10 Random Things Friday...

Ummm, i gotsta, gotsta hurry and i should have done this (post) last night but i didn't because a new episode of "First 48" was on and if you know anything about me, you know i LOVE me some police 
drama!!!! 
Ok....
1. This is why i need to get busy:
("trash", so i don't try to eat out of it, i guess?!)
 i can hardly stand to show these, it is OUT OF CONTROL!  i'm in a downward spiral with photo's. i have soooooooooooo many and i just can't keep them in a box. at this point i am sooooooooo behind that i am going NUTS trying to get them in albums. i have given up doing the xtra fancy pages but i'm a little psycho about making sure they are in date order.  there are stacks and stacks and stacks of pages waiting to go into albums.  as much anxiety as this causes me, i know most would encourage me to just give it up- but it is NOT happening, i'm in too deep!
(paper only- you know, so i don't put "trash" in it!)

2. I'm going to start this book (in LARGE print edition! cause i'm 42 now)
 after i finish this.

3. i put food coloring (1 drop) in my soap to make it fancy and match my kitchen.  i'll let you know if my hands are blue by the end of the month.

4. i'm giving this mascara a try-it says "AVEC volume boosting complex" and because i am a marketing person's dream and believe EVERYTHING they put on packaging... i bought it!
(it's by Rimmel London)

5. The Mister is getting ready for a BIG hunting trip... have ya ever seen so much camo?

6. from my yard

7. i've got this long skinny laundry room, it needs glamified! here is the before, the after is still in my head.  the walls are chocolate brown, i'm going to try and think around that because i HATE to paint and the mister wasn't keen on hot pink walls...

8. one of the projects in that sewing book of kids clothes. i want to dress like this, so therefore, Darling is going to. shut up, i know i can't sew, but in my mind i can and that's where it counts, right?

9 have i mentioned my awesome friend Chris who drew this picture of my daughter (when she was 3 at an Easter egg hunt-my daughter, NOT Chris).  i need to get it framed, it's a goal before the end of this year!
 let's look a little closer, because it is awesome!

10. PLEASE take a look at the above tab, the one about the kids hat drive. if you would facebook, blog or twitter this information, i will LOVE you forever!!
(this photo is from last years hat drive. the poor little one in the front isn't so happy about being in a baby pile!)
i'd also like to announce which orphanage will be receiving the hats this year:
Chengdu City Children's Welfare Center.
IF you have ANY questions about this hat drive, please email me!!

10 Random Summer Things Friday

1.  Roses from my garden in vintage lavender glass bottles.

2. An arrangement picked entirely from my yard this morning- love that!

3. The reason this post should have been titled "Projects I have yet to finish..."

4. Always looking to add more PINK to my interior :)  The seat and wheels were a rosy red and I'd show you if I could find my "before" picture but we all know I am NOT that organized...

5. Ugly chandelier bought for $15 at the Habitat for Humanity store... Just wait to see what's gonna happen! (don't worry, that's my garage, NOT my kitchen in the picture!)

 6. Our kinda tame (OUTside) cat, Sparkles, she forgot to wash her face.  Her Dad is Blond and her mama is a tortoise shell cat, so she's black with a black and yellow tail... We don't have cats that are going to win beauty contests roaming our property!

7. Another Habitat find... I have 2 set of these.  My friend bought 2 sets also, we got the last 4 out of over 750 sets that they had!  We thought they were dressing rooms at 1st but I'm thinking they were lockers from a nursing home?!  If anyone has any GREAT idea to make these baby's over, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear it!!

8. The grumpy bunny that lives in The Mister's workshop, maybe she would be happier if she were fuchsia?  NOPE!

9. a barrel full of spindles that the Mister TRIED to put in a dumpster... for SHAME!!

10. A cool bulb I planted this year, it's called a Pineapple Lily or a Eucomis Bicolor for you brainiac's out there!
Have a GREAT weekend!  The Mister and I are running a 5k in the morning.  I am SO proud of him, at 52 this is his 1st ever 5k race!!  Since I plan to leave him in my dust, I'll be sure to get pictures of him crossing the finish line!
~Don't forget to check out the Hat Drive tab at the top!!~
