10 Things You Might Not Have Known!

Hi Everyone!!!!! To start off, today is Wake-Up Wednesday and last week the challenge was to write a note to someone that inspires you. I wrote one to my mommy!! I have not had a chance to give her it yet but can't wait! I will update everyone when she gets it!!!

The weeks challenge is to visit someone elderly! You can visit a neighbor, family member, or even go to a nursing home. Make someones day a little brighter!!!

Cleaning and Organizing Day!

Well today started off with a goal of cleaning and decluttering some of those spots I just never get to. I have wanted to throw away stuff and make those spots look better for a while but just havent gotten around to it.

Here is a before of the buffet table in the dining room. It usually gets kids school papers thrown on it and coupons, after I go through the paper.

And here is the after!!! Much better!!!

The next project was to clean off was the kitchen island. It is the worst clutter spot in my whole house (ok, other than the first landing of the stairs, it always gets stuff thrown on it that needs to be carried upstairs). I wanted to throw stuff away and go through my black bill basket thing.

I accomplished it!!!! Look so nice now!

The next spot was my husbands area!!! I had asked him to clean it but if you want something done and done right you just have to do it yourself. His pool table always just gets everything thrown on it. (his work clothes and his work supplies)and it was dirty and covered in spices from his beef jerky making...

And here is the after!!! now he needs to make sure all the balls are there and put the side panel back on!

And last but needed it the most is his bar/beef jerky area!!! It had spices all over the place and needed dusted sooo bad! I scrubbed and scrubbed!!!

Now it looks a ton better!!! I am sooo glad this is done!!!! And I hope he appreciates it!!

I hope this makes you want to get up and clean!!! I know I always get inspired by others projects and clean houses!!!!!

I'm A Blingin Fool!

One of my favorite things to do is make kiddos birthday outfits!!! (you can see other examples in older posts) I usually make them with the number that the child is turning. Well I had a request to make a little girl a rhinestone cowgirl outfit! I had a ton of fun making this one!!! Today I am going to show you the onesie only but will post a picture of the full outfit very soon!!!

Here is the finished onesie with the cowgirl boot and personalized rhinestone J!!!

the pictures just aren't doing this applique justice but I got a good one of the bling upclose!

And one more picture!!!!
I hope you enjoyed this appliqued onesie, I know I had fun making it and think it turned out fabulous!!!

If you have any question please free to comment and I will answer them! Thank you! brooke
