The Story Of Us

My husband and I are huge fans of HGTV and watch in awe as rooms are tranformed, we are even more mesmerized when old furniture is tranformed into something completely new with just a splash of paint. We always wish we could do it but the fact of the matter is we never have the time. A few months ago we came across the cutest little desk on Craigslist being sold for no more $15, yes you read right $15! It was an offer to good to resist and the desk was in a pretty decent condition, perfect for our first makeover effort. The top of the desk had quite a bumpy texture and a few other nicks here and there which we sanded away and then used a woodfiller to smoothen out the surface. It was a job we could have easily accomplished over two weekends but with our crazy schedules it took us a few months to get the job done. We used some left over paint from previous projects and bought some new hardware and bought a paint sample to use to paint them. And wahla! For now this will...

I have been stuck in a crazy lazy unproductive funk.. and since I do nothing but sleep all day I have nothing interesting to write about.. no pictures to post. But I am dedicated to this blog and I have vowed to atleast post something new once a week. The week is nearing its end I still have nothing to post. So this week is dedicated to my Etsy threadkiller friends. These are all wonderfully talented people and so nice. 'Let It Snow Jewelry Set' This eye-catching jewelry set is perfect for the upcoming holiday season! The shades of blue, white, and silver echo both the representation of snow and the traditional colors of the Hannukah holiday. Found in Violinkeri's Shop 'Heidi Spring Asymmetrical Bracelet and Earring Set' This gorgeous spring-colored jewelry set includes a funky asymmetrical bracelet and matching drop earrings. Found in LisbonSky's Shop                     ...

It's been almost a month since my last post.. trust me it seems longer..and i am so glad to be back.. These last few weeks have been really crazy. The Holy month of Ramadan started..for those who don't know it's the month of fasts and prayers. The fasting was not hard after I got used to the no coffee in the morning and we only have 6 more days of fasting left. Not so bad. Speaking of bad, my hard drive crashed, my external harddrive that had 6 years of work accumulated on it and which I had stupidly..yes i admit very very stupidly had not back uped anywhere else. I have so learned my lesson. After the shock wore away I did my research and finally found someone to help we fix it.. he couldn't and instead of returning it evaded my calls for over a week. Once I got it back I sent it to the wonderful Cherry Systems in Atlanta who have recovered all my files and will be mailing them over to me soon.. phew what a relief. Now I plan to back up my back ups. Just when I tho...

This Saturday my husband and I joined the Westfield, NJ Photowalk for 2 full hours of walking and photographing.It was a pleasant afternoon and I took almost 200 photographs and am now going through the neverending task of weeding out the not so good ones and working on the decent ones. In the end I have to pick 2 to submit to the photowalk website. Those 2 will make up the 100 that all the Westfield Photowalk participants took. Bear with me while I explain the maths of it all. 1 of these 100 pictures will be selected to represent Westfield. 900 cities are participating meaning 900 pictures of which 1 will win the grand prize and there will be 10 honorable mentions, lots of prizes included. Now I have narrowed down my photographs to 20 something.. I have till Saturday to submit my final 2 picks and need a little help. Tell me in the comment section which ones you like and which you don't. I need all the help I can get.
