Photo Frame Collage

 I purchased these three frames at Goodwill for a few bucks each, they had the glass and everything with them, but were just an unstained rough oak. But solid oak. Great frames. I painted them black, along with several other wood frames I already had and then used a high lustre lacquer to finish them.

 I got these really nice white double mats for half off at Fred Meyer one day, so they were only $2-$3 a piece.

This was the best collage I could come up with, but I think it works okay and there is finally something taking up space on this huge wall behind our sofa. It really adds a lot of warmth to the apartment.

This was a pretty big project - I went through a lot of spray paint.

To hang the frames I cut out paper templates to tape onto the wall and then marked the location of where the nail would go and that worked out pretty well.

Merry Christmas!

Here's our sweet little Christmas dog in front of the tree! More pictures to come, I just need to get them from Jeremy :)

Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday!!

State Fair

We went with some friends to the state fair this last Saturday and had a great time drinking wine and eating funnel cakes!

After riding the 'Evolution'...

Jonathan won me a teddy :)

Mason's Newest Obsession

Jonathan rigged this rope up last night for Pibble to tug on and he loved it! He was making all these hilarious growling noises, which I caught on video, but for some reason I can't get to work on here. I will probably post it on YouTube later.

Getting some help from Daddy.

The Girls!

July 1, 2008

This was taken right before we went out to meet our husbands as they landed, so we were all in very good moods :)

The new house

The Living Room. There is also a formal living room in the front, but we only have a desk in there, nothing fancy.

TV Bean Bag room

The Bar

The dining room, with my scrapbooking stuff everywhere.

The Pool! I'll post some pictures of Mason swimming later, he loves it!

The master bedroom.

Mason made a new girlfriend.

So last night I was watching TV and heard this funny jingling noise from outside and when I looked, there was another dog out there! A cute yellow lab puppy was tearing around the yard with Mason. The next door neighbor has been watching her for another neighbor, so when I told him she was missing he came over and got her.

Only to look out the window this morning and see her again! So I snapped a few pictures. I should probably go back over and tell him she's here, but they're just having so much fun playing :)

Here's Mason and Kayla.
