was going to be! I found a couple of rocks for the eyes and some pine needles for the nose and arms. The snowman only lasted about two minutes before Mason decided to knock it's head off. I got one picture in and was on my second when he took the snowman's head for a baseball and his arm for a bat. The first picture below was just a second or two after he did it, so you can still see the devious little expression on his face. But do you really think I could stay mad at him? Look at that cutie!

He was awefully proud of himself.


My pathetic little snowman.
