Crafts, Bedroom Decor and Basketball

This what we have been doing this last past weekend

I wanted to make a banner I have seem tons of them on blogs and just love the way they look. Here is my first attempt at it I think it looks pretty cute. I hung it in of office to make the long days at work "happy"

Here is our TV stand and all the decorations I found some of my old pictures of Dubb and I as kiddies. So cute to look back and have the memories.

Dubb finally let me hang stuff up on the walls. I got a gift card to Tai Pan for Christmas and was ready to decorate, but he didn't want any holes in the walls so I found "command hooks" they are awesome and no holes in the walls.

We finally made it to Kyle and Kolt's Basketball games. We have been swamped with the Home Improvements and this was our last chance to go it was their final games.

Kolt had his game first at my old Junior high it was fun to see my old school.

Kolt is quite the little "scrapper" he will get right in there and take the ball away from the players. He is  learning to be a very aggressive player. Way to go after the ball Kolt!

Are you calling a FOUL on me ???

Kyle shooting before his game!

Kyle is not as much of a "scrapper" as Kolt until today. My Sister and Brother in law told Kyle they would pay him five bucks if he would be aggressive and "foul out" he was well on this way to foul out until his coach yelled at Kyle. "NO MORE FOULS" Kyle listened to the coach and didn't get the big pay out!

It fun to go and be the cheering section for the boys. I remember my Mom yelling at the top of her lungs when we Rodeoed it was so embarrassing but on the other hand it was cool to have the support.

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!

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!

Cooper has been freaking out with all the pounding and mess. He will eat the sheetrock chunks if Dubb leaves anything on the floor Cooper is there to eat it!
I can't wait till we are done with the Bedroom and then it's on to the Laundry Room.

And the remodel begins.....

Last week I was very NAUGHTY! I decided that I can be a DIYer all by myself. I decided I hated the flower wallpaper in my bedroom and wanted a change. So I started to rip off the UGLY stuff and oopsey the wall CAVED in yes CAVED in. My house is 100+ years old and so are the walls, needless to say Dubb was not a happy guy. He just looked at the mess and said "NOW WHAT" as I giggled and said HUNNY BUNNY we get to REMODEL. He was not amused. So we started to rip all the carpet and base boards off. We have sheet rocked and sanded. I can hardly stand it I'm so PUMPED for the new look. But my achy body is not I've used muscles I didn't know I had to help get the room ready for it's new look. Sorry I don't have any BEFORE pic's but I promise the after.

 Wish me LUCK !!
