Ramshackle Reunion

Just wanted to post a few pics of a fun dinner we enjoyed with friends we don't get to see very often. My friend from High School, Shan was coming down from KY to FL for a vacation with her boyfriend and daughter and she got in touch with me and our other friend Summer and set up a dinner date. We had a great time catching up. Summer and her hubby Ryan and their daughter Carlyn live in Orlando but we still don't see each other much. Good friends, good food, and great time!
Summer and Ryan trying to decide what to order....
Me and Gus cheesin'


Carlyn and Hunter getting to know each other better....


Shan's daughter, Kirsten and Meagan. Kirsten was the flower girl in our wedding - wow, she sure has grown up!


The three of us - Me, Summer, and Shan. We haven't all been together in years, but we just picked up right where we left off. Until next time.....

Avery's New Room

So, as I promised, here are the pics of Avery's newly redecorated bedroom. All I can take credit for is picking out the bedding and repainting. Oh, and I did cover the lampshade and re-do the photo board with some extra fabric, but the rest of the credit must be given where it is due. And that would be to my uber-talented sister, Lisa . Seriously, if you haven't checked out her website, what are you waiting for??? Anyway, enough shameless publicity for my amazing sister, enjoy the pics:




I did pick up the blue and green flowers at Bealls Outlet hoping I could use them in the room and with Lisa's help (and adding another flower and some precious butterflies) here you have a very cool part of the room.


So happy we were able to fit the keyboard in a better place in her room.


I absolutely love this corner of Avery's bookcase, desk and alot of her artwork that we were able to display. My darling, pack-rat of a daughter has been strongly encouraged to keep it nice and neat!!

Okay, so last, but not least is my absolute favorite part of the re-do............THE CLOSET!!! I know it sounds weird, but we literally took everything out, got rid of a ton of crap and put it all back in a much more organized an functional manner. I am literally in love with the end result!

It was alot of work, but so worth it in the end. Can't thank Lisa enough for all her hard work and passion she put into Avery's room. LOVE you, girlie!!
