Light switch project update

Okay so 2 days ago I posted about the light switch project. I made one and decided I liked the turn out so much that I'm just gonna do all the switched in the office since i'm painting it now. I think the polka dots will be so fun. So here's the two that I have done so far. Thanks for looking! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Redoing my office!!!

So I was on scrapbook.com yesterday and I came across this lady's scraproom. It was adorable! All of her paper all organized neatly, her embellishments all in lil jars lined in a row and the walls were bright LIME GREEN! I instantly fell in love with it.It was as if heaven has welcomed itself to her house! After that I could not get the idea out of my head.......I WANT TO PAINT MY OFFICE GREEN TOO! So I called anthony and out of sheer surprise he gave me the permission to paint the office. Of course the paint store that we go to was closed so now I have to wait until monday. I have been working on a cabinet though. So here it is. It use to have hideous stickers ALL over it. It was Anthonys before we got married. So I cleaned it up and heres the finished product. Let me know what you think! I LOVE PROJECTS LIKE THIS! Oh and I also did the frame and the "L" Super easy. I think it all will go together perfect once I get the green on the walls. I will post the finished room on Tuesday! YAY!

Fall is here!!!

Anthony is out of school this week due to fall break. Its been really weird to wake up to him. Usually he is gone by 5am and returns home around 7pmish, then eats dinner and then continues to work on homework or anything else he can catch up on. It has been so nice to spend time with him throughout the week. Yesterday we decided it would be a good time to go get some family pictures done. Most of the leaves had lost the vibrant colors I was hoping for (darn snow) but I think they turned out pretty good. Anthony used his nice film camera for most of the pictures so I probably won't be able to get them posted for awhile. But I took my little digital camera with me and took a shot or two. Hope everyone is enjoying the weather. Its been so nice to put a sweater on and relax in front of our fireplace. We broke the hot chocolate out last night. That was awesome.

I make cards! Tis what I do!

Lately my life has included 2 things, cards and work. Luckily they have come hand in hand because I have been put in charge of making bday cards for all the employees (dream big eh) . I have found so much inspiration lately from a scrapbook.comer named Danielle Flanders (http://danielleflanders.blogspot.com/). She is absolutely amazing! I wish I had half the talent she does. Heres a couple of mine. I wish I could spend just an hour with her, shes seriously my idol! Oh and also her blog is on mine, take a look at her stuff! You will be dumbfounded with how amazing she is! Heres my scrapbook.com gallery (http://scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries&u=84538)

"Lindsey, have YOU been drinking tonight?"

I have to tell everyone my story of me and Shanna in Boise...I know its hard to imagine anything worth talking about in Boise but this is excellent. So we left around 4:00 from Salt Lake to Boise. We planned on staying at the Anniversary Inn for the night then getting up and heading out for our hideous 8 hour trip to Seattle. On our way there Shanna got a hold of her friend and we decided to meet her for dinner at the local bar....the reef. So as we were walking to the bar Shanna asked me if it was alright if she got a drink. I don't drink she is always asking me if it is okay, what a considerate friend. So during dinner (I got a salad...with an eyelash in it lol gross!!) I got up and excused myself to the bathroom and when I returned Shannas friend had convinced her to get a second drink. She asked me if i was okay with driving us the rest of the way to the inn. Of course i said yes but instantly i knew i didnt want to for 2 reason....1. I hate driving other peoples cars. I can barely handle my own. 2. I don't know my way around Boise and I didnt have alot of faith in myself to get us back to the inn.

After dinner got over and the bar was closing (it was around 10:30...yeah quite the hoppin bar) we started walking down the street to shannas car. "Hey Linds, I can drive, I'm not feeling to buzzed." I thought about it and said ok....then thought better of it and yanked the keys from her. (this gets better, i swear).......

So I get in the car and the first thing i ask is "How do i turn the lights on?"

"They are automatic, don't worry about it"

So I pull out of the parking lot, go around one corner and what do i see in the rear view mirrors??? YES.....It was a cop pulling us over!!!!!!

"Shanna we are getting pulled over!!!!!!"

"No we arent! We haven't even done anything, keep on going"

I pull over, remember she was drunk, I didnt feel like trusting her instincts at the time lol. The cop comes up and this is the conversation that went on...

Copper: Do you know why I pulled you over?

Linds:NO!!!

Copper: Your lights were off!!!!

(shanna thinks of giggling but contains herself...this was serious...stay focused)

Copper: License and registration

(shanna begins digging through the glove box)

Copper:Lindsey, what have you been doing tonight?

Linds:We just got done eatting. (i know this was dumb because who just eats dinner at 1030)

Copper: Dinner huh? Where at?

Linds: The Reef

Copper: And you just had dinner? Lindsey is this your car?

Shanna: This is my car, I had a couple of drinks and so Lindsey is driving for me.

Copper: Lindsey, have you been drinking???

Linds:NOOOO! I dont drink!!! (LOL)

Copper: Lindsey, Take your seatbelt off please.

(I am now freaking out)

(Shanna is still trying not to laugh and is digging in the glove box, the registration she gave to the cop expired in june...which she knew lol)

The cop begins to tell me to put my hands on the windowsill. He then tell me to follow his finger with my eyes but i am not suppose to move my head.....So what do i do? well of course i move my head.....LOL.....

Linds:Wait!! start over!

He does it one more time and although i failed the test he let us go with a warning. Mostly because i think he knew i was telling the truth because of the fear in my eyes. As we pulled away we both started bursting out laughing.

All night in bed we would spuratically bust out in giggles. But after thinking about it i kind of freaked out! What if i would have let her drive? she would have been taken to jail and me and her car would have been stranded in Boise......I cant think of anything worse in life. Me in Boise!!! AUGHHH!

I miss you seattle!!!

Me and my good friend Shanna just got back from Seattle about a week ago. Her husband works up there and she only gets to see him once every month or so. She got to see him one of the nights we were there. Hopefully he will be moving back to Utah soon. We were up there for 6 days. It was a blast! We went downtown to the pike place market and walked through all the shops and watched the men throw the fish around. We also went to the space needle and took an underground tunnel of the city. We also drove to tacoma to the museum of glass and saw some awesome artist blow some glass. My favorite stop was the fremont troll. Its under this massive bridge just about 15 miles from downtown. Under the aurora bridge in fremont. Its about 30 feet tall. We only stopped for a couple of minutes and it was hard to find (thank goodness for the tomtom) but it was totally worth it. I wish that I could move there. Its so beautiful there and everyone is so happy when the sun comes out, although the weather was beautiful the entire time we were there. It was nice to just hang out with shanna. We both think we are just the most hilarious people on the planet. So the 12 hour drive was totally a blast. I want to go back sooooo soon!
