Summer is Here

It is finally starting to feel like Summer here in Alabama! Once we can start going out on the boat and swimming in the pool life is good.

Parker had tons of fun, and loved the bumpy ride.

Before Pictures & A Giveaway

First the GIVEAWAY! Go to my Wight House Gifts Blog and leave me a comment for a chance to win a So Tweet Bird Magnet!
Next.. Here are the before pictures of my vinyl/craft room. As I said it was a total mixture of things I had taken from other rooms in the house just to try and get by. I even borrowed the white table below from my mom! (Thanks Mom :) ) This is the table where I weed and tape my vinyl. A couple weeks ago I had an order for 100 car decals, it was about this time I realized I really needed a larger work surface!

This was my painting/embellishing table. Baby G loves my craft room and as you can see he is in most of the pictures!

And this was my computer desk and book case/sanding area. As you can see I had to basically walk around the room to each station in order to finish one item. NOT fun! :)

I have started working on the new layout and brought some of the new pieces into the room, and I am so pleased with the results so far. I am hoping to be done by the end of next week and I will post pictures of the finished room then!!

So Excited!

I am so excited because I am FINALLY starting to get my vinyl/craft room put together! Up until now it was basically just a room with a bunch of random things thrown together to try and accomplish the necessary tasks..... Now, it is going to be arranged and so it functions :) I have had fun looking for new and fun ideas, and while I am far from having everything I need/want, I at least have a plan. Here is a collage I made of the new layout/items i WANT.... I will take a before picture and update you all on the progress... .as I said before I am so EXCITED!! Ok, the collage will have to come later, blogger isn't cooperating with me.

And finally, I am asking the opinion of the people... yes that would be you! :) I have some off white shelving that I am going to distress and antique to use as the base of my desk and work table... Now I am having a TERRIBLE time trying to decide what color to use for the actual top of the desk and work table. Do I keep it off white, do I do it in a black or brown to add some contrast? As of now the walls are a nice neutral color, and I am wanting to add black or brown accents to frames and such throughout the room. So here is my question to you... Paint the tops off white, paint them brown, or paint them black?!
To be totally honest I just want someone to make the decision for me... I have a hard time deciding what to eat some days. :)

So big

I just wanted to add a few pictures of our ever growing, always changing, baby G. This little boy seems to get a little bigger every day. The first two pictures were taken of him tonight.
Notice those big old cheeks, I am not kidding when I say this little guy eats almost as much as his big brothers! Here he is with what have lovingly named the "dead deer" pacifier.... when it is in upside down it looks like Bambi isn't doing so great.

And I threw this picture in because he looks like such a big boy.... I'm not ready for my baby to be one of the "big boys" yet. Sigh...

Baby G is now crawling FULL SPEED, he can stand, and is enjoying cruising around the furniture. He has also discovered he can crawl ALL THE WAY up the stairs.. YIKES! He has gotten his bottom two teeth, and is now working on a top tooth. And last but certainly not least.... he says MAMA!! All of you moms out there know how a babies first "mama" just melts your heart. :)
