New light fixture...

So I my next project is my bathroom. I changed out my light fixture yesterday, still have yet to paint, ect. Anywhoo, pretty proud of myself, first time switching out a light fixture. AND it was so easy! Now that I know how easy it is, I plan on changing out a few more. :)

My bedroom...

Here are the pics of my bedroom that I promised. :)

(Yep, all that closet space is MINE! bwahahaha!) 

Oh my poor neglected blog....

Wow, it's been a while since an update, eh? lol So sorry, now that I am down to the very basic's at home (no tv, no internet, ect) I don't get around posting here too much anymore. So much easier to just upload to Facebook from my phone. But, since I have some free time at work today, and it is Christmas, I will update you all. :)

Sooo, MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! I have to work day shift today, so my mom and step dad got up super early to come over to my home to open presents and eat breakfast before I headed into work. It was a great morning, and Daisy was very happy and excited about what Santa had to bring her.

(Cookies and milk for Santa....carrots for the reindeer)

My birthday: I turned 31 this year. It was a great birthday. I had to work night shift the night before my birthday. I didn't get off work until 8am on my birthday, so my mom brought my little girl to my work at 7am before taking her to school to give me presents, and birthday hugs and kisses. It was pretty sweet. Then my mom took us out to dinner that evening at Fatz Cafe.
Daisy also had her class Christmas party that day, which was also fun. I love her teacher, she really does a fabulous job! And she is all about Christmas. She went out and bought all of her students presents and had Santa bring them into the classroom to give to them. All the girls got barbie fairy's and all the boys got toy cars. They all loved them.

Gatlinberg: Fun town in TN. Lot's of stuff to do. We went with our friends for my birthday for a day of shopping, to get "old time" photos taken, and to go out to dinner at the Melting Pot. Very cool restaurant!...but not recommended to take kids to, as we learned while we were there. ;) Still fun, though, and YUMMY!

Daisy's Birthday: This year Daisy turns 7. Daisy wanted to have a sleepover this year, and had six girls total spend the night. (And yes, I survived! lol). It was a lot of fun, and Daisy loved having all her little friends over for one big sleepover. I just want to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, having a basement family room. I just put all the girls downstairs on blow up mattresses to sleep, and they still had lot's of room to run around and play.

Girl Scouts: Still doing GS, and it is going pretty well. Being a troop leader is a lot harder that I thought it would be, but I'm getting through it. And the girls seem like they are enjoying it too. We started selling GS cookies this last week, and will be until March, so that should be TONS of fun (said super sarcastically....more like a big, huge head ache! lol) Really hoping I get through that without too much stress. Thank goodness I have a great assistant that helps me out a TON!

My House: I am having so much fun decorating my home and making it my own! Still have a few things I want to do, but it really is coming along pretty well. Here are some more pics:

(This is my "Family Tree". My friend helped me create this, and I LOVE it!)

(Yep, I turned my Fridge into a chalkboard! I really love this as well. It is super convenient to just jot down a quick note when you need to really quick and can't find a piece of paper, and Daisy loves to draw on it. Plus it looks COOL! ....I got this idea from Pinterest.com. I LOVE this site!!! If you haven't checked it out, you absolutely need to. And if you need someone to invite you (you have to be invited to join), let me know. I will send you an invite. :) 

(Daisy's completed room. Again, I had some friend's over to help me paint it, and I sewed the valances myself and created the ribbon board above her desk. I think her room turned out really cool, and she loves it too!)

(I also redid her lamp shade to match her valances, but did that after I took the picture.) 

(There are no fish in that fish tank yet...we are getting some on her real birthday)

(Art desk....her favorite thing to do is art. She loves her desk and spend a lot of time here creating art)

*Well, I thought I had some pics of my bedroom....but I don't. I'll take some though and post them on my next post. I didn't need to repaint it. I LOVE the color that is on the walls. I did buy myself some new curtains and comforter set, though. And I am pretty happy with the overall look of it. :)
