Simply Shabby Chic, at Dollar Tree, no way!

SCORE!!!
I could not believe my eyes. I seriously found these "Simply shabby chic" dog collars at Dollar Tree!!! They had covered up the Simply Shabby Chic label. When I saw them I said to my Sister, "wow these are so nice they look like they are made by Rachel Ashwell" (not thinking I would ever find something by her at the dollar tree) Then I said to myself "hey the writing and the colors of the packaging really do look like Simply Shabby Chic". Then I Look in the light to see under the sticker and what do you know, they are!!!! We bought all 5 that they had, I mean who could pass up this deal. My mom took two, I took three. One for Bella & One for Lacie, then hopefully the 3rd one will fit Lulu when she gets big.

It's hard to tell how cute they are in photo's but trust me they are adorable.

Tonight I also found Simply Shabby Chic bedding at Goodwill again, the same bedding I already had, except in a twin size this time. It had a pillow case Yay! Since it was twin size it only had one pillow case, but I think it looks nice in the center of all the pillows, it brings in the pattern of the bedding to the pillow area.

 I folded up the twin size comforter at the end of the bed, I love lots of layers and I also like to be very warm when I sleep, so the more blankets the better. Also since these blankets our reversible, it makes even more ways to change up the look of the bed.

Now this pillow is also Simply Shabby Chic, but I did pay full retail for it at Target a few weeks ago, but It was so cute I had to have it, I love it.

Just had to show these adorable little dresses I found for my girls, at Safeway, of all places!

Today my Grandmother brought me Peonies!!! They are my most favorite flowers, I just love the pink. My Grandma is so nice to give me flowers, she gives me flowers out of her gorgeous garden often, I am a lucky girl!

 I planted 12 peony plants in my yard this year but mine are still small and don't have alot of blooms. I am so excited for them to get big in the next couple years so I can have tons for my house. They make me happy when I see them.


Time to go snuggle with my babies. Goodnight all.

Baby Lulu

This is my new sweet little girl Lulu.
If you are a follower of my Mother's blog you have probably heard about these sweet little babies.
Well long story short ( well as short as I can make it)
My Sister Tiffany (who lives with my Father) cat had kittens. My step mom had posted pictures on facebook of the kittens. My Mother had been thinking about getting another cat sometime soon since there's are both very old. My mother contacted my step mom about getting one of the kittens when they were old enough. Of course my step mom agreed, since she would be looking for homes for all the kittens except one, they are planning to keep. I wanted one of the kittens of course but they were keeping them outside, which I did not really agree with, so I didn't want to get attached to one then have them end up not making it from being outside. Plus I had just put down a deposit on Billie several days before they were born. Tragically when the kittens were 2 weeks old, Mama kitty went missing, since they keep her outside and they live kind of in the country, I don't want to even imagined what happened to that poor cat =[. My Mother came to the rescue and is bottle feeding these little babies every 2 hours, and now that they are in a warm house. I am very confident they are all going to make it, my Mother is a saint there is no way they would make it without her. Now that I am seeing them all the time since I am regularly at my Mothers house. I can't help myself, I want one! I am keeping the little black female with white feet & tummy, I am naming her Lulu. My Sisters Tiffany & Shakayla are keeping the orange and white male they named him butterball. My Mother, Step dad and my other siblings are keep two. (I have 2 siblings who live with my dad, 3 who live with my mom, all half siblings) They are keeping the all orange female they named her Phoebe, & the Male with the most white on his face, his name is Fez. My sister Chantels friend may be adopting the last little black and white male.
I have been going over to visit Lulu and helping bottle feeding a bit.
Tonight was the first night that my other babies all came over with me to meet there new little sister. Bella was very interested in the bottle feeding, I think she wanted to try it out to Lol.

I love them all so much!!!

Billie did not get to be the baby of the family for very long.

But I think he will be very happy to have a playmate.
Kisses<3
My youngest & my oldest.

All my babies together<3
They make me smile so much!

Splish splash, I was taking a bath

 (Press play for the full effect of this post)

Long about a Saturday night
A rub dub, just relaxing in the tub
Thinking everything was alright

Tonight was Billie 's1st bath, he was so well behaved for his bath, that the girls decided to join him. Billie was not really dirty, but I want to start giving him baths now while he is young, so he gets used to it. He was so good, I was really surprised. The girls were good too but I already knew that, they are always good for baths. I just had to grap my iphone to snap a few pics.

Little Bunny Fufu is glad he does not have to take baths.
They was a-splishing and a-splashing, reelin' with the feelin'
Moving and a-grooving, rocking and a-rolling, yeah

Tiny Glittered Frames


a
I found these cute little picture frames at Goodwill last night for 99 cents each.

A funny thing was these little frames each had a sticker on the back with a blog address. Out of curiosity I went to the website, it turned out to be someone local my Mother knows, she thought that was neat because she had never been to her blog before. What a small world.
I spray painted the frames white, and while the paint was still wet, I sprinkled glitter all over them, using the wet paint to hold the glitter on.



I put a picture of each of my fur babies in the frames.

Here is Billie at the moment, he does not want me working on this post. Lol

Bella


Little Bunny Fufu

Billie


Lacie


The frames are displayed on a shelf in my downstairs bathroom.

It's hard to tell in the photo's but the frames and super sparkley from all the glitter.


Billie really wants me to pay attention to him, and get off the computer. So I better get going



Hope to see you again soon!

Full Home Tour

Today May 17th is the official one year from closing on my home. I can't believe a year has gone by already! Feels great to be a home owner =] 
I thought in celebration of my home & my one year anniversary, I would do an entire home tour of what my home looks like right now. A year ago I did this post Post: Officially a home owner , when my home was empty, it's definitely pretty full now, I've done so much in a year! If you check out that post you can see what a difference I have made in my home.

Welcome to my home
My Home is 4 Bedrooms 3 Bathrooms ( 2 full & a 1/2 bath)  about 1535 square feet.If you see a room you want to see more of I am including lots of link to previous post I have done on different areas of my home below the photo's.

 Bella loves to watch me from the front window. Tonight Billie jumped up there too! hehe

My Guest Bedroom


The Man Cave
I have never shown my boyfriend "man cave" room on my blog before so there is no previous post lol,
My boyfriend puts up with having the rest of the house being very girly, so I let him decorate however he wants in here. As you can see not my taste at all! But he likes it so that's all that matters.


 Boyfriend's Bathroom
He also has his own boy bathroom. I actually did decorate this room for him for Christmas this past year. But again not at all in my taste at all. I decorated it all in Cowboys decor, his favorite football team.


My Loves
Just had to share with you this photo of my babies I just took last night. We had a drawer pic before, but Billie was not in it, since we didn't have him yet. So I took an updated one. To think only one year ago today when I closed on the house, I only had Little Bunny Fufu. On Sunday though is my one year anniversary of having Bella.


Thanks for visiting my home, Come see us again soon.
