Home Projects

Well these past few weeks I have been working on some home projects. I get so much satisfaction in beautifying things. A week and a half ago my mother-in-law and I put up my Christmas tree. I will be in AZ for Christmas so I wanted to have my tree up for a while before I leave. I think I get more excited now to put up my tree than actually opening presents on Christmas. This year Jill and I found some cute candy decorations at Hobby Lobby. I also found my stockings there as well. Gotta love Hobby Lobby! I can't wait to go to the Orange Patch boutique when I am out in AZ. I got a lot of my decorations there a few years ago.

Jill found these present boxes at Sam's Club this year. They match perfect with our trees.

I recently recovered this bench I bought at Ross(another one of my favorite stores). Originally the bench had a cheetah print on it. We took left over fabric from my drapes in Gilbert and recovered the bench. I love how it turned out.

About a month ago I bought these three large candlesticks for $8 at a garage sale. They were originally a silver gold color. I spray painted them oil rubbed bronze and bought red candles for them. I love taking something old and making it new. I am amazed at how many great things I have found at garage sales. I love a good bargain.

While I am working on house projects Brayden will entertain himself by riding around the house in his coupe car. Never call his coupe a car because he will reply by saying " No, MY TRUCK, MY TRUCK, MY TRUCK!" Brayden loves trucks. Anytime he sees a truck on the road he has to tell us it is a truck and you have to immediately respond by saying "Yes Brayden that is a truck."

To run errands with me he always makes it very clear he wants to go in the truck rather than the chevy malibu. This little boy is obsessed with trucks, but who can blame him. He is definitely our little boy. I love these pictures of Brayden in his "TRUCK."

Hmmm. What should I order?
