I guess you could say.......

that I'm in a pickle. A few weeks ago, Buddy and I were trying to clean out our storage room. It's down the street from our house, but now that Buddy moved his welding shop, we have plenty of room in our garage. We are slowly trying to empty it, and save some $$ and get rid of that bill.

I had forgotten how much stuff I had left over from the now deceased Sassy Girlz. Tables, racks, mirrors. Stuff that in a haste, I just put into storage. We brought a lot of it home and Buddy helped me bring it into Kai's room. Then I had the brilliant (not so brilliant) idea to paint her furniture. I wanted it to match her wall. I first started with her night stand. That was easy enough. Then I thought, I'll paint her desk. I did that also. Next, she had two tables that were a different shade of pink, so I painted those. My pickle? I'm not sure that I really like it. Because now her headboard is still white and if I paint that pink, then it will get lost in the wall just like her night stand did. I don't want to go black, but I obviously can't go back to white. Buddy warned my not to do it, and I should have listened, but I never listen. Go ahead now Buddy, tell me "I told you so." My creative brain is not thinking right now. Should I paint the furniture another color? A different shade of pink. And then paint the headboard to? Should I paint the wall a different shade of pink that way the headboard and night stand won't disappear into the wall? I don't know...........I'm confused.

The one thing I did find at Target that I love is this cute chandelier wall decal that has rhinestones on it. Whether I paint the wall or not, this comes off and I can re-use.

Here is the picture of the night stand blending right into the wall. Night stand pink, headboard white. Not having it. (Ignore sleeping child on bed, that kid could sleep through a rock concert)

This rack, I had in storage and I used it for all of her belts, scarves and hats. Made her closet a lot less cluttered.


This table was also from Sassy Girlz and so was the mirror. I turned it into a vanity of some sorts. Another dilemma? This pink doesn't match the other pink either. I can't really paint it yet, until I decide on the other stuff. ARGH!!!!


See her desk in this picture. Pink.....and then the table another color of pink. ARGH!!!! I'm getting more and more mad at myself. OK now Buddy......stop laughing.



The other tables that I painted pink too. I know, I know, I was just painting away while watching What A Girl Wants, Bring it On and Another Cinderella Story marathon on whatever channel Kai had left her T.V. on. I was to busy painting the furniture PINK to change the channel. I'm starting to feel like Sally Field in Steel Magnolias. Blush and Bashful......NO IT'S PINK and PINK!



Gee....I wonder if Kai's name starts with a K? Her and her monogram stuff. I have to admit that she put all these things on her Christmas Wish list. I thought they were adorable and I of course ordered them. Then I ordered some for my niece, then I ordered them for one of her friends for her birthday. I think this will be my gift of choice until all the kids at TDA have them. They can be ordered in tons of colors with the embroidery in different colors too. And, you can pick your font as well. The glass is a brush holder, it has little beads in it that help the brushes stay in place. She doesn't really have brushes yet, so I started her with a MAC blush brush and a MAC Kabuki brush for now. If you would like to check out this website, it's called Glitzy Glam. Fiddle around, these girls have some cute stuff. I just ordered a few more items for Valentines day.


Well, I'm hoping for a solution to my pickle. Hopefully I can get some good ideas. If not, then Buddy maybe we can just get this bedroom set that I have been eyeing for the past few years at Pier 1 Imports. : ) I know, I know, I'm just saying.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start. 

Just how long has it been? A long, long time....

Not so much of a Blogaholic. I almost feel the need to change the name of my poor little blog. It has sat here deserted with no updates and no pictures. I think about it everyday, yet I can't seem to find the time to come back to it. My intention for my blog was to document so much of our days and lives. And yet, I have let months go by without one little entry. There is no way my mind can remember everything that has happened since my last post. So much missed. The majority of Kai's 8th grade year, and the majority of Nachito's 5th grade year. Not to mention how many holidays and important events I have missed. Trips and of course Birthday parties. Somehow I need to find the time to record these events, and even if I have to back date them, I will document them at some point. This week is a tough school week for the kids. AIMS testing for both of them. Today they both felt very good about how they did. Nothing much has changed in Kai's world. She still dances, still c...
