Before I get on with InstaFriday I'm just gonna take a little moment to whine.
I don't feel good. Seriously. I go to bed every night and wake up every morning feeling like I was ran over. My head is still tingling from what I still think is the shingles/phn stuff. The medicine the dr.gives me makes me so drowsy that when I take it my poor kids are usually late for school because I just can't pull myself out of bed. My fingers hurt in a weird way so that if I try to use my iPhone I can not even grip the phone. THANK GOD I have not had chest pains in some time. I'm just frustrated because I've felt good for a really long time and now I'm starting to feel yucky again. And there's too much to do to feel icky!!!
On a happier note today is the first official day of my very favorite season! Can I get a 'Yay Fall!!!'?? I'm having a 31 party tonight. I wanted to go all out and decorate for fall but I don't feel like pulling stuff out of the attic nor do I have extra money to get anything new. Having to replace the hot water heater about killed us :(
Oh! I also forgot to Thankful Thursday yesterday. Thanks to other blogs. No,really I was looking at all the AWESOME homes over at Life Made Lovely's weekly feature of
Home Made Lovely. I was in love with all of the cute little vignettes in every ones home and realized I hadn't done that in a while. So I thought what can I do? I'm feeling creative. Then I remembered the little shelf up in the attic that was shaped like a little canoe.
So I'm gonna say #1I'm Thankful for Heather and
Life Made Lovely because it's a great blog and inspired me yesterday!! Here's what I did:
 |
Used to hold Boyds Bears |
 |
spray primer is my friend |
 |
Robins Egg Blue (Thank you Glidden giveaway!) |
 |
Drying on the front porch (thanks to the rain!) |
There is actually a bracket on the back to hang it up. Once it dried (and I just could not wait!!!) I took it up to my very boring,very much needs painted second floor landing/hall. I hung it up next to the bathroom.
I think I want to put something on the back like a pretty paper to make it pop!
 |
Top shelf is holding 2 vintage kids books and a nifty looking old alarm clock | |
|
 |
middle shelf has artwork made for my by my cousin JoeyAnn |
|
 |
bottom shelf are the BFF (Blessed Friends Forever) goodies from Josie *not us in the photo ;) |
|
So for #2 I'm thankful to those ladies for remembering my birthday!
And just for kicks #3 is the rarely cleaned bathroom
 |
As you can see it's a tight space......imagine having to get down there and clean up little boy pee. Not fun :( |
