Painting

Well it has been months since my last post. I keep finding many ideas that I want to do, but just haven't found the time. I'm on vacation this week and we aren't leaving until Thursday for our trip. So I put Addison in daycare today and tomorrow and we are painting inside our house. I had painted one wall in January, because we got a new entertainment center, and it needed to be painted before it was put in place.

Today Dustin and I painted for 6.5 hours. We got the first coat on the living room, entry way, hall, and one wall in the dining room. 3 cans of paint!! Then we primed the island and the other wall in the dining room and the kitchen. I was able to get one coat of color on the island and the wall below the cabinets.

Tomorrow we are finishing the first coat of the kitchen/dining color, second coat on the rest and a second coat on the kitchen/dining.

I can't wait until it is done! Dustin told me that I better like the color, because he is never painting again. I do have before pictures and will be posting those.

My first Christmas Project.

This was the first Christmas project I have done so far this year. I got my inspiration from all of the other people making the BOO or EEK Halloween picture frames. I tried to find the cute frames that everyone was using, but could not. So I got this one at the $1 store. After working with it, I know why it was $1!! I just added scrapbook paper that I already had and some chipboard sticker letters that I bought. I think it turned out super cute!

Happy Halloween!

Last night was so much fun. We went to a party at a town hall before we went trick or treating. Addison was excited because some of her friends from daycare and her friend Christian was there.

I thought she would be scared trick or treating, but she caught on really fast. She was knocking on the doors and saying bye after people gave her candy.

She only got scared at the last house when the person rolled to the door laying on a chair dressed as a bug. She freaked out!

Here's a picture of her in her care bear costume.

Apple Jelly

I just canned 12 8oz jars of apple jelly. I'm worried that my first batch of 6 isn't going to set up, just by looking at it. I'm hoping tomorrow they look better.

And this was my first time making it and it was so much fun!! I could find myself really getting addicted to this. Last year one of my friends made Pear Raspberry Jelly and it was so good.
