{weekend recap and deep breathing}

This past weekend I was all amped up.  I BLAME PINTREST.   I wanted to organize, decorate, clean, cook... and do it in two days.

Saturday I asked Rob to bring the tree out of storage.   He did.  And there is sat in the box until Sunday.   I decided to paint.   I have been wanting to do it for awhile.   So I headed to Wally World (aka Walmart......., i know, i know but it's 2 min from my house).   I decided on the color - open sesame.    I was going to get this red wall covered and it was only going to take me 2 hours in my head, as it was now 1 pm.   I finished at 1am.   But it's done.   I LOVE it.   It is a huge change.   I love the contrast with my white shutters.   Try to see past the sparse decor, since my decorations where taken down to be replaced with Christmas.  It's almost exhausting how much pinterest projects.   I NEED and WANT to get done.

After:

This was going on outside while we I was busy.

My "sweet" helper.  Offering all kinds of moral support.   She thought she scored when no one was watching her down her "chocolates".    Mommy was just too busy, lol.   *mother of the year*

Before:   *pictures stink, sorry*

After:  ** and so NOT decorated**

I did this last night..... I don't know.   It isn't floating my boat - stay tuned.

{Deep breaths.....}

oh ya.... and I made this.

I wanted to TRY this out - see if it was Christmas morning worthy.    It twas..... but plain old syrup I would suggest.   The icing was waaaaay to much.    You can find the recipe, here.
Again... blame Pinterest.

AFTER the holidays - I am going to attempt painting the cabinets.  I'm thinking dark and then distressing them. 
My inspiration can be found HERE.

**update**  

This made me laugh....  Raven's post.  And who would of thunk... A pintervention party.  LINK up my fellow Pinners! - so now I must join a "pintervention".
