Ashton moves in the dorm!

I know it's January 2010, but I am going to get my blog caught up to date for my most loyal blog follower! Michele, this is for you!!
It's August and Ashton just moved into the dorm at MSU....Move in day was Fun, Hectic, and oh so SAD! The first picture is of Ashton with her roommate Shelby Joe.

Booth Redo

I redid my booth today and took in lots of new stuff! It took me almost 4 hours to pull it all out and rearrange the new stuff in....but I think it looks fabulous!

Spark and Booth Stuff!

I have been in Salt Lake City, Utah for four days and my booth is running really low, so today I worked in the garage all day getting some things ready to take tomorrow. This time I actually took some before pictures, I will take some after pictures tomorrow after I redo my booth! I had a great time at "Spark" with Sister, we met a lot of great people that we now call friends and I came home with my head full of great ideas and a lot of projects to finish! The weather was absolutely fabulous, it's a beautiful city! I will add more on Spark in my next update! I took tons of great pictures!

My Booth

I know the last post was an update of July and today is October 1st. But all I have today is a few pictures of my booth. Things have really slowed down at the Antique Mall of the South, so get yourselves out there and shop! Remember ReDo VooDoo!

July

July 4th weekend Mi Mi and Paw Paw met us in Oxford to check on the progress of Austin's house. We walked around the square, ate lunch and enjoyed Ashton's 4th of July cake.

The next weekend we spent in Port Gibson just relaxing before Ashton's wisdom teeth removal on Monday. Ashton and I cooked a yummy dinner...including cookies! We accidentally put SALT instead of sugar on the peanut butter ones...ha-ha. What a surprise that was when I bit into it!


For my birthday, Ashton made me a beautiful cake and Mark cooked. Mom and Tom joined us for dinner.

Mark and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary at an Animal Rescue fund raising party. We had a great time and did not come home with ANOTHER rescue dog!! Thank Goodness!! The next weekend Austin closed on his house in Oxford. It was so exciting!
After we spent a little while at the house we all loaded up and headed to Jasper, Al for the weekend. Kudzu celebrated his first birthday with presents, home made treats and happies for Lulu and Beau!




Ashton and I went to Oxford to help Austin move into his new house the next week. We brought a truck load from home and he and Ellen brought two truck loads from Starkville. We had the best time setting stuff up and hanging pictures...His house is wonderful!

I know, this seems like more than one month, but I promise we are still in July!

That weekend we celebrated Mark's birthday in Port Gibson. Ashton made Mark a beautiful cake and a party hat!

We had a big night with cake, presents, whiskey, champagne, wine and probably a beer or two!

Believe it or not, we woke up the next morning and painted the dining room PINK! I've been trying to pick out the perfect shade of pink for months and months and felt like I finally had it right and everybody was there! Austin and Mark also cleaned out the yuck that had been building up behind the fireplace for many many years. What a mess that was!





We still have to finish some of the trim and paint the ceiling a pale pale blue, but it looked AWESOME! It feels so good to have finally accomplished something!

This last picture is for the one person who leaves me comments .... you know who you are! These were georgeous spider lilys ( or Nakked Ladies) the same color pink as the walls. They were blooming everywhere in Port Gibson.

This was the longest most difficult post I have ever done, please leave me comments and let me know who's reading my blog. I would love to hear from you!
