this poor blog

I feel like this poor blog has been getting the shaft lately! I feel like I've been busy but am not sure what I've been doing exactly (I'm not the only one who feels like this right?). I've been working on several projects so that is pretty exciting. The first big deal around here is getting the window treatments ordered for the tippy top (I know, super exciting). The tippy top has several windows that have a unique/custom shape to them so solving this problem has not been easy. Plans are still in the works but I love that I can actually say, in the works, not just an idea floating around in my head. I'm sure my neighbors will appreciate the fact that I will no longer be flashing them and it should definitely help with the sun/heat situation up there (speaking of heat, of course the a/c up there isn't working properly...again). Another project that is underway is the pine armoire in my room is getting a much needed makeover. A gal in our mi casa is an art major and has taken that project on...I'm eager to see it when its all done. I don't have high expectations b/c I don't love the piece but hope it looks better than it did at least! I'm also finally tackling a photo project that I've been toying with for months now. I'm hoping to have it done some time next week..stay tuned! This weekend my friend Melissa and I drove 3 hours south-ish to Round Top, Texas for the antique show. It was a fun day with her but I didn't come home with a "find." (although I could have and debated it for a loooooooooooooooooooooong time but decided I shouldn't spend the money...but I really, really, really wanted it!!). Then we came home and I made these sandwiches. OH.MY.WORD. these were sooo good! The meat was so tender and flavorful, Adam thinks it should be a "regular" around here. I also made these blueberry cheesecake bars, I was a little disappointed in them, they weren't as sweet as I was anticipating and were a little on the bland side. So, all in all I'd say make the sandwiches, pass on the blueberry cheesecake bars. Okay, this post is getting a little too lengthly so I'll wrap it up. Sorry no fun pictures to share but I do have several sessions lined up that I'm sure I'll be eager to share with you soon!! Happy Tuesday! xo

Oh, those sandwiches look good!!! sorry about the blueberry cheesecake bars--I was eager to try them.
Can't wait to see what your armoire will look like and am so glad you can finally get something to cover up the tippy top.

I understand the feeling of being very busy but with nothing specific, really. Its just life, school, the usual. Glad these home projects are finally getting a move-on for you!
