Anything Goes #38, Highlights from #37

Okay, so my new plan is to do my Highlights and Party together.  Seems simple enough.  I guess we'll just see how it goes.   

All righty then, Highlights first, then the party...

Meet A Fabuless Home, Week 24

I’m so excited to be here! Tammy has such an amazing blog and fun personality. I never stop by that I don’t laugh or get inspired or learn something new.

My husband and I recently bought a new-to-us home. The decor was stuck in the 1980s and we’re going room by room and giving it a major facelift. So far we’ve tackled the Family Room, Kitchen, Mudroom, and Powder Room (check out MY HOME TOUR for all the before and afters!). Now we’ve taken on the Dining Room and it’s just in time for a surprise birthday party that I threw for my best friend this past weekend.

Note: I do not recommend attempting a complete room overhaul with just two weeks before a party for 60 people! STRESS!

Here’s the before of the dining room:

Highlights from Party # 36

Well I'm finally caught up.  Mostly.  Okay, not so sure how caught up I am, but I bought batteries for the camera and the house is SPOTLESS!  It only took 5 days.  There's probably more that could be done, but then I would never get any projects or posts done, and now the priority is Highlights!!

I just love my party, and picking Highlights is really HARD, I want to highlight each and every link!  You guys are the best, but I've told you that before.  Tired of hearing it yet?

If I highlight you and you would like a button, they are on my button page. 

Too Much Time on My Hands

Where is my Head?

I swear it's attached, which is a good thing, or it would be missing.  I have to thank a fellow blogger, and I've totally forgot, and that stinks!  Shame on me.

I want to thank one of my best bloggy buddies, Chandeen at Designed by Chance, she hosted a My Memories Give Away recently.  Yours truly won!  I can't wait to get started creating with it, but I can't promise when that will happen.  Hoping my crazy life slows down just a tad so I can do some creating.



Here's a sample of what you can do with their stuff, pretty cool!

Thanks again Girl for hosting the give away!!  I can't wait to show you what I make, and thanks for putting up with me!  xx

Anything Goes #37, Highlights from #35

I owe you guys some highlights from party #35, not sure what happened to me last week.

Stanley has me all messed up.  All I can do is think about the puppy, and miss him.  lol  That and this week I may be just as off as last week.  I just started cleaning the house like a crazy version of my regular crazy self.  Crazy?  I know.  It needs it and lets be honest I get the best feeling when I'm cleaning and organizing.  I promise to show off my handy work soon.  I was so giddy today, I bought bins!  lol  Really, it's an illness.

On to the highlights!

Meet Tres Chere, Week #23

Hello Type A readers! We are Angela & Debbie from Tres Chere.

We were thrilled when Tammy asked us to guest post! We have followed her blog since we started back in July. She has been one of our biggest supporters and we just love the sense of community she portrays.

When you visit our blog you will notice that we like to always infuse a little sense of humor in our posts and you will see many projects that have been transformed from items we have found at the curb. Many of our makeovers from chairs, benches, art, coffee tables to dressers cost less than $20.00. We are always looking for ways to make our home more beautiful on the cheap and using what we already have on hand.
The project we are sharing with you today couldn't have timed out any better. We are very behind on our fall decorating so having a deadline actually helped us make it happen!

The Only Project I've Completed in Weeks......

This so counts as a project too, even if paint wasn't involved.  It still took me 6 hours to complete, and in my book this makes it a project.   Really, I could have painted two pieces of furniture in this time frame, so you could consider it two projects.

It was a project of LOVE for sure.  My boy, not pictured, got a gigantic lego set from his birthday.  His crazy mother bought it for him, it was number one on his list.  I should add, I HATE all things Lego.   Love my model?  lol  I took this as I was sorting all the pieces by color, notice half the bags haven't been opened.
