Christmas wrapping and wishing...

I gave you Mr. B's Christmas wish list and now I am going to give you mine. I am not as good as him for wanting gifts that give back, but at least what I purchase for him will do so.

Every year I get a new planner that I live by, I have had one since I think 2000 or 2001 and have saved every single one. I wrote a little about how my planner is a place I save and note all important things here http://kokopelia.blogspot.com/2011/11/four.html
This is the one I want this year. Love it !


When I saw this on Etsy (where else) I was in love with it. I will have to get the hubby to buy this with me right there because he never set up a paypal. It's all good though. I love it.

These boots from Overstock. Love them !! They would look killer with the above jacket over a black dress. Awesome !

An old 6 window pane to hang above my couch in our living room. Yep this will replace our wedding picture. It's all good though we have others. I want this in it's exact old condition that I will add some extra touches to it. It's a secret till it's done =).

There is perfume I want from my favorite store and I'd love a new wallet. I am pretty particular with the kind so it's very hard for me to find one.
And, of course I want clothing, but I am VERY cheap now a days when it comes to them and most of what I like is vintage and from Etsy. So there is no surprise there if it's purchased for me. I think it's okay though, I am no longer little and do not need Christmas surprises anymore. However, my husband is good each year with some little surprise, even when I know all my gifts. So I am sure he will not disappoint this year.

So what's on your wish list?

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Tea bag magic

Don't mind this super old picture of our home. This was when we first moved in but I needed to show the coloring of the chair when it was first purchased. We bought this chair from Ikea when we first purchased our home. It was just okay to me but it fit where I wanted so I worked with it for a while. I played around with different pillows and blankets for the chair but nothing ever really felt right. Until recently, when I decided to take off the bottom cushion cover and dye it with tea bags. I have done the application twice and I think I have finally gotten it to the desired coloring. Take a look. Original 1st application 2nd application Another view So maybe now it will feel a bit better in the room. Not sure if I will go for a third application or change up the New York pillow.

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...
