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 ...

Stressed blessed

Strange title right? Let me explain. Over the weekend we put our a/c on in our bedroom and it smelled disgusting. We call for service, being the planner I am, we of course have a service contract... So they come to service it and they tell me it needs to be taken out of the wall for two week to be cleaned etc. etc..... LONG story short we need a new a/c, this one is shy of three years old and the old service contract I paid in full for, is now gone with the unit. New a/c = new service contract =  more $ spent.... So this stressed me out. We also have a lot of things happening in the next few months. We have three monumental birthdays coming up for loved ones, a bridal shower to celebrate, a baby being born, a wedding, our son's dedication, Father's day, Memorial day and house guests coming to stay with us ... all which we need $ to purchase gifts, outfits or items for... So this stressed me out. Then, I sat back and thought about it. I realized ...

Noah's dedication

A month later and I've finally gotten around to posting about this amazing day. Originally Mr. B and I wanted to have the dedication at home, but we opted to have it in a restaurant instead. Less clean up, less set up and less stress ! We went to one place and fell in love with it. We booked it on the spot. Here is what it looks like inside, if you know me in real life, you know this is 100% my style. I looked online for a while to find the right invite. Most websites are pre printed invites that all said "Baptism or Christening".... it was hard to find one that actually said or allowed me to write dedication. I went with the good old staple, Vistaprint. I also designed labels there as well. Below you can see both. The cake was something I wasn't 100% sold on since we really didn't need one because there was a dessert buffet. But I figured for picture use, it would be good.... hindsight, I have one picture of it !!! Waste of money, although the cake was del...
