Heres the skinny!

Hello to you all. I am so glad that I could set this up. For all you who did not know Dan was leaving the Air Force, yes it is true. This blog will kind of be like an journal of our adventure into the civilian world. As far as I can tell, I am so spoiled. It will be interesting. I have four more weeks until Dan gets home. In the mean time there is a lot to do.

For those of you who don’t know, I am currently volunteering as a child advocate and a peer counselor for girls and women in crisis pregnancies. I had been offered the job as volunteer coordinator at the CASA office I volunteer at and also did my internship for, but that is not to be. I had to decline for a lot of reasons that I will spare you the details. I am very sad and disappointed, but it was for the best. It has taught me a great deal about me and what the heck I am doing with my life. I can say one thing I got from this is that I am going to take my writing seriously. Feel free to hold me accountable. There is nothing like peer pressure to get a girl going.

This is not all about me. I want to know more about you. I already posted a question in my first blog. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, then here is another question.

What is your #1 romance buzz kill? Keep it clean girls! My dad could read this.

Dad! You'll have to check out my blog! hehe! candyandladybugs.blogspot.com

My biggest buzz kill is one of the girls crying, or trying to get into the room. Doesn't usually stop the romance for long.

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

A New Side Table Arrangement and Jewelery Give Away

Image
I did not think through planning blog posts on certain days when I had a Beach Trip planned. Shortly before we arrived at our rented beach house for the Labor Day Weekend, the owners cut off the Internet service. Bummer. Yes, I could have gone to the Dunkin' Doughnuts and gotten free Wi - Fi but that would have meant being pulled away from this cutie. Miss Wiggles does not like the bright sun (she is a fair skinned red head so I suppose its only natural) so she loved loved loved her sunglasses. Never once did she try to pull them off or attempted to touch them. I think 'cause she sees me where mine, she just knew. In the DIY blogging world, there have been so many neat table arrangements, and arranging every where else from bed sides, dressers , mantles, windows, etc. that I felt I should try my novice hand at artfully arranging my side table to the cozy leather chair in my library (aka, home office). So hear it is. I had this silver platter fit for a Thanksgiving Tur...
