Friday Faves

Hi Everyone,

#1. I am starting my fave list off with this Fabulous find!!!!! Wine in a Box!! Actually there are 4 bottles of wine in this box. I should have taken a picture of the really neat spicket that you press and fill your glass! Very cool... And the wine is very good!!! :) Gotta keep our hearts healthy!

Sorry no pictures for the next 4 faves....but I will show you why...

#2. My washing machine and dryer....... they are unhooked and in my garage..
#3. My stove.....it is unhooked and in my garage..
#4. My guest bathroom toilet......it is unhooked and in my garage....
#5. My swifer duster......its lost in my house somewhere......

We are in week #3 of our remodel. I am so happy because everything is going to be so nice when its finished, but in the mean time, we are a little messy and unorganized, and in camping mode.

Somewhere underneath this pile is all my scrapbooking stuff...... (I am going thru withdrawls)and my dining room table.. My closet is on hold until the dust settles and the kitchen is done.....

Remodeling is not for neat freaks and organized people like me. My whole family is dusty including my dog!! I feel like Pig Pen when I walk from one room to the next!! LOL!!! I tried to clean up after the guys when they leave for the day but the next day ends up messier than the day before.. This is my stove top.......

Here is a picture of my daughter blow drying her pants for work. I hand washed jeans thinking they would air dry in one day. Ummmm.. no. I think a family trip to the laundry mat is in order this weekend. I am hopeful that the kitchen and laundry room will be back up and running next week sometime........ (keeping my fingers crossed)

We are repiping the house.....Whoa...what a job that was.....
Oh...there is my dog!!! I've been looking for you!!!!!
We are replacing the tile in the kitchen and updating the guest bathroom this week...
Next week it will be our Master Bathroom...I think that toilet will end up in the garage....unhooked..... !!!!!!!

********************************************************************************

I have had alot of computer time this week..... trying to stay out of the way. I found a few things that I would LOVE to do!!

I am saving my money and going to this next year.
The ultimate craft fair in Omaha Nebraska!

As soon as my oven is up and running and I dust it and clean it thouroughly...I am making this Lemon Strawberry Poppyseed Cake with White Chocolate Frosting!!!!!

And finally I would so LOVE to take on this project. Click here and be prepared to smile...

It has always been a dream of mine to raise a Guide Dog. Maybe I can do this sometime in the future....I think this is such a wonderful program of really giving from the heart and helping make a difference in someone's life. We are going to visit the Guide Dog Facility next week. They need volunteeers to walk the puppies and to pet and love all over them!! Sounds like a very fun way to spend a day!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend my friends!!

Thanks for stopping by!

I am sitting here with a 3/4 remodeled bathroom. So I am feeling a little bit of your pain my sweet friend ;)
I can't wait to see the whole house when it is finished! It will be lovely.
And I was totally thinking of you today when I was posting my faves. I think you are a prime candidate for Jo Malone my dear!
