My intentions were good

Our first campout this year! Our pack camps out for two nights at a camp site 20 minutes from my house. Last week when The Cisco Kid and the Chief were planning on staying overnight I thought it would be a good idea if I stayed with them. But the only way I would sleep in a tent is if I had a cot and a fan. So off to the sporting goods store we went. We all got a cot and I got my fan. We came home and put up the tent and put the cots in.  Everything fit very cozy. O.K. I am ready for a camping trip.

I did all the grocery shopping and prep work for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I met the Camp Master at the site at 1:00 to unload everything. Then I went back to the house to get some personal things ready and pick The Cisco Kid up from school. We arrived at the camp site Friday late afternoon and by 9:30p.m. I was ready to go home. It was HOT, MUGGY and DUSTY and I couldn't imagine staying in a HOT tent with two stinky men. I glad the boys were up for the adventure because I was out of there. I was done!!! I went home and couldn’t wait to jump in the shower. I promised the Chief I would be back first thing in the morning. I got out of my cozy bed at 6:00a.m. and went to the camp. Just in time for me to help get breakfast ready for everyone.
The boys had so much fun wondering around the camp site with their flash lights.
S'mores
O.K. The adults get in the action and have a really long game of tug of war.  Both sides were so equal in strength that the rope did not move for a good 4 minutes.  Then we got the best of them and we won.  All these pictures were taken by The Cisco Kid.   
I was in the front of the line and the Chief held up the back. 
We went hiking for a walking stick and the Chief cleaned it off for The Cisco Kid.

Second grade open house.

The Cisco Kids Teacher had a great open house. We got to see a fun presentation about what the class has been up to and the entire curriculum they have been working on over the past few weeks. As the Chief and I were talking to Mr. M., I gave The Cisco Kid my camera so he could take pictures with his friends. They were having a blast.

The Kid didn't do too badly with the Camera.

I had to take the camera for a moment and get a picture of him with his friends.
He is taking a picture of himself. 

Have a great weekend!

Still Shabby! Getting ready to be Chic!!

Since I have my Antique Booth I have come across some unexpected items that you would not normally use.  Since I love to decorate and be creative, I have found a great way to repurpose items that look old and very tired into something wonderful. 
Why throw it away when you can repurpose it?   I have been working on an item that I am transforming it into a small hutch / serving table.  I am using a head board, foot board and shelving from a desk.  It is almost done.  I will post the ending result when it is completed.  

Click on Coffee Table and you can see my past transformation projects or go to my Shabby Chic Inspirational tab on the right.

Going! Going! Gone!!!!

Early last week I went to see how my Antique / Shabby Chic Inspirational booth was doing and found it practically empty. I went home and got a few things together. After I picked The Cisco Kid up from school we dashed to Sugar Bears Antique Mall and quickly loaded some treasures in my booth. We had to hurry because I didn’t want The Cisco Kid to be late for Soccer practice.  
The Cisco Kid is doing the Happy Dance because we are finally done and he can go. 
I went back a couple of days later and found that a few big items have been sold and now my booth is empty again.  Today I will re-decorate it with some new items.  I will post later in the week what it looks like.
