100th post and My first Giveaway

So I have reached 100 posts! I cannot believe it. I have enjoyed blogging so much. I am also approaching the year mark since I started blogging. I love looking back on posts that I have done, it brings back so many memories!

I have been so excited to share my "secret project" with you!

Welcome to my Kitchen...

Starting this week, I will be starting the biggest project I have ever done!

I am getting super excited for it!



I will be painting all of my cupboards!!

The color I chose is a Primitive Red.



I also want to get new knobs for all the cupboards!

The color will be similar to the table legs below.

I also want to repaint those table legs, and I want to paint my kitchen chairs black!

My color in the kitchen will be Red with Black accents.



Am I crazy?

Please tell me I'm not!




As we speak a major change is being made in my kitchen! (at least I think it's a major one)

My avocado sink is getting replaced!! I am so excited. It is so ugly. I am also getting a new faucet with a sprayer built in, and a garbage disposal!!! I feel like a kid at Christmas!! I love updating our home. I am also getting a new Black dishwasher! Hubby's brother is going to install it sometime soon. So then all I would have left to update is my ugly oven!!! I'm sure you did not miss that one in the pictures above, it matches my ugly avocado sink perfectly. UGHHH..

I cannot wait to show you the new sink and faucet!!


Onto my very first giveaway!!

Since my colors are changing a bit in my kitchen, I am needing to change a few pieces I was using to decorate with. I purchased this awesome sign about a year ago, it matched my kitchen perfectly, it is a orange/rust color. I was thinking what a perfect item to give away! It could go from my kitchen to yours!!

It says: Taste and see that the Lord is good. Psalms 34:8



Also, I am hoping this could help you get started on a "secret project" of your own!!

A Lowe's Gift card!!!

Any kind of projects that I do myself are so rewarding. I love the outcome, and the sense of accomplishment. I will fill you in with updates as I am working on this project, I really do not want to rush myself, I want to try to do it right. I will be using these instructions.

I Need your ideas

I, along with my Mom and sister, am hosting a baby shower for my new little nephew. I am in charge of baby shower games. I have done games before, but my mind seems to be totally blank when it comes to planning the games. If you have any games that you wouldn't mind sharing I would be very happy to hear from you! ANY ideas would help.

I'll make sure to post about how the shower went. It is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 21. I am attempting a diaper cake, any tips on that would be greatly appreciated as well! I will let you know how it turns out!!

Thank You to all my blogger friends for encouraging me through my very low moments in life as we go through infertility. Your sweet comments mean more to me than you know. It is really a strange thing to share all my thoughts and fears with you even though we have never met. I think it is a blessing to have people like you to encourage me and lots of others that are struggling also.

Scrapbook Fever

I have been so excited to get my scrapbooking started once again. Yesterday I got all of my stuff together, set up a little table in the living room and got ready to scrap my little heart out. I was not able to get a lot done, so I am ready to get lots accomplished before the week ends.

This is my "perfect place to be" right now. How much better can it get!

I have been working on a scrapbook of our wedding, I have a small amount of pictures because my Mom's camera got stolen. So I only had a few snapshots, but I have lots done by the Pro's. I really need to get a scanner so I can show you all!

So here is an idea of what I have and will be working on.

After the Wedding I want to do our Honeymoon, and it is going to be a big, fat book because we took lots of pictures. Before we got married I started a scrapbook of Kevin and my dating years up to our engagement, I finished it the year after we got married. Now looking at it I am so glad that I did that, it is so interesting to look at. And it gets all my pictures organized, and easily accessible. So that is why I love to scrapbook.

I realized how much of my Mom's stuff I had been using, so tomorrow I wanted to go grab a few things at our local Scrapbook store .

I wanted to get some idea from you all:

What item could you not live without when it comes time to scrapbook?

I would love any creative ideas or any great scrapbooking blogs!

I feel so blessed to finally have the time to start some scrapbooking.
