so.........

HAPPY SUMMER!

if you're looking for a few summer FUN ideas,

look no further than THIS:

 pretty cool, huh?

this poster could SAVE you this summer...hahaha

and have you heard about the 30 Days of Photo Fun?

check it out...

i'm giving it a try but if you know me, there might be a few days 

i miss and have to catch up on photos, like today...

day 1 was actually yesterday:)

day 1-self portrait

  

day 2-favorite shoes

 what can i say...i love wedge sandals...

and FLIP FLOPS!

who cares what they say on What NOT to Wear...

they don't live in Florida...

land of the flip-flop:)

why don't you join in?

i THINK the only rule is you can't use old photos...

because if we could, you KNOW I would have used an old photo

for my self portrait:)

lastly...i LOVE marshmallows.

peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches, 

marshmallow topping, marshmallows in my cocoa,

plain marshmallows, cute marshmallows.

 do you get it?

I LOVE MARSHMALLOWS!!!

F is for Fun Friday...Fake Tans, Friends and Funny Stuff...

Fun Friday...

I remember when my girls were at school, they had Fun Friday.

they still had to do school work but there was just a

TINY bit more fun in their day.

so i suggest we have a FUN Friday too, starting with fake tans:)

okay, I am officially THE fake tan QUEEN!

(i knew  was the queen of something:)

don't get me wrong...I've fried my skin in the past...

and while it's still pretty much okay,

I am well aware my day will come!

so now, other than a light tan...

(vitamin D, you know:)

i FAKE it!

FAKE TANS...

my first fake tan was Sudden Tan.

remember that stuff?

i have to laugh when i think of all the times I went around

with streaks and smudges from a BAD fake tan

and smelled really bad!

but NO MORE!!!

because I have discovered an at home airbrush tan by L'Oreal...

that I LOVE!!!!!

airbrush tans can be expensive...

and can smell too...but not this stuff.

it sprays on in any direction, 

doesn't smell bad,

dries VERY quick.

it's WAY cheaper than getting it done at a salon ($10)

and the can lasts about 5 or 6 tans.

last night I gave Jordan a spray tan and today...my turn!

check it out if you need a HEALTHY glow:)

 

FRIENDS...
so, my buddy "AL" keeps dropping by for a visit.
ever have a friend that just wouldn't go away?
it's not like we have a lot in common or anything...
and he's starting to be a pest!
he did let me snap his picture the other day,
although I told him he could have SMILED or something...
but instead he looks grumpy.
what do you think?

i really wish he would just go away
but he says he was here first.
yeah, right.
guess that's why they say WE live in the SWAMP...
because we do:)
 

FUNNY STUFF
i think I'm pretty good at texting...
FOR MY AGE!
there, I said it.
my girls may not agree...
but at least I've never done something like this...


OMG (see...I know some of it)
this poor lady! heeheehee
FUNNY STUFF!

 

I think I'll pass on this restaurant...

 

seriously?????

haha!

that's it for now...

happy FUN Friday:)

little white bench...

hey...

guess what i did yesterday?

i tackled my very own re-do project instead of lurking around

BLOGLAND, peeking at everyone else's.

my favorite little store in Naples,

VINTAGE CHARM

(love that name)

carries Taylor's Tutus and a few other goodies we make,

like glittered shells, teacup candles, sweater pumpkins...

her shop is little so when i kept eyeing this sweet little bench,

the owner finally took pity on me and said

"take it...it's just getting in the way".  

hmmm...tutu's for a bench,

not bud, huh?

so, i got it home and the color of the fabric cushion was NOT right for me.

it was a gold color that would have probably worked
but i'm big into the cream and whites so...

 i ripped it up, recovered it and

VOILA...

 a perfect little sitting area with my new shabby white bench,

paris pillows, cute signs, my most FAVORITE vintage find...

a gumball machine...

and my AWESOME...GORGEOUS

vintage luggage.  

two of the pieces were done but I had to paint one more to complete the look.

got old luggage around the house?

grab some spray paint and be prepared to go CRAZY:)

and don't ever pass them by at the fleas.

they make great storage...

ours hold Miss T's MANY  worn and tattered

POINTE SHOES.

this little nook cost me about $20 because I had everything
except the fabric, spray paint and one pillow for $7 at Joann's.
use what you have, right?
even worn out shoes:)

and last but not least, my "subway art".

i am IN LOVE with subway art!!!!!

 maybe one day i'll make my own...

there are some great tutorials out there...

but for now, i cheated and found a few at Home Goods

 and because they were at Home Goods...you KNOW the price was right!!!

love that store:)

next project...MERMAIDS!

yep...found these cuties at Tj Maxx.
i'm just deciding whether i want to embellish them with pearly vintage BUTTONS
or vintage jewels.
i'm thinking tiny JEWELS...
you know, mermaids...treasures...
we'll see!

oh gosh...one more thing i LOVE today...
this COOL frame i found in Sarasota, Fl
while shopping at St. Armand's Circle with my Mum, Sis and
my two SHABBY CHICKS.

that's it...short and SWEET today!

(well, short for me anyway:)

linking up with a few blog parties...
