For the Love of Scrapbook Paper

My friend Robin sold me this buffet. That is her in the middle. Her husband Terry built it, and it is HEAVY. Solid wood need I say more.... Les and I almost did not get it in the house. ;)

This is the before.

I hate to admit this but I have had it almost a year. It was against a wall in the living room behind a couch. I decided to moved it to the entry way. Thank goodness it fit perfectly.

I started last week putting all the paper on.

Decoupaged some scrapbook paper to the top.   Pretty good evenness for eyeballing it. I probably should have measured. Oh well. I think it turned out good.

I added more scrapbook paper to the front doors and drawers. This week I saw in the Hobby Lobby  sale paper that drawer pulls where 1/2 off. I love Hobby Lobby. Something you need just wait it will be on sale soon.

Finished project. I think it looks better.  It will look even better with all my fall decorations that I will be adding this weekend. My personal tradition every Labor Day is to decorate for fall. So up in the attic we go.

Tomorrow is hump day, and the week is alomost over. Then a long weekend. Thank goodness.

Obsession

This mixer is my new obsession!!!

< The Pioneer Woman Edition KitchenAid Mixer>

I saw it last night on the Pioneer Woman blog. I instantly fell in love. She was giving away two of them and of course I entered to win it. Along with 50,000 other people I waited until this morning to see if I won it. As you can tell I did not.

I spent part of my day today looking on line to see if I could find a website that sold it. I even tried to e-mail the Pioneer Woman but could not get the e-mail to go through for some reason. Then I had a light bulb moment....Lets just say bells went off.

I looked on The Food Network website. If you dont know yet... Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) has a new show on Food Network. I pulled up her show and looked at some pictures of the ranch house. I saw a bit of the mixer on her counter top. So I e-mailed Food Network and am waiting their response.

Patiently Waiting Their Response!!!

Isn't it pretty. It would look soooo good in my kitchen.

P.S. If anyone out there know where I can get one of these, please share the info. I would greatly appreciate it.

Love,

Pam

Little Cowboy

I know it has been awhile, really a long time, since I have posted on the blog. I am really behind so so sorry.

I promise I will try and do better.

I just had to share my Little Cowboy with everyone.

July 4th we went to my parents home in Oklahoma. The town that my parents live in have their homecoming every year durnning the 4th. We entered Carter Joe in the homecoming parade.

This is our outfit for the parade. Can you say, " too stinkin' cute."
Boys waiting to leave for the parade.

Poppa and Carter Joe riding to Big Dad and Granny's house.

I was so proud but a ball of nerves in one big bundle. Knots in my stomach and all.

Heading down to get ready for the parade.

Such a big boy. Riding in the parade on his own horse.

Waving to the crowd.

After the parade was over we where a little hot, to say the least.

We guzzled and guzzled the water. Bless his heart. He said that he looked like Woody. Later that night after putting on his PJs he said that he was not Woody anymore.

Needless to say we all had a great 4th of July. So proud and of men and women who have fought for our freedom. Also proud of my little man. Also he won Best Dressed Jr. Cowboy and won a belt buckle.
