HAPPY SUNDAY

This is what I am up to today. I have several projects I am painting today. Something for the wedding, Easter decor and something for my desk at work. I have to pretty up my cubicle!!!!

I went to Mom's yesterday and she is gathering things for our garage sale next month and I found a perfect little lamp for Coco's shade I made this week.

I found that big shoe at a thrift store for $1.00..... STEAL

This is a horrible photo but I blew up a photo of Coco to a 20x30 poster size for her room. I found the frame at the Walmart sample store for $5.00 and thought it would be perfect for this project. I need to mat it later when Hobby is having a 1/2 off sale.

We had a great day at church. Our Sunday school class talked about ways to impact the community and we had some great ideas. As a class we are going out in a couple of weeks to do some spring cleaning for people in need. We also discussed some long term things we could do. I am so excited about some of them. First we are going to do a community garden and the produce will be given away during our Angel Food weeks. That will be a blessing to so many.

I have a meeting with some other ladies this week to begin making plans for classes that we can offer to the community. Some of the ideas sound so fun. Just a few are classes on being frugal, budgeting, cooking, canning, meal planning, etc. I can't wait to get started on these. It will be so interesting you won't even feel like you are working. This type of stuff really gets me going. Helping people while learning yourself.

If any of you have ideas or things that you have done at your church, I would love to hear about them.

I think my paint is dry so I better get to it. I will post pictures of my finished projects, in between laundry. It is Sunday, I should be resting but this kind of stuff is relaxing and enjoyable for me.

Small Bathroom Redo

A while ago I showed you some items that I was going to use in our half bath. Finally I have taken photos of the end result. This bath is between my scrapbook room (not finished) and the laundry room so we don't use it alot. Coco has decided it is hers and she uses it some.

The tile in here is pastel pink and green from the 60's! I have always wanted to remodel it but just never got around to it and now with my job loss of 8 weeks, it will be awhile before we can do it. I just decided to play with what I had. I found most everything at Hobby Lobby for 50-80% off. I used hot pink, lime green and black. I think it turned out so cute. Someday we will trade my scrap room with Coco's room and she can have this bath off her bedroom.

This hangs behind both doors when they are open. Coco can use this for her robe or whatever.

This medicine cabinet and sink really need to be gone. The little picture on the left is a card I picked up in Destin, FL and just put it in a frame.

Mistreatment curtain and ugly taupe blinds. Those I change soon. Need to put on Wal-mart list.

Need to put photos in those frames. The little cup holder on the back of the toilet, Coco is using for her necklaces.

I hope you enjoy my tour of our bath.

Have a great weekend.

OOPS

OOPS is a store in NWA with lots of cheap goodies! Knowing I had to go back to work this week I spent last week running around going all the places I wanted to go to that I couldn't do while working. OOPS is one of those places. It is about 45 min from me so it is not a place I get to often. I wanted to show you a few things I bought.

This birdcage was $6.25 and the cross was $3.75. Aren't they adorable. I have the birdcage filled with plastic Easter eggs on my table right now. I also found these little roses for .67 cents for 9 of them. I have wanted to do this project for Coco's room for awhile. I bought the shade at walmart for just a few dollars.

This is the finished project. I now have to pick out a base for her.

Is anyone else feeling the loss of hours for Daylight savings???? I can not get enough sleep. It has to be the time change. Maybe it is the 10 hours a day I am gone to work now!

Speaking of work I am loving it. I did go by my old office to pick up my Notary info and apparently they are just a week away from calling me back. Just my luck. I think the management was holding out so she could hire a friend of hers, apparently she has been in the office visiting lately. Classy huh??? I think I am in a great place now with lots opportunity that I could never have had at the old job! Sometimes money isn't the most important thing in a job!!!!

I am so glad tomorrow is Friday!!!!! Ready for the weekend!

GREAT DAY

Thank you all for the good wishes on my first day at work!

I had a great day. All the people were very nice, the company has lots of great points. Lots of training, which is so good!

I will be helping people keep their homes and that is one of the companies strengths. They want to retain as many customers as possible.

