12 on the twelfth...

can you believe it's the 12th of November already?

Time for my 12 on the 12th...I know you are dying to see what weird, random things I've been snapping away at today.

hang on tight.



a little bench that D. found on a job (it was trash)...he figured he could make our mosaic coffee table with this frame...we shall see. that boy has some vision, I tell ya. after a good sanding, a nice stain and some cool mosaicy things, it should be a cool conversation piece.

this was cut out from a pizza box...I grabbed this from the K's...at our pizza/celebration last week...in honor of my dashing hubby, who, of course, dressed up as Indiana Jones for our Harvest Party..doesn't this resemble Davey boy?

get off the island, kid.

my new marble Elvis bust...from big bro Tom...thank you, thankyouverymuch. (it kinda looks like Patrick Swayze, doesn't it? "Nobody puts Baby in the corner")

stained glass shade

whoa nelly....our new EUREKA vacuum. We buckled and got a bagless vac...so far so good.




check out the new Pumas...Beck, thanks for showing me how truly stylish these kix can be...brown and pink...delish.

limestone and cedar...glorious...

school stickers...

little boy, hard at work learning his letters and using touch to do so...

nothing beats a spiced cider candle on a dreary fall day...except maybe said candle being sniffed while enjoying a cup of coffee and pumpkin muffin...what bliss is this?

Hope your Wednesday is marvelous...God bless you today!

Monday, Monday...

Proof that I do read...

Melanie's collage
her little mini-me...bedonk-a-donk smattering of beads...another hobby of mine

Let me just start out by saying HELLO to you!! And to those of you that have requested the recipe for the Creamy crockpot delight, I will post that recipe as soon as I get around to it today or tomorrow. It is really quite simple...5 simple ingredients and then your choice of carbo...(eg noodles, white rice, whole grain rice, stuffing etc)...It is a true delight! and fat free on Sat and Sun. I wish.

We are plugging right along this morning, doing our "lists", working out, laundry, bread, but I needed a down moment to blog.

~I am sure you are wondering what today's pics are all about. Lemme explain quickly...David's lovely cousin, Kara, (and of course my cousin too) challenged me to take 12 pix on the 12th of each month, just to be artsy and at the end of the year, make an album (or I guess one could scrap as they go) that depicts the goings-on in your household, life whatever. I am taking that challenge, Kara dear, but forgot to do it on the 12th...so I did it today! got my 14 pix (I'll go back to 12 next month though...afraid I will run out of things to take pix of...as if)...just a bit of those...

~Can I just tell you that Petunia is rolling now? Yeah. she rolled right off of my rather high bed yesterday. I guess E. didn't get the memo that she can do that now...he felt so bad but I assured him that it was ok...but now we know that we can't "leave" her alone on our beds. What was entirely so sad though was that she fell off feet first and ended up on the floor, bent in half so to speak and she was trying in vain, flailing, to get out of that position...poor little thing...just a shrieking...she is a-ok...not even a bump that I can tell. Kids are scary. that brings to mind another blog opportunity...for a later date. Remember Will and Mel in the mud (@ different times), Beck? Up in Kokomo and down here at our house? o man. needless to say, we felt her safety was more important than a photo op. I can be mature when needed.

~ok, well, hope y'all are having a lovely Monday. It's rather gloomy here. kinda tired of gray. I think I have S.A.D. peace out
