The biggest and best news is that I'm finally going to be a grandma. Yay!! We've been -planning the room and now the showers have started. Our really good friends Rhonda and Lindsay planned the sweetest little shower. All of our vintage loves and colors were incorporated.<br />

I called the talented Bernadette from Cookiedoodle to make her wonderful sugar cookies. She did an amazing job. The theme of the shower was a shabby paperdoll theme so Bernadette worked her magic making little purses with Darcie's monogram on them.<br />

Lots and lots of little dresses and shoes in all different colors. So sweet and cute and I love the vintage cake plate that it is displayed. Rhonda borrowed my huge glass server too. I love that thing and use it for a lot of different events. The best thing about it is I only paid 5 dollars for it at Goodwill years ago. <br />

Another sweet ornament lots of vintage tinsel and military flowers. I bought a lot of old tinsel this summer at a garage sale from a little old lady. She asked me if 50cents was too much for four rolls of it. So of course I gave her a little more and a hug. Love days like that.</div>

My sister Sandy sent me this photo of a wall hanging she made out of a piece of old wood from our grannies chicken coop and old door locks and hinges she found at mom and dads farm. I love the look!!! I think you could hang it by the back door and hang keys and dog leaches on it!! So sweet and defiantly says vintage.<br />

Some ups and some downs but isn't that the way life is suppose to be. To boot I'm so behind on blogging, making things for the shop and getting things done around here. Well I woke up this morning and decided that the only way I can get things done is to get busy. So I've got the house almost clean today thinking about what project I need to get started better late than never blogging is an easy chore to do. I took some of these photos around fall time hence the little pumpkin in the shots.. but I thought you might looking at some of the goodies I completed around that time.<br />

Usually every year I have my house decorated for Christmas by Thanksgiving but this year is a different story. I have been so busy that everything has suffered. (Hence the lack of blogging) I got in gear this past weekend and have almost everything done. Thought I would show you my mantel today since that's the thing to look at all over blog land this week!!<br />
<br />
In the past I have done traditional trees gold, green and red. I wanted to go with a lighter look plus I bought some really cute woodsy ornaments at a craft show recently.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhChiHu79KLBlbeF6Lbvqy-Op3bb4BMnJrGbEfxMJZmpB0SYhOfi2vU1rOk61jEgYzglx-UYkcC2ut6vyV5lA_3CT8qylbNRpT1UnJ3Rlfl-auTSshMtGvyvwL3xmzPMArV1h9dSRlhS6Y/s1600/DSCN2911.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" mda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhChiHu79KLBlbeF6Lbvqy-Op3bb4BMnJrGbEfxMJZmpB0SYhOfi2vU1rOk61jEgYzglx-UYkcC2ut6vyV5lA_3CT8qylbNRpT1UnJ3Rlfl-auTSshMtGvyvwL3xmzPMArV1h9dSRlhS6Y/s640/DSCN2911.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Even though I wanted to change my look up this year I had to do it on a budget. I had tons of burlap ribbon left over from a party I had so I knew I wanted to go with a light earthy feel. As you can see I re purposed my silver candlesticks, champagne bucket that I used in my fall mantel. I had all of the ornaments threw some sticks, greenery , white roses, and some reindeer and I think it's my perfect woodsy mantel.<br />

Love Love them!!<br />

I bought him a couple of years ago from Cracker Barrel, who would have thought. I've bought several cute things from there in the past they always have there stuff marked half off a week or so before Christmas and I go in there and scoop up so really cute things.<br />

They add a whimsical look. The large one I added in the center with burlap streamers. I think it kinda looks like Patrick off Sponge Bob though. lol I normally add bows but don't know if I am this year I kinda like the cleaner look of it....well for me that is. I also want to make some stockings to hang but if that happens I better get on it!! <br />

"Sure I said, I love making treats and party is my middle name." Since I didn't have tons of time I needed to go with tasty but easy. Almond bark was my answer.. I've made this several times so I knew it would be a hit.<br />

All you need is around 14 Oreos, one cup of Carmel <br />
Corn, one cup of peanuts, one cup of pretzels, one lb of almond bark or chips ( I prefer the chips) and Halloween sprinkles.<br />
Then take a cookie sheet slap some wax paper on top of it. Next break your cookies be careful and don't crush them it will make your bark not as pretty. On top of your wax paper goes your cookies, nuts, pretzels, and 3/4 of your Carmel Corn. Melt your almond bark spread on top and mix it in until it is all covered. Take the remaining Carmel Corn and push down on top then sprinkle with Halloween sprinkles. Let it cool down and break into pieces. Seee Easy Peasy!!!<br />

I went home to help my mom paint my grandmother's house. My granny passed away last year and her house has been closed up. Recently my sister had to make some life changes which has led her back home. Since Granny's house was empty and needed someone to love and care for it this was the perfect solution. Hence all the painting... it's a cute little farm home but needs to be updated really bad. We have started with the kitchen I'll try to show you the little changes that we'll be making I forgot my camera so no pics yet. <br />
When I got home Saturday evening i decided to go to my favorite store TJMaxx and find a wreath for my front door. I love the basket that I had last year. But needed something not quite so big. I'll show you tomorrow what I found.<br />

