Books, Books, Books, Oh my gosh, I'm drooling!

I absolutely love books. This first picture is my prayer journal plus my journal from Kuwait I use for notes on things I learn in my personal Bible study time like Greek and Hebrew words (that is another post for later) I wrote about how I will have to hide my math anxiety (though when I get math, I absolutely love it, its the not getting it that gets me) a couple posts ago. Well, reading and books will be over the top genuine. What I should have pictured here is the leather books furniture we have. Our coffee table appears to be three leather bound books which actually holds our movies inside. Our board game cabinet looks like a half circle shelf of leather bound books (which is actually supposed to be a wet bar) and our side table by our chair is a nice little round table that looks the same as the others. Oh yeah and the end table where we store the National Geographic and all my miscellaneous papers. Okay, I'm going on and on about this. Sorry. I get a bit fanatical. Here are a couple more pictures of my latest book decorating.


I saw this idea in a Potter Barn catalogue. I was not liking how short the lamps were anyway. I waited until I found the right books and at last I have. Mine are Anna Karinina by Leo Tolstoy, an old children's dictionary and a green leather bound journal. I took the six or seven pill bottles(prenatals, and other needed vitamins), water bottle and magazines off so you could get a better view of the actually asthetic aspect. I don't want you to think it looks this nice all the time.
This is Dan's bedside done up with books under the lamp. His bedside always looks this good. His books are an old black leather Bible study journal, a green book with gold lettering titled, Right and Wrong and another I can't remember at the moment. Sorry this picture is a bit fuzzy. I'm certainly no photagrapher.

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...

My second greatest creation!

Image
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 ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
