Two canvases for my living room

We just finished painting our living room.  We chose a pale blue for the walls with an off-white trim.

I attended a Quick Quotes class a couple months ago.  We created a canvas in the class.  I also bought the companion canvas.  I finally finished both canvases for my living room.  I chose to make the flowers a pale blue to go with my walls.  

Here it is on my shelf in the living room.  I'm so excited about these!  

Happy Halloween!

My husband and I went out as Peg & Al Bundy this year!  Just thought I'd share a couple photos.

I made my husband a "Polk High" #33 shirt.

Happy Halloween!

Christmas in July - Pollyanna Layout

Every year, my girlfriends and I do a "Chinese" pollyanna.  We each bring a wrapped gift.  We draw numbers from a hat.  The first person unwraps a gift.  The second person unwraps a new gift or steals the first person's gift.  (If someone's gift is stolen, they can either pick a new gift or steal someone elses).  And so on.  The game ends when the last gift is unwrapped.

Thanksgiving & Thanksgiving Eve Layouts

In 2013, we had moved into my grandparents house and were waiting for our house to sell.  We had to leave our house "staged" so that potential buyers could come to see it.  Since we didn't have out dining room set up at the new house, we were unable to host Thanksgiving, and we went to my father in law's house.

It was the first time we were able to go out for Thanksgiving Eve, which is the biggest drinking night of the year!  We went to our local bar and had a great time with friends.
