My Bar






My bar is finished! Yay! Jason did a fantastic job! This is really what he loves to do - he is a general contractor and will do anything, but he is a fantastic carpenter/artist and really really loves to create things like this. The first photo is the before - the empty closet in my family room. It was pretty worthless, and I had wanted to have a bar in there forever (I've lived in this house for 12 years!). I told Jason about it, and he made it happen! (Please ignore my reflection in the photos!). If you live near me and want something done in your house, you should really check out Jason's work here!

It's GORGEOUS! Give Jason big kudos on a spectacular work of art.

(and then send him to my house to remodel my wet bar? Please?)

Enjoy it!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
