DECLINED ......

So Christmas was AWESOME !! Dubb and I scored when it came to restaurant gift cards, I was thinking wooohoooo I can dine out for a week straight and don't have to cook. So Tonight I said to Dubb let's cash one of those baby's in and dine out. So off to Chilli's we went it was PACKED and we finally got a table and made our yummy choices. We stuffed ourselves and handed over the GIFT CARD then i heard the MAGIC words DECLINED .....WTC I was so dang upset. Needless to say the waitress said "OH it's DECLINED you can call the number on the back of the card to find out WHY??? So after I emptied my purse and DUG out the $$$$$ I wasn't expecting to pay. I got home and called 1-800 to get this CHEERFUL little message we are out of the OFFICE until JANUARY 4, 2011. GREAT I have to wait until the new year to call and see if MY nifty Christmas gift is BOGUS or not. GOOD TIMES ......NOT!

The LOVE Shack .....

It's done and we both survived the MESS and  are still here to tell about it.This home improvement was a nightmare. We spent the first 2 weeks sleeping on a air mattress. It was like camping in the living room. It seemed like everything we did we would hit a roadblock. First the primer ran down the walls because our room was too cold. Dubb had to sand the walls and re-paint I wanted 2 tone paint so it took Dubb 6 hours of masking off the ceiling, windows, closet. He painted the first coat of paint, we took heat lamps and cranked the heat up just so the paint would not run like the primer did. Success it didn't run! Happy dance ! Dubb has worked so hard on the remodel. We only had the weekends to do it because he was working tons of overtime.I'm one lucky gal Dubb would do every tiny detail I wanted and would not complain too loud! Here are the final pictures. I still have to decorate the walls. But at least we have our "love shack" back!

We spray painted the ceiling fan, it went from Brass to Class!

Back Room

wood floor , base boards

Comforter

Now we just have to complete the Laundry Room and our house will be back to normal! I'm totally loving the DIY projects. But I don't think Dubb is!
