Where there's a Will...

It's no secret - I love my Wills.  It all started with the Big Will, aka Hub Dub.  Then, we added the Little Will, aka Willie.

When I was preggers, and having that dreaded timed glucose test, I had a rough time (Did anyone actually have a good time?!)- "hiding veins," bad pokers, etc.  By the time we were done, and having not completed all blood draws, Hub Dub treated me to a special lunch...."anywhere I wanted."  Well, I wanted whatever was closest after fasting, so we ended up at the Chinese restaurant next door to the lab. {That sounds questionable now.}

I got this fortune cookie, and I keep it with me always...

It's also a saying my Grandma quotes often - followed by a giggle, just for me.

So, in beginning my bedroom transformation to a grey/white/yellow/black theme, I decided I needed a sign to go along with my photo grouping. 

I jacked was given an old country bumpkin wooden sign my mom's decor had outgrown.  I painted, cut out some letters on my cricut, added spray adhesive, lined up my letters, and glazed over.

Here it is, under the picture the Wills gave me for Mother's Day last year.

I LOVE it!

Vay-Cay

I have many half-finished projects to tell you all about...but I am going to take a little vay-cay.  {"She could post LESS often?!?!?!"}

My sis, mamaTAVE is coming for a visit, with our mom, and Princess A.  We have a thrifting trip planned while she is here, and I am hoping to have many makeover posts coming up!

Time for a Picnik!

...No, I didn't spell that incorrectly.  I have recently discovered Picnik for FREE, fun photo-editing!  Go play around.  I did, and came up with these fun versions of some old school photos of myself, and the Hub Dub.

So much fun! 

If you try out anything fun, post a comment so I can see!

 I couldn't decide if he looked more like Elliot from ET, or the kid from Flight of the Navigator!  Either way, he's a cutie!
