Bedroom Project

This summer I decided I wanted to bring some

color into my room.  My old bedroom colors

were black, white and red.  

I got this new quilt with lots of color, but

then decided to bring some color into the decor.

Lexie got a new bed too

I got a bunch of wood frames from Goodwill

Then used spray paint in several colors

I also got this vase and spray painted it too

I arranged the frames on the wall and 

I added some colored things here and there

I think it turned out pretty cute

I also found this pig at Goodwill and spray painted it too

Zucchini Chips

I saw this great recipe for zucchini chips on Pinterest

It looked really easy to make, so I went and bought a 

mandolin and some zucchini and went for it.

Slicing them thin

Soaking up some of the moisture

Baked them...but they didn't look anything like the

picture on Pinterest

I tried several different times playing around with the

thickness & cook times and still no success

They were either too mushy or too burnt

Definitely not crunchy like a chip

So I tried some apple chips with a little cinnamon and sugar

They turned out much better, at least they were eatable

DISNEYLAND 2013

In November Cali and I went to Disneyland

I hadn't been there in 25 years

It was just as amazing and magical as I had

remembered.

We had a blast!!!

Both Disneyland and California Adventure

were totally decorated in Christmas and

it was beautiful.  

It was great to let lose and act like a kid again

I took a million pictures but here are just a few

of the good ones.

Random Pics

I got a new phone and these are a 

few of my favorite pics from my

old phone...of course they're of my DOGS

But aren't they so cute

My Second 5K

Back in May Katy and I did our 2nd 5k together

I had worked really hard before hand to be

able to beat our time from our 1st 5k

And despite the freezing cold, rain and wind

I'm proud to say we beat our time

by FIVE minutes

It was miserable weather but it ended up being

a great race.

I've never been so glad to take a hot shower- haha

Favorite painting

For my birthday this year my friend Stacy treated 

me to a painting class.

We had a great time, this is my favorite picture 

that I've done so far.

Mine is the red one and Stacy's is the blue one.

I hung mine up in my room, I liked it so much 

(the other two I've done are in the closet)

Thanks for a fun night Stacy

Sewing

I had these old mens swim shorts that I've

had for at least 5 or 6 years and were way too

big and turned them into a skirt!

Not too shabby huh?

I'm pretty proud cause I'm not good at sewing at all