I am exhausted but a good exhausted!

This is short and sweet but DWTS is coming on so I gotta go.

Blessings,
Pam

Beautiful Weather

It has been the most beautiful weekend here in Arkansas. Friday it was in the 80's! Saturday and Sunday weren't that warm but still very comfortable outside. We worked on the garden and cleaned up and played around both days. Great times.

I did go around town looking for letters. Like these below.

Do you see the "A" ?

And the "E" ???

These will be used to make a special present for someone that might just be reading this blog, so I can't tell ya who!!!

I am getting nervous about starting the new job tomorrow. I hate being the new girl. Don't you?

I don't know for sure if I am starting tomorrow because there was a hiccup with my drug test. Who knew they would question me about cough syrup. I took 1 dose on Monday night and took the test on Tuesday. They called me late Friday so I have to take in the prescription to the clinic tomorrow, once the doctor signs off on the test then I will be able to go to work but I don't know if the bank will be ready. If not I will enjoy 1 more day of freedom.

I told Scott tonight that I wish I had a couple more weeks since the weather is so nice. I probably wouldn't get anymore done though. I seem to get sucked into GMA, Regis, The View and Martha!!! Oh morning shows I will miss you!

It is 9:16pm STUPID TIME CHANGE! I suppose I should try to starting winding down so I can get a good nights sleep in case I do have to go to work!

I am looking forward to Friend Making Monday and I am going to get to it on MONDAY this week.

Oh and Dancing With The Stars starts tomorrow....... I am looking forward to watching Ty Murray and Jewel. I love me some wranglers and a cowboy hat!!!!!!!!!!

Until tomorrow blessings

FRIEND MAKING MONDAY ON WEDNESDAY

I am a tad late getting my post in for Friend Making Monday.

This weeks assignment is What would you do with $1000 and a babysitter for a 24 hour period?

Wow I can think of tons of things to do with $1000 but I am daydreaming here!

1. Make reservations for the dear hubby and I at a nice hotel for the night.

2. Go shopping for a sexy dinner outfit and nice lingerie.

3. Get a pedicure and manicure

4. The hotel would have to have spa services so that we could have a couples massage.

5. Leave a note and key for dear hubby to meet me at the intended place. (this would be a total surprise for him)

6. When he arrived I would have champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for him before the massage.

7. We would go to dinner and maybe a show or just take a stroll around the town.

8. Go back to hotel for the night.

9. Sleep in the next day and order breakfast in bed.

10. Take our time coming home the next day.

Oh I want to do this now! Maybe I will start a fund so that we can do this soon.
Please go over to Kasey's blog to join us.

Blessings,
Pam

GIVEAWAY WINNER

Hi ya'll!

I used the random generator and the winning comment is #2 Candie! Email me at creech03(at)cox(dot)net with your mailing address and I will get your postit note holder out to you!

I have great news! I will be employed as of next Monday! That is if I don't flunk the drug test. I don't think it will be a problem except I have taken a ton of cold medicine this weekend trying to get over a sinus issue. Anyhoo, I had a interview with a large bank in our area last Thursday and got a call on Friday for a 2nd interview for today. They called about a hour later and offered me the position. Whoo Hooo

I will be doing something totally different but still within the mortgage industry, so I am excited to try something new. I have processed loans for the past 13 years and now I will be working in Loss Mitigation, helping people having trouble making their payments before they get to the foreclosure stage. I think this will be very rewarding and since the bank is so large there will be lots of room for growth.

I only have 6 days left of being at home so I am going to get busy and finish all these little projects I wanted to do. I think I will also catch a movie this week! Doesn't that sound fun!!!

On to something else CAN YOU BELIEVE THE BACHELOR?????? That was just to weird. I am thinking he is working on being a actor or something. I can't wrap my head around it just yet! Tomorrow night he will probably break up with Molly and Deanna will be back! I don't even know if I will watch the next one, Jason broke my heart and he is not the man I thought he was!!!!!!!!!

Gotta get to bed
Blessings,
Pam

p.s. Congrats to Candie on the win!!!!
