2nd Blog-A-Palloosa Giveaway

Okay, here is the second day of Blog-A-Palloosa another great giveaway from Rhapsody of Cacophony. How sweet would your little chef look in this~

Pink Lemonade Apron and Chef Hat 

with matching Recipe Cards

 A 4T (ish - it could probably fit 3T-5T quite easily since it's adjustable), easy on/off (yeah velcro!) chef hat and apron set, hand made by me. The pink fabric has little tiny polka dots on it that don't show up on camera, so I think it's even sweeter in person.

Oh and of course I had to include some matching recipe cards, because every new chef has to start her recipe collection at a very young age!

To enter, hop over to my blog Rhapsody of Cacophony. Good luck!
Remember to come by here everyday to see what other awesomeness you might win! Thank You & Many Blessings~

CRASH & ATIR'S ART

I am so sad, today after I cleaned our master bedroom I closed the door and heard a loud crash, I thought it was the metal cross candle holder I had hanging near the door I knew it would not be harmed in any way so I just left to pick up my angels from school.  WELL...when we cam back home and after I fixed the angels a snack I went into the bedroom to get some towels and I noticed this~

Boo Hoo, I am so sad this is actually my favorite piece of art, I bought it years ago at yep, you guessed it Hobby Lobby, I only paid $9.00 for it. This piece was originally the color of concrete and I painted it gold, and added some gold leaf in a few places then got some shoe polish to give it that not so shiny look.  Just recently I painted the lattice part silver it was all painted the same color but I thought it would look cool 2 toned.  I was right, right?  I was and probably will still use this as my blog logo, I just think it is so pretty and I am gonna try to fix it.

A close up of the sadness~

Here she is in all her beautiful glory~

If I can't fix it I may just have to cut all those little curly-ques off, come back to see what I ended up doing.

                                            ATIR'S ART

When my beautiful mommy was still alive she loved to paint or draw to relax, she was quite good for never taking a class. I have these two paintings hanging in our kitchen along with some other pieces of special art.

I have other pieces that she drew or painted, but I need to get them framed.  I will need to get that done soon.  I miss my beautiful mommy so much but when I see these pieces they make me happy and I feel close to her, it is as if i can almost see her painting them.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these very special pieces & I pray they make you happy too~

Thank You & Many Blessings

I am so happy & proud that I am participating in Blogapaloosa with Randee's Organized Chaos!

Door Lock & Lamp Makeover~

I still had my little one home with me today, not sure if he will be up to school tomorrow.

With little time on my hands and while he was sleeping I looked for something to do that would not take a lot of time or was noisy.  I took a look at our front door lock and handle "that's it", so I got my trusty sanding paper out and sanded till I could no longer see any of this shiny brass, I then cleaned them off with some TSP, taped up the areas I did not want painted and went to town with Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint.

Here is the shiny brass before~ 

After~

Yuck, I did not realize how bad this area of my door looks, it is in need of an oil rub or wax. 

LAMP~

I have had this lamp for sometime now, years ago I removed the electronic components and just had the base.  I was not sure what I wanted to do with it, a friend of mine does amazing flower arrangements and I asked her to make one for me for our kitchen  I remembered having this lamp base in my goody closet and  thought she could use it. Great job right? so beautiful!  I LOVE it so much.  I even like the fact that you can see the holes left behind on the base so that I can tell all my friends it was once a lamp!                               It came apart when I moved it to take this picture~

The Holes~

Here she is~ B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

I need to set the table so it does not look so bare!

Thank You & Many Blessings~
