I can be kinda cheap sometimes. Not really cheap, but frugal? Well, I have wanted a matching comforter set for my bed probably ever since Joe and I have been married. They are expensive! Now, there are somethings that I have no problem spending money, but I always look for the best deal. For the past 3 or 4 years we have had this beautiful quilt my mother gave us for Christmas, but the pillow shams were $50 a piece and the bedskirt was ridiculous. So we ended up with pillow shams and a bedskirt that I found on clearence when I worked at Kohls and it never really match at all. Not even the same colors and the bedskirt was for a king bed and we have a queen. So , I safty pinned it to fit. Long story short (too late), I went to Ikea with my sister and I sprang for a Duvet cover with matching pillow shams and I bought a bedskirt to match. I debated with myself if I should just go hog wild and get sheets too, but I decided I could not stand the guilt I would put on myself for a duvet cover AND sheets. So, I didn't get them. Joe has been gone back to Fla. for work. So, to be nice I cleaned our bedroom and put the new cover and pillows and bedskirt on and I just loved it. When Joe came home I was so excited to show it to him (am I a complete dork or what) and do you know what he said? " This is great, but did you get new sheets. I would have loved new sheets. " AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

This is what happens when we get bored waiting for dinner!

I really want to be crafty even though I am not. I really want to make dresses and quilts. Have any ideas on where to get lessons or take a class?

We just got back from Bella's birthday extravaganza! Really..... I am not trying to spoil her and I am not sure how we will top this next year, but. We suprised her with a trip to Disneyworld. In all honesty we were going to go sometime this year and we thought it would be great to go over her birthday. When I was planning the trip Bella wanted to plan her party (remember, it was a suprise) so we had to plan something and I thought to a 4 almost 5 year old if she didn't get a traditional birthday candle deal she would be diappointed. (Or maybe just me) So, I planned a small family only birthday party that turned into two parties. One at Joe's parents house with his brothers and sister and all their kids and a bowling party with My Mom, Dad, Sisters, thier husbands and kids. This was the longest birthday known to man. It was really worth it. She kept thanking us over and over again withought being prompted to.
We had a wonderful time at Disney World. We did two days in the Magic kingdom and one day at Epcot. I could just go on and on about how much fun we had. They gave Bella a button to wear that said "Happy Birthday, Bella" Everyone kept saying happy birthday to her and for the first day she was shocked everyone knew her name. She asked me if it was magic and I told her it was. I am starting to wonder if she is going to trust me when she gets older. This whole trip she kept asking questions about the characters being real. Like is that a real castle and I told her they were all real, un less it was scary then it was fake. I can't help it. I want her to hold on to the magic as long as she can. hmmm... maybe I was at Disney too long, that was cheesy.
