Latest Happenings and a Craft

By our entry way we have a table with all of our classy books.  (Yes, Calvin and Hobbes is considered classy in our home.)  I've been trying to come up with some type of decor to dress it up a little.  Danny was off with the guys one evening, so it was just me, the movie "Pride and Prejudice" (audible sigh) and lots of scrap paper and this is what I came up with.  I bought the frame for a dollar at DI (our local thrift store) and popped out the glass and painted it the color I wanted.  I then cut a piece of textured paper to the size of the frame and punched out lots of little houses with my house paper punch from scraps of scrapbook paper I had.  I chose colors that matched my living room, which is mainly white, brown, red with a teal accent.  I stuck the houses and letters on using double sided foam tape.  The hardest part was trying to space all the houses evenly.  (Don't look too close, because it isn't perfect.)  Anyway, this is how it turned out.

In other news, this week has been crazy busy with work.  I've had some really random times for shoots, causing a bit of sleep deprivation.  In the midst of my lack of sleep I some how locked myself out of my house one afternoon.  And then it started raining.  Awesome.  I didn't have my phone with me, so I went to my neighbors house to call the landlords.  No such luck in any of them actually answering their phones.  I decided to venture over to my cousin's apartment which is near by.  My aunt was there as well, so I hung out with them for a couple of hours until Danny came home.  Yay for family!

Now I must wrap things up to enjoy an evening with my husband, Indian food and the movie "Cowboys and Aliens".  Exciting, I know.
