What I've been up to, besides being a mom of 4...

I have been a slacker again about posting.  I have been crazy busy with every aspect of my life, I know that all of you can understand completely! :)

Leslie and I had a booth at a consignment sale with my sister and sister-in-law.

We made an assortment of hair accessories.

This is what didn't sale and is now for sale at our local flea market.

We decided to do the booth about 2 weeks before, so we were in a mad rush to make over 200 items.

I told my mom that if I ever had the thought to do a booth again to knock me over my head and remind me of how stressful it is!! :)

I am trying to do what my signs says "Live Simply"!

This is my small mudroom/laundry room that is also a hallway that leads to the garage.

I was wanting something a little more wood/worn for my shelving, but until I find the perfect piece, this will do.  I bought it at Lowe's today...super easy to put together.

While I was loading the box into my cart, on the other side of the isle I spotted these fabulous metal buckets.  They were only $7 each, cheaper than a lot of the woven baskets that I was checking out.

Then, I went down the "numbers" isle by the mailboxes and grabbed these numbers.  So, each kid has a number according to their birth.  I put Kate up top because I figured that I would be reaching for her stuff right now.  I was tired of tripping over shoes and backpacks!

I look forward to having everything in its place!  Crossing fingers!

This is the before shot.  I am planning on Bill {he doesn't know yet} to put up some beadboard and rearrange the hooks for the coats...so I will have updates soon!

It is not a very big area...in my dream house I will have a separate room that is dedicated to the mudroom and laundry...I will be dreamin' for a long time!

Kate and I had a field trip to HobLob today...only to buy 1 item.

I came home with more, as always!

I have to make something festive for my front door.

I have something in mind, I hope that it turns out!

One more little Magnolia Junk item that we altered using burnt satin roses!  The picture really doesn't do it justice...it really is cute! :)

Have a fabulous weekend!
