Just a little February Rambling.....

  So here I sit and it's the first day of February 2011...  Really?  What in the world happen to January...  where did it go?  I can tell you that it surely didn't go to the girls hormonal teens being gone to school....  this is the first week in almost 2 months that they are actually going to go ALL WEEK and they get sick.  But it's okay, it's not like they can help it.  Anyway, on to something else.

  My goal for 2011 is to start blogging better, I've really been a slacker when it comes to this whole blogging thing and I want to do better.  2011 has proved to be interesting ALREADY and I can only HOPE that it gets better.

  One thing I did do is come up with my TOP 100's for 2011... well ok, I guess they are really from the last year.  As I was going through some stuff today I also found my TOP 100's from 2009, so I thought it would be fun to create a blog post and compare.  So be looking for those...

With a little love....

Ok, so the Mr. cut these cute little hearts out over a year ago with the intention that I was going to use them.... well guess what.... I used them.  (Don't kill me babe)  Grant it that it has been a year since but I have definitely used them. 

Needless to say 2011 has given us many snow days and this week it has given us 2 sick days, so I used my time wisely to be productive we'll say.  This is the result.  I just covered them with Mod Podge, Scrap Paper and Voila!  You have cute little hearts!  Some of my friends will say "You make it look so easy" but that's okay, I love them anyway!!!!

Just wanted to share my little creativity for this month so far.... I'm sure there will be more to come soon!

Button Ornaments

These were super simple and turned out soooo cute!

Instructions:

Take a regular pipe cleaner bend in half and twist at the top of the bend one time to make the loop for hanging.  Then you will have two pieces of pipe cleaner hanging down.  Get your buttons together and just start feeding them on to the pipe cleaner.  When you get your ornament as big as you would like just twist pipe cleaner together and cut off excess.

Hope this helps!!!!! Enjoy!!!!! :)

Happy Holidays,

The Start of Spookiness

So, the start of spookiness begins here at the Wonderful House of Sugar Plum.... with Halloween just a few short weeks away, I've decided that I was going to start working on some cute but GROSS things to place around the house! In this blog and the next one you will see the pictures of the start of this process.... :) Feel free to use the ideas as I've just gotten a general idea off various places online and run with them. All I ask is that if you share my photos, you link back to me!!!! :)

It Is What It Is

Days come and days go... some good and some bad. Today is just one of those bad ones... :( One of these days I just keep thinking that life will return to a somewhat normal state, though I'm not really sure what normal is anymore. Things just aren't the same today in 2010 as they were even just 10 short years ago. Life with normalcy would be nice, ho-hum... just another day of wishful thinking.

A Different Kind of Hurt

As most of you know, my heart was completely crushed several months ago by someone very special to me. Unfortunately, as of today, I still do not know what exactly I did to cause the person to turn on me the way that they did. But after several months of thinking and continuing on with my life, I still hurt. :( Deep down inside... a kind of hurt that is like no other. I'm so confused and baffled as to what went wrong. The longer this goes one, the more hurt and anger that builds deep inside. Will it ever go away? Will there ever come a time when I will no longer hurt or be so angry?

Till next time...
