Lamp Shade Up-cycle

Loved the red but it had to go, it just didn't match or go with the yellow.

I saw this on another blog, but I can't remeber which on, or I'd put a link because the girl always has great ideas but it was pretty simple. I just sewed some ruffles out of white fabric, strips of 2 inches x three times the width of your lamp shade. Then I pined the ruffle on and hot glued, make sure to hot glue where sticthing is so you don't see the glue. I totally love the way it turned out, I want to do this to every single lamp shade in my house!

Total cost .99 cents!

A little behind on the posts but better late the never (Right?) Valentine's Day is not my favorite holiday but I still like to make it special for the girly's. Lynlee's party at school, they played BINGO and decorated cupcakes.

There finished edible masterpieces. Regan decorated hers with goldfish and then ATE IT!! YUCK!

SWEETHEARTS-AWWWWW

Snowed In

Last Thursday it was COLD and they were predicting snow, so the schools actually called a snow day for Friday. The girls were so excited to play in the snow and build a snowman. We woke up Friday morning to just more cold weather and absolutely not one drop of snow. Houston did get a really bad ice storm and it was really cold so we stayed in all day, and we needed a project. We worked on the girls Valentine's boxes for their parties this week. Turned out cute and entertained them for about 15 minutes, they were crazy the rest of the day.


I saw this idea for Valentine's Day cards on some other blog and thought they were adorable. I just took a picture of the girls and had them developed at Walgreen's, it only cost me about $3.00. Bought some suckers at Target and Wah-la, so cute.

Bedtime is just not my finest hour as a mom, I'm exhausted and the kids seem to never run out of energy. I found this quote this morning and realized how true it is, and how I need to take a deep breath and just snuggle with my babies while I can.
