Friday is here...

How has your week been?
Did you get all the things done that were on your to-do lists?
What do you have planned for the weekend?

I have to say.. I am loving facebook.. It has allowed me to make lots of wonderful new friends and to get back in touch with long lost ones too.
Saturday, my very best friend in the whole world will be coming to visit.
I am sooo excited.. We haven’t seen each other in about 9 years.. And the last time we spoke before losing touch again was about 5 years ago. I have missed Laurie so much. I can only imagine the memories that will surface this weekend. From our phone conversation, it feels like no time has passed at all.. No hesitation, no awkward silences.. Just 2 friends talking like we always did!
I will definitely have some pics to share with you all Monday!

For now though, here are some pics of the house that I promised.
We have lots of work to do with the landscaping (the house has been empty for 12 years). But I will wait until spring so that I can see just what treasures we have lying dormant under the surface.
There are lots of Crape Myrtle & Mimosa trees.. And I love both!
Oh and tons of Oak trees!

These were all taken before we bought it
so a lot has been done and still more left.

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,
