More craftiness and some cute kids!

I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day. I did! I got to sleep in, Dan made me breakfast. We had cream cheese and strawberry stuffed french toast! It was pretty good. We're not big on gifts for holidays like these. Dan got me some chocolate covered raisins from Trader Joe's. I love chocolate covered raisins, so it was a good gift for me. Then, for dinner he made me Pizza alla Diavola. Which is basically the devil's pizza. I know, I know, what kind of husband makes devil's pizza for his wife on Mother's Day? :) It's basically pizza with a spicy sauce, cheese and salami. It was pretty good, but the salami was pretty salty and we were drinking water all that evening. Anna had a little bit of pizza, but apparently the salami got to her too because she woke up at midnight crying for water. I gave her her sippy cup, which was almost full and she drank the whole thing. Poor little girl, she must have been so thirsty!

Here are some cards I made for my mom, and mother-in-law for Mother's Day. It was nice to get back into a little bit of paper crafting. I've been focusing on my house so much lately, I haven't really done much scrapbooking.

Here is my newest kitchen creation and I absolutely LOVE it!!! I know it's pretty simple and not much to it, but for some reason, it just resonates with me. It was so ridiculously cheap to make. I got the frame for 25 cents at a garage sale last summer. I painted it black. I got the decor items at Joanns and I think they were around 59 cents each. I put scrapbook paper that I had and probably paid 20 cents for the whole sheet. Put them together and what have you got? (name that song) new kitchen decor! (for only $2.25).

I love how it fills this wall here and fits perfectly.

I'm working on two other kitchen decor items to put up. I'm hoping to have them done soon!

I am also proud to announce that after a year and a half after installing our master bathroom door, we finally have a doorknob to go along with it! Yeah, we're a little slow on the uptake around here. We finally bought the doorknob over a month ago. After weeks of bugging asking Dan to put it in, he finally did!

It's funny how a doorknob can make you happy. We also finally bought trim to go around the door and hopefully will have that done by this weekend. The only downside to having a doorknob and not a hole, is that Anna can't play with it anymore. She loved to look through it while we are on the other side and then we would bend down to look at her through it. She loved it. However, her new game is Hi!/Bye. So she opens the door and excitedly says hi! Then closes the door and says bye. Only to open it again and repeat the Hi! and Bye. Tons of fun for a toddler. :)

Here is Anna's friend Mikey Creel. I watched him and his brother while their mom subbed. I thought they looked so cute sitting on the stool together, eating their grapes. Anna was busy eating, so she wouldn't smile.