Although I went there for fall decor. I was in a wonderland with all the cute Christmas decor that they have started putting out. I'm in love .... I love the nostalgic Christmas decorations it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. They had so many cute houses that light up, lots of Santas and mercury glass ornaments. I wanted one of everything. <br />

All of the kids were home so there was alot of eating, laughing and enjoying each other. Saturday night we went to the Sate Fair. We aren't hugh fair people but it is a tradition that we go as a family. We do the same things every year go to the petting zoo, look at the exhibits, look at the butter sculpture (yes I said butter we are from the south ya know). My favorite thing to do is go to the Sugar and Art Show. It's known nationally and has been shown on the Food Network. Artist from all over the country come and compete. I took some photos to give ya'll a look. (Sorry for the quality I had to use my IPhone)<br />

I took a two week summer vacation, been working like a dog sewing and painting for our booth, making tons of trips to Goodwill because I'm determined to get this house in shape. I've got tons to share with you so I promise I'll be a better blogger. (fingers crossed)<br />
<br />
As I said before I've been super busy but I have managed to do some fall decor. I think fall is one of my favorite seasons. All of the muted colors the cool crisp air and all the yummy smells like carmel and cinnamon love love... with all that said I thought I would share my mantle decor. This year I went with a Sleepy Hollow theme.<br />

Naw you know me I've just been super busy. Buzzing around here doing home things, party things and ya wedding things.. Summer is always a busy time for me. Recently one of my really good friends called me and asked me to help with her daughters wedding, "Heck ya I said". Then she let me know that it was on July 23rd and outside WOW can you say hot tamale? Well with that said you all of you know how I love weddings and we've known the bride since her and Emily were in second grade. She is one of Emilys best friends and we consider her family. It will be a simple Vintage Chic wedding and you know how I love vintage weddings. <br />
Emily is the Matron Of Honor and we are in the middle of planning the shower. We want it to be a little vintage and a little funky. We don't know if we want to do cupcakes or a cake. I have found several cakes online that I love and think I can make. Ya I could buy it but I love the way these look simple and different. <br />
<br />

Is anything ever perfect? Nope and really it looks better if it's not.<br />
Well I'm off to to some planning, yard work and cleaning on the house I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow plus having family over for the fourth so there is tons to do since I will be in bed for a couple of days.

We told our kiddos that we didn't want a party we didn't want them to go thru all the trouble. Then about a week or so ago I received an invitation in the mail to our party. Emily and her brothers planned a little get together at the historical landmark of Will Rogers Birthplace. I didn't even know they rented this venue out and my mini me party planner had one up on me. It is a gorgeous place that overlooks the lake with a cute little barn, a perfect place for a vintage event. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>With the help of my mom and sisters they made it perfect with all the vintage touches that I love. Old photos, lace and burlap,candles, flowers and silver accents that just made it truly perfect.<br />

Well it's been a great Mom's day around here starting out with church then lunch and then a movie. I also snuck in a quick nappy poo too! What can get better? I love being a mom nothing is better! Heck my best creation is my kiddos!!! Each one completely different but yet they all have the same high morals and work ethic that the hubs and I have instilled in them. <br />
Well off to finish my day think maybe I'll go trim my rose bush then watch the final Amazing Race. I hope all of you all have had just as an amazing Mom's Day as me.Okie Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02616860870097238316noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639010542227556240.post-12072293704508733422011-05-05T18:35:00.000-07:002011-05-05T18:35:22.276-07:00My Sweet Belle!!Lucy is having a party from <a href="http://debbie-debbiedoos.blogspot.com/2011/05/lucy-its-time-to-get-up.html">Debbie Doos Blogspot</a> and we all around here love parties. This party is for us to share our most beloved family member, our pets.<br />
<br />
Our family pet happens to be an English Bulldog named Belle. We have had her for four years now and I can't imagine my day without her in it. We originally bought her for my youngest son for a Christmas present. But you know how that goes mom usually gets to take care of the new puppies. We quickly bonded and I soon claimed her as mine. Her favorite things to do are sleeping, eating and sleeping and eating. Bulldogs are a very lazy breed of dog. They spend about six hours of the day sleeping which makes her the perfect dog for our family.<br />

Do you ever do that? I think I have ADHD, sometimes I have a problem staying on task. I do have the man cave painted, the crown molding hung and the carpet guy has measured and ordered the carpet can't wait until the fun part decorating it. Since I'm waiting on carpet I decided to tear my closet apart and organize it. Ewww it's like trying to fit a hundred clowns in a VW!! I have so many clothes and no room.... I need to purge. I always think I'm going to lose weight and will be able to wear some of them but I now realize that if I do lose weight I will probably want new stuff.<br />
<br />
I also found some time this weekend and made pillows for the shop. I added a couple of new designs thought I would share.<br />

