Whatchu Think?

Methinks I like it!

While we are on the subject...

No, I'm not really a lush.

But... St. Patrick's Day was so much fun!





No, that's not Guiness... I'd rather drink motor oil. It's pretty much the same thing anyway!

Lush?

So we had been on the lookout for a bakers rack since we moved into the house in 2006. We have this one wall in the kitchen area that would be perfect. But it was seriously like the story of Goldilocks... Everything we found was either too big or too small. It wasn't till the fabulous makers at Ikea shined the light on us in the as-is section and revealed to us the perfect object for our vacant wall! The wall space we were working with is approx. 36'' wide and 14.5'' deep. Well what do you know, the Markor cabinet is 35'' wide and 13 3/8'' deep. It is just right!

Before

After

I finally got to pull out all the fabulous glassware from the wedding! Our gorgeous Waterford Bar for 2 set, the Mikasa Cheers collection Martini Glasses, and the handpainted martini glasses too!

I know it makes us look like alchohol indulgent lushes but it makes me happy and I think it looks classy. I'll probably be pulling out some of the lovely glass vases and bowls and display here as well instead of the longaberger baskets... either that or some cute boxes with lots of color! (speaking of color- that plate/placemat/cup etc. has also been adorned with another plate from ikea with pretty light blue, magenta, black, and white designs. I love it!)

Cheers!

A grouch and a fairy...

Nope I lied! Just the cutest set of twins this side of the Mississippi!



And a bonus shot of Luca because he just makes me smile with his little man face :)

Woah

So I have not posted over here in a looooong time.

But I have been keeping it hopping over at Crafty Buckeye.

Possibly I might post some adorable pictures of my 2 favorite little people from our trip up to Canton 2 weekends ago. Possibly.

They are too cute not to share so I suppose I should.

Be right back.

Long Time!

Woah, long time no post.

I donated blood today. Well, I tried anyway.

I'll be trying again in May hopefully. Only this time I'll have them cover my arm so I can't see and have a nervous breakdown.

Last time I donated blood was 3/1/2001.

Yikes. 8 years to work up the courage to donate blood again? Seriously. It won't be that long again. Try 56 days. CBC- Be looking for me soon!

Happy Valentine's Day (and stuffs)

Well, tomorrow.

But anyways, my apoligies yet again for the lack of posts. I've been here, but I've been busy.

More posts will follow in the upcoming weeks and months as things are starting to pick up around here in Cinci. Obviously this weekend is Valentine's and we are celebrating with a trip to PF Changs for dinner and a movie. Next week we will have visitors! I am very much looking forward to them coming down for another visit- it's been too long! We will wrap up February with our first attendance to the annual BEERFEST at P & K's house. I have a feeling we have no clue what we are getting into but we are on the lookout for delicious American Microbrews in the next 2 weeks. Any recommendations?

March is full of basketball and green beer. I am taking off work that week and making a trip out to Illinois to visit my bestest Steph! I can't wait to see her and the fiance :) When I get back we will travel to Canton to visit and then wrap up that week with March Madness! It should be busy yet completely enjoyable.

April will most likely be a trip to Hocking Hills as well as Easter. And then it gets crazy.

May is filled with a bachelor party weekend, a golf tournament weekend, a wedding! weekend, and Memorial Day weekend. Unfortunately I think this year's annual Vegas trip is being put on hold till June but we may still go anyway. It is tradition after all.

Then we are full on into the summer which includes the summer party, my birthday, the Florida trip, and another wedding!

I'm exhausted just thinking about it all.

Yet I assure you posts will follow to document each listed activity as well as a few more that I have no idea about yet.

Oh and I baked cupcakes last night-
