School starts in a week. It will be a time of a lot of change for our family. This year we will have a 7th grader (sheesh), a 5th grader, and a Kindergartener... and a scrapper still at home.
I took the kiddos out in some of their new school clothes today for a quick and crazy photo shoot on Main Street in Bountiful. Here are a few of my faves...
I have to say... I love them all. Even the little one. He's NUTS!!

Recent Projects
This is a table I found at the Centerville Deseret Industries a few weeks ago for 15 smackers. Not too shabby, right??I am HORRIBLE at taking before photos... I just dive right in on the project. Who has time to stop and take a picture... okay... I'll try better next time!!
Anyway, this thing was NOT attractive. Boring old wood. Pretty beat up.
So... I sanded it A LOT, sprayed a single coat of primer, and added about 3 coats of leftover paint from a pantry door paint job gone bad. It's a buttery yellow.
After everything dried I took the belt sander to it and scuffed it up a bit. Then I applied a dark stain and wiped it off with a damp cloth as I went. Once that dried, I finished it off with a coat of light wax. I must say I am absolutely in LOVE with this piece.
These are some pillows I stitched up for the family room sectional. All by myself. No crying or swearing involved. Be amazed... Fabric was ordered from LIV on Bountiful Main Street.
This is another table I recently finished. Every living room needs 2 coffee tables right?? His and Hers?? Actually this one is for sale. I love it, but a girl can't keep it all!!
More projects to come...
