Glue Guns are HOT

So I been absent from the blog scene for a couple reasons.  Why?  Well I started reading other blogs...and there is a whole group of crafty people out there and they make tutorials on how you too can be crafty so I decided to give it a whirl.  First project that I decided to tackle was a simple book wreath.  According to the crafty folks out there it is easy, cheap and quick (about 2 hours).   It took me two weeks, 2.5 books and I burned myself about 8 times.  What the crafty bloggers forgot to tell me is that glue guns are HOT - super HOT and you will burn yourself if you touch the glue.  Here is the wreath:

Royal Wedding

Happy Marriage Monday!  Since I slept through the Royal Wedding last Friday I have decided we will have our own Royal Wedding today.  So I googled Royal Wedding highlights and nothing they did seems that challenging so today we will repeat the royal wedding and add our own flare to it.


Wear a Crown & a Veil:  They have foam ones in the $1 section of target and a few sheets of toilet paper will serve as a great veil.


Receive New Titles:  The queen bestowed the Title of Duke & Duchess of Cambridge to  Prince William and Kate.  I have decided that Zeb and I will become the Duke & Duchess of 6525 ~ 46th Ave NE


Carriage Ride:  Since we don't have a carriage or horses I have decided that we will use Wesley's stroller and take turns pushing each other in it.


Kissing on the Balcony:  Our deck is a few feet off the ground so I am pretty sure that is the same thing as a balcony.


Eat Bacon Butties:  "crisply grilled, not-too-fat bacon between thick slices of white bread."  Apparently these were served at the late night reception.  Sounds like a BLT (minus the lettuce and tomato) and makes for a quick and easy dinner.