I tried to sew some pillows that remind me of sunny days. It was raining around here this weekend when I was sewing and I needed sunshine!!!Okie Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02616860870097238316noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639010542227556240.post-75199768845697313482011-04-26T16:42:00.000-07:002011-04-26T16:46:48.555-07:00Update The Man CaveWell the hubs went out of town last week for a conference sooo what does that mean?? Oh ya time to do some work on his man cave. It has needed a redo for a long time. How do I explain how ugly it is? It is dark, dreary and full of leather furniture and it also has a new leather theater chair (which I hate). I have always had problems with this room. The hubs loves this room and hates change. I have tried to make it cozy but I always get grief from him and the boys. They use it for football games, playing video games and just hangin out. The last redo I painted it red thinking it would go with all our Oklahoma Sooner stuff but in the end I didn't really like it. I have been wanting a change in this room for a while so now is the perfect time. <br />

This is the only before picture I have I was in a hurry to get started so forgot to take photos of the whole room. Oh ya it's red and don't you just love that green berber carpet?... NOT I need to order a new couch but the hubs says it feels like love of a good woman just wraps around him....He's crazy!!! Maybe I can find a really good leather treatment for it. <br />

</div><div align="left">Here is a sneak peak of the new wall color I forgot the name it's Sherwin Williams something I'll look it up and let ya'll know. It already looks great it really changed the feel of the whole room. I also added some crown molding to the top, it has a really weird ceiling line and need something to make it look a more put together. I have yet to figure it all out but I'm working on it. I also ordered new carpet and hopefully it will be in and laid in a couple of weeks. So be on the look out I hope to have it finished soon.</div>Okie Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02616860870097238316noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639010542227556240.post-55923214239347950202011-04-24T19:48:00.000-07:002011-04-24T19:48:01.836-07:00He Arose!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyGXUEKEkTHPUoxu7SVVKd3DS83FYRDhierN76c5JeEkNyH1Hd-_SZLvjQqMKsCpQQ96popB8m3c4BHJqZRfAko4uUJBXAmuN1dA1XJaiqMQU1vTLoo8WSazDA7XyeiJ7ycbAaE-75Q9g/s1600/thumbnail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyGXUEKEkTHPUoxu7SVVKd3DS83FYRDhierN76c5JeEkNyH1Hd-_SZLvjQqMKsCpQQ96popB8m3c4BHJqZRfAko4uUJBXAmuN1dA1XJaiqMQU1vTLoo8WSazDA7XyeiJ7ycbAaE-75Q9g/s400/thumbnail.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="left">Hallelujah Christ Arose!! Today was a great day!! Even though it was a rainy day it was a glorious one. Church was wonderful!! We go to a fairly large church and it was overflowing today. Our church home is Church On The Move and our pastor is Willie George. It is an awesome church with a wonderful praise and worship service as well as preaching. Last Easter they Baptised over 600 new Christians and this year it may be more. God is Great!!</div><div align="left">After church it was on to dinner with the family. We always have a hugh potluck dinner with lots of great southern food. Usually we have a big Easter egg hunt for the kiddos but with the rain we had to have it inside a little different but the kids didn't seem to mind as long as they had candy in the end they were fine.</div><div align="left">Now I'm home with lots of dishes to wash and do a little laundry. Hope everyone's Easter was as blessed as mine.</div>Okie Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02616860870097238316noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639010542227556240.post-92213199211926121902011-04-17T12:42:00.000-07:002011-04-17T12:42:54.584-07:00What A Fun Week!Swamped around here lately getting ready for parties, making crafts to sell, painting my den. I've got lots to do this week but it's all worth it. I'm trying to get organized today but there are paint tarps and junk everywhere. How come when you try to get a project done the rest of your house suffers? Ugh oh well ... with that said thought I would show you some of my little Easter things I put out.<br />

I picked up these little ceramic bunnies came from the dollar store aren't they cute and they don't look cheap which is a bonus.Okie Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02616860870097238316noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639010542227556240.post-89120419482472965342011-04-08T10:00:00.000-07:002011-04-08T11:08:31.155-07:00Easter TimeEaster is one of my favorite holidays for so many reasons the most important one is my Savior was Risen from the grave!!! It also reminds me of having get togethers with my family eating all day and having huge Easter egg hunts with the kiddos ...which we still do today!! I also love the candy even though I'm trying to stay away from it this year. The past couple of days I've been digging out my Easter decor and trying to get it out before the holiday comes and goes.<br />

I went a little green with my mantle decor. I made the Spring letters with wooden cutouts from Hobby Lobby and added reindeer moss to them. I used white urns from GW and made topiaries with bunny rabbits from Pier One. I also used my GW champagne bucket filled with sticks and made eggs to look like the Pottery Barn ones.<br />
