MIA Again!

I just got back from a vacation in Ohio, and that is why I haven't posted in awhile.  I had planned on blogging while I was there, but when I arrived to said location I noticed I forgot my camera, makeup and shower stuff ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh@#$$%$$@@$$%%^^^&&^^ do you know how mad I was.  I had to buy a disposable camera.  I haven't used one of those in years, hello embarrassing not to mention not being able to  download pics when I want to.  I got over it, eventually.  It was a fun trip.  I went to the local Goodwill there a couple of times.  I saw a chair that I loved, but had no way to get it home, other than that I wasn't very impressed with that Goodwill.  The second time I went, my son got sick in the store, so that was not fun at all.
I have a few things in the works right now.  Tom and I are thinking about having a garage sale at the end of the month, and I have been going through all the stuff, "I had to have" but now find it to make for clutter.  Tom and I changed our dining room up today, and it looks great, I just want to do a few more things before I take pics. 
I have to say one one great thing about going on vaca and not using a computer for awhile, makes it that much more exciting to read new comments on your blog, see new followers, and check out what everyone else has done.  Love it. 
P.S.  I know this isn't blog related, but I also love catching up on all my fav TV shows.  I can't wait to watch New Jersey Housewives reunion show.  I love all those housewives shows. 

We Have a Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so the winner for the baby food jar challenge was me!  The next challenge I am going to propose is to create something from nature.  I want to see what people can do with something from outside.    Good luck, there is a lot of competition.

New things for behind couch

I went to Goodwill yesterday and got somethings for the new table behind the couch.  I think what I got looks good,  maybe just a little tweaking.  I am also using a faux fur pillow case to lay on top of the toys in the living room.  I saw this on some blog, sorry I can't remember which but I liked it.  I  put a plant in the room too, say a little prayer for it, because Noah is sure to tear it apart.
Thriftydecorchick is already ready for Fall, NOT ME!!!!!  I sent her a pic of a leaf room divider I made, she wants all pics fall right now.  I am going to post it on here as well.

Inspirational Idea #2

I have taken a little break from crafting for a few days, but yesterday morning I was reading some blogs when I saw this little table a chick made for behind her couch.  She had gotten the idea from thriftydecorchick.com.  I of course wanted it.  We really don't have room for end tables on that side of the room, and never have a place to put our drinks when we sit over there.  We had some scrap wood in the garage so we just cut it and put it together.  You can find the full instructional plan at thriftydecorchick.com, just check out her living room from the page "our home".
I really like the table, but still have not figured out what to put on the shelf.  I am going Goodwill hunting today.  It is hard to put any Nick knacks around with my little one, he has his hands on everything.  This is a pic I took last night, but I was just trying to get some ideas of how to decorate it.  I would like to get some of that faux wheat grass.  Well here is the pic, the decor behind the couch not permanent, but what is permanent is my new dark hair,  Tom dyed it yesterday.  I love the L'Oreal Ferira hair color, usually go to salon which is like $120.00, but I swear my hair looks as good as when I leave there.
