Checking In

 

Hi guys.  Thanks for all of your great comments on my dollhouse post.  We're still working on it and have the outside nearly finished.  I'll post pictures soon.  I'm just checking in to let you know I'm still around.  I've just been very busy lately on top of having some Internet issues.  I started substitute teaching about 3 or 4 weeks ago...about the time of my last post.  Needless to say, I've been getting called quite a bit.  I'm really enjoying it.  It's getting me out of the house and around other people, somethings that I've really been craving.  I've subbed for high school and elementary.  So far 2nd grade is my favorite.  They love to compliment me and draw me pictures.  Such an innocent age, yet they do know what they are doing too. 

Anyway, hubby and I had a weekend to hit some first Friday sales in K.C. and I found a couple blog-worthy things.  This is an old tool chest of some sort and I loved its color and chippiness.  It's such a practical little box too.  It will fit right in to my craft room.

 

I am hosting Thanksgiving in a week and having a baby shower at my house in a month and I needed something to jazz up the buffet line. 

 

We found this old metal plant stand that is unusually short and it folds up for easier storage.  I loved the almost doily look to the tops of the stands.  I think it will work great for risers for dishes of food and plates of cupcakes.

 

 

We've been working on a couple of other projects for the girls' rooms too.  I need to take some photos and get them finished.  I just had to check in and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and let you know I'm missing blogging and stopping by.  Hopefully I'll fall into a routine and I'm sure subbing will slow down after this initial bout of colds and flu goes by.  We're still healthy here, but I have my mommy radar ears on for the tell-tale "cough" in the night.
