Where Have I Been You Ask....BUSY That's Where!

So sorry I haven't blogged much lately.  I've been crazy busy doing many different things like............

Changing this ugly yard sale find (50 cents, thank you very much!).......

To this cuteness....Spray paint does wonders!

I've also been working on this craft.....

You can click here for a tutorial.  Mine are slightly different, but you can at least see where the idea came from!
I've also been helping my Mom redo her kitchen.  This has turned into quite the project. 

This project started with my parents getting all new appliances.  And might I add they have NEVER bought a new appliance.  They have always purchased used ones.  So anyway, new appliances means new paint, and new paint means new painted cabinets, and new cabinets means new countertops, new countertops means ripping down a drop ceiling, ripping down a drop ceiling means new lighting fixtures.  Do you see where I am going with this?  This small project has turned into a large one!!  But we are having some fun along the way.  It's always entertaining when us Green's get together to do a project!  Oh and that handsome man in the last picture is my fabulous Dad!  He celebrated his 64th birthday yesterday...doesn't look it at all does he?!?!  Maybe I'm a bit biased though ;)

I've also been buying all this crap stuff for our new lake house...

I meant to take pictures of our place last night when we were there, but of course I forgot!  Oops!  I will post some as soon as I can.  It a nice place, and we got a heck of a deal.  We are all so excited to start spending our summers there!  It needs some interior work, mostly design change.  Lets just say the previous owners taste is a LOT different than ours!!  But now worries we will make it our "home away from home" in no time! (hopefully this weekend!)

So between all of this, and working, and babysitting we've been trying to have some of these...

Because isn't that what summer is really all about...enjoying the sunshine!!  Oh and that fabulous Dad I mentioned early built this for his fabulous grandkids!  Isn't it so cute :)

Well that is where I've been hiding lately.  Hopefully things will get back to normal soon, whatever "normal" is! HA!
