Click here to see! I feel happy, oh so happy....
I feel very blessed. I feel loved immensely. I feel lucky. I feel nothing but love. I love my hubby.
March 25th marked the 15th year of our chance meeting. But then, there are no 'chance' meetings are there. Everything happens for a reason. I was wracking my brain thinking of the perfect gift to get Josh for our special day. We are both huge Beatles lovers. We even played All You Need is Love as we walked out after we said "I Do".
Inspired by Subway art and some lovely Beatles lyrics I stenciled Josh's favorite Beatles song on a piece of word and distressed it...I love it. He was so happy with it :) In case you haven't figured out what song the lyrics are from, it is Across the Universe...
It means so much to me to have such a fantastic hus-friend. He is my bestie. So even though we are only officially married for 21 months....we have truly been 'married' and in love for 15 years...
If you would like any details about how I did this...message me! I would love to share how made this art :) A HUGE shout out to Jenn at Clean and Scentsible for spending the day crafting with me...even if it took 7 hours ;) Lovely day spent with a long time friend.
Much love to you all,

Last June I started to makeover my fireplace and mantle. Remember my Dirty little Secret #1?
Well, let's just say it took a long time to find the perfect mirror to crown the fireplace. Once I saw her on Craigs List, I knew she was fit for the area over the mantle. I finally got rid of that UGLY dirty little secret-the old light fixture! Today Mr. C and I hung her over the mantle and boy, she looks purrty!
First, we capped the wires safely and put this over the spot to close it up, tho not permanently.
Here she is...isn't she lovely?
Now I just need some spring mantle inspiration! Gonna shop my house to try and come up with something pretty! Have you changed out your mantle for spring yet?

This is one excited house! After watching Craigslist for what seemed like forever, we finally scored a 'suite' deal on a dining table and chairs in the style I love. It has the lines I swoon for and yet not a ton of embellishment! Perfect. A HUGE added bonus is that the buffet and hutch were also included in the deal. And by deal I mean steal! To the little ditty of $150.00. So I thought I would show you the CL images as the before sneek peek.
The hutch is obviously not pictured here but it is in mint condition. We plan to paint it white and can't wait for good weather to start. I will recover the chair seats and will likely choose a natural color linen like fabric. My question to you dear friends is as follows: What is your favorite white paint?
Have a swell day!
I am finally on the mend! What a whopper of a bug! As I was vacuuming today, I opened up the front door to vacuum the vestibule/mudroom and look what I found!
Pretty white Gerberas! Lovely don't you think? White and turquoise...bliss...
My profession has brought many thoughtful people into my life...thanks to my sweet friend :)
Love,
For about a week now I have been feeling under the weather. This evolving flu-cold (Man-cold as my Dad would say) really packs a mean punch. I took 2 hours out of one of my 6 days off work (I get 5 days off usually as I work 12 hour days) and it nearly killed me. I was so exhausted. Anyhow, I also went to my Mom's for a family lun-ner on Oscar Night. My little medicines were there...in the form of a 4, 6, 10 and 18 year old. LOVE THEM. One of them made me and Mr C a sweet Valentines card. I had to share it with you....it is so adorable. 
I cannot wait for us to have our own kids...such a sweet gift of love. Little Sadie is quite the artist (so is her sister!!!) Their Dad has a very very artistic bone. He is a very talented artist himself. My sis is good at drawing as well so they lucked out there! They make me feel a little better just being around them :)
Happy Day to you all,
