Friday Tunes
I also recommend that you turn your Pandora Station to "Forget You" by Cee Lo Green. My hair stylist had it on the other night and it's perfect.

Quickie Craft, St. Pat's Style
I found these super cute bamboo placemats at Dollar Tree. They would be super cute on a table alone, but I wanted to do something a little different...
So I bought several of them and used the non-crafters key to success: Duct Tape. I taped together four of them to create a table runner. They line up right next to each other making them easy to connect:

Winning, Duh
He cracks me up. I would love to spend a day with him! (Heck- even an hour or a minute would be great!!)

Happy Home-iversary!
Your horrible lack of landscaping... or grass... or even dirt...
Your desperate looking side-yards (Oh, Hey Jack!)
And even worse backyard. (why did you ever think those cement flowerbed borders were a good idea??)
Our sad attempts at planting sod in patches (Who were we kidding? That was a waste of time! Good thing Rory looks so cute to make this picture worth it)
What about when we filled that empty kitchen space with a HUGE fridge that cost more than I should have spent (and yet I don't regret it for a second. LOVE my fridge!)
Oh yes, it's been a long road of updating and decorating and yet we're still not even close to done. Wait until you see what's next...
Our First Christmas...
And our first record-setting snow...
Oh yes, it's been an adventure. I can't wait for the warmer weather when we can get back to business and start a few more projects on my list! You'll love it, house, I promise.
St. Patrick's Day Wreath
This month I obviously wanted to Go Green and make a festive St Patrick's Day wreath. I found everything I needed at the thrift store and the whole project only cost me $5!
I started with a stack of assorted green t-shirts, all priced at 50 cents-$1.99 each.
I also found a couple of wreath forms that were 50% off 99 cents! Score! I bought 2, but only used one for this project. I'll save the other for next month! (Notice the background- yes, I did this project in a laundry basket to minimize the straw that would end up all over the floor!)
I started cutting each t-shirt along the bottom hem and continued to cut it into one long 1 inch strip, all the way up to the sleeves.
Keep cutting until you have a pile of green strips! (this is after two of the four shirts I used)
After I cut up each shirt, I took the strips and cut them into manageable lengths, approximately two arm spans long. I'd say cutting them in to 4 foot strips would be perfect.
I like the way this looks, but I thought it needed a little something else, so I traced out a shamrock on one of the shirt scraps to add some flair.
