Huggs,

Hey Y'all

Hope you're having a great weekend!
I've been busy as usual over here.
Finally got my new Etsy shop The Atomic Housewife opened. This one will carry my aprons and household goodies. I also still have my bead & jewelry shop, Le Core Femme open, I just wanted each to have their own focus. :)
Here are a couple new aprons and accessories that I have ready to go.

I would love it if you stop by and leave me a convo to say hi. (that way I can add you as a fave) :)

Today we went to Lowes and Home Depot. Talk about home improvement overload. LOL.. I had a hard time staying focused and pacing myself. But look at the gorgeous dining room light that came home with me.

This baby was originally $200... Not what I paid. :) She came home with us for a mere $78 bucks! I LOVE it! It just fits perfectly with the feel of the room.

Not at all like this poor little light that used to be hanging there...



Well I think that is about it for the night girlies! (er, well, actually it is morning now) LOL

Hope you all have a great day!
Huggs,

Happy Tuesday...

Hope your week has gotten off to a great start!

I've already had some creative time to make up some new bead sets and aprons. I also got the vinyl lettering up in the foyer.



I am sooo loving these vinyl sayings! I want to put them all over! :)

As promised, here are the goodies that I got for Mothers Day!

Hubby and "Wild Woman", took me for a day out and then to eat at our fave Mexican food restaurant.
And look at the fun goodies they got me...


Papercraft magazine, fun printed & textured, velvety papers, cricut blades & vinyl..


Loads of cardstock & clay...


And 3 great, new movies to add to my collection...
(I lurve me some Jason Statham!)

And look at the goodies that "Baby Girl" sent to me.. (she wasn't able to come down for Moms day, but will be coming in this weekend)..



She knew that I had my eye on this book.. annnd the entire season of Swingtown! YAY! That was our show.. We always watched together before she moved out.

I have such a wonderful hubby & kiddos! and I treasure every minute I get to spend with them!

Thank you all for letting me share!
Have a wonderful day!
