I apologize about Feature Fridays. They’re not abandoned. They’re just put on the “wait list” until I’ve gone to all parent/teacher conferences, staffing meetings, and wrestling meetings. It takes some time to put them together, and I just haven’t been able to devote the time they need. A couple of weeks?
One of my favorite reasons for writing a post is to answer a question from a blogger! Thank you, blogger! You’ve made this so easy for me! She asked about the landing at the top of my stairs (you know, the one with the sleeping bags and gorilla hand?). Here is a picture of it.
I took this picture several months ago, so it’s a little different now (ie. I actually have candles in the candle holder). Anywho, she had asked about the painting. Here’s the story. I bought it Marshalls last year in the clearance section. It looked like someone had opened up a pop bottle, and it sprayed some pop on it. I wiped it off. It was on clearance for $17.00. Score.
Oh. By the way, you see that door to the right in the picture below? That’s the guest bedroom. I’ve got big things happening in there. Big.
And lastly…I never feel like this deserves a post of its own. Poor little bugger. Ever buy these little notepads at the store? I do. They’re ugly.
How about now? Snazzy, no?
Simply cut some scrapbook paper to size, spread on some paper glue, and smooth on. Between this idea and the internet, I don’t know what has changed my life more.
By the way…took the day off of work tomorrow to go see this. No, I’m not joking. Movie fan here. It’s worth it.

So you get to have the day off AND see New Moon tomorrow? I don't think we can be friends anymore Chris, it's over.
😉
Those notebooks are sooo adorable!
Quick question – how do you make your pictures so big on blogger? I set mine to "large" but they always come out so small 🙁
Oh no… you too?? 🙂 My sister has been on my butt for seriously a YEAR to read these dang books. I refuse because I know I'll become obsessed. I want to know what's going on behind that door!!!
Love the look you gave the tablets!
Your landing looks awesome. Good score on the painting.
I hope you had a great time seeing New Moon – I am jealous! Love the landing…
XOOX

Love the painting – Can't wait to see what's going on behind the door – and the notebook pads..GENIUS! LOVE that idea!!!!
I just wanted to say that Susan's comment made me laugh out loud. I know how she is feeling though. You give us so many cute ideas and we have so little time and something has to give. I guess for Susan it was the note pads. 🙂
Cute notepads!
: )

Nice vignette there! I like your table. Big things, huh? How cute for the writing pads ~ if I could get one that lasts longer than a couple of days in my house, that would be a great idea to pretty them up.
Love those notepads – seriously. Why didn't I think of that?
Your landing looks great & can't wait to see what's behind that door.
Oh! I went to the midnight showing!
TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!
Seriously ? I've never thought of decorating those kinds of notepads. I'll have to add a few magnet strips to the back so I can stick it on my fridge. Great idea !
I love the little notebooks-so cute! I'm going to New Moon tonight too!
I love the little note pads. I have a co-worker that is a office supplies junkie and she would love that. She is a girly girl and that is right up her ally. I have a new Christmas present project.
Love the notepads! I will be making some of those soon! So cute!
Love the painting!
I have that same console table in my foyer.
Beautiful Painting!!!! I would LOVE to have a landing! One of these years…hopefully in the next year! And what a fantastic idea for the note pads!!! They would make great gifts!
I heard its a really good sequel, enjoy it! I love the notebook makeover, how simple but yet so charming 🙂 I don't have a landing, but its nice to see how beautiful your is…gives me high hopes!
What a cool teacher! Taking the day off to see Twilight! Haha!
And those note pads are adorable! What a simple way to spruce up boring office supplies!
Am dying of jealousy over here that you are seeing New Moon. I have no idea when I can get a babysitter for the twins to see this movie?!?
Also, loving the notepads!
Pretty landing, but your notepad idea rocks! It is so cute and I think it is sometimes these little things that can make a person smile, like it made me!
I am so happy to hear feature friday didn't go away!! It was a favorite!
I love the notepad idea!
Wendy
Isn't funny how a little thing can make you happy … love the paper on the notepads to make them pretty.
A little thing … but prettiness counts.
Oh man! Good thinking on the notepads! Why didn't I think of that?!?!
I totally would have skipped work today if I had to work on Fridays, to see New Moon. You have to let us know what you think. I totally loved it 🙂
Are you still wiping the drool off your face – did you like it?
Jacob=oh.my.pervy.old.woman.for.even.thinking.he's.hot!
And yes, I am paying for staying up till 3 a.m. to see the midnight showing!
WOW Can you come to my house and help me decorate??? LOL
