a post with a ton of pictures....

... because I'm too tired from doing all this stuff to actually write about it!

the living room re-do is almost done!

I love my new blue walls... and the way they flow right into the yellow kitchen. During all of the spackling/sanding/prep for painting, Joe said that he actually would like the photo collage in the hallway to come down. So it did-but now that wall looks so empty and lonely and boring!

Any ideas? What's on the walls in YOUR hallway?


I also started collecting/planning Christmas gifts this week. A local boutique nearby was going out of buisness so I snagged a ton of Vera Bradley purses and cosmetic bags at 50% off! I also decided that for this year's Christmas present I'd really like to give something awesome to my grandmama- so I stopped by the yarn shop for some nice lace yarn and started on this amazing Ribbon Lace scarf for her (the pattern is free on Ravelry!). So far I've only gotten the first repeat done, but I think it's going GREAT for my first lace project ever!

Well, what have YOU been up to?
