Tablescapes

This weekend I took part in Tablescapes, a fundraiser brunch put on by the women of my church.  Pam and I decorated and hosted a "Holly and Ivy" themed table.  Our table turned out gorgeous (thanks to all of Pam's pretty things) and there was a good turnout at the event.  Josh was a good sport and joined us for the brunch too!

Valentine's Day

On Saturday we started off our Valentine's Day at the annual Kiwanis Pancake Carnival at the Fargodome. Brian had some tickets and invited us, so we got to experience the ridiculousness of the pancake feed. They were trying to set a world record for number of pancakes served in 8 hours, but they fell a little short of last year's record due to slower cooking grills. Oh well.

Then we headed over to the Plains Art Museum to take a pic of our painting hanging on the wall. It's coming home to us soon!

We had a lovely dinner at Paradiso, and then came home and watched "Nights in Rodanthe." Note: That movie is depressing. I think Nicholas Sparks likes to be cruel.

It was very nice to have Valentine's Day on a Saturday! :)

Painting

It's been a few years (so sad!) but I finally started painting again.  And I don't mean the walls!  I've painted enough of those.

Here's my entry to the painting world once again.

And here's the process:

And the end result:

Living Room Update

We finally got around to painting our living room, and I think it looks wonderful.  The walls are a little bare yet, because we're still deciding what to put there.  Here are a couple of pics for your enjoyment. :)
