project 365 ~ jan 19-25

monday, jan 19th

this is billy on monday morning while maggie was at school. i was able to grab a picture of him while he was not looking. he was riding maggie's old tricycle while wearing his very first hard hat that paw paw gave him. it is hard to see in this picture, but paw paw did something extra special for billy. he put a gallagher steel fabrication sticker on it so he could be just like the guys at work!

i don't know what is going on around here but it has been windy! not just windy but like crazy windy. this is the windchime that i received for mothers day about 3 years ago. i love them! it is kinda hard to tell in this picture but they are huge and they have the prettiest "chime" to them. it is so low and deep and i love them! ( lauren i giggle thinking of you as i write this) anyway, i had to tie them up right after i took this picture because i didn't want the neighbors to come over and ring my neck.

ok, i am going to be honest here. i missed a day. so this picture was taken by a friend on mine, karen, who also is taking part in project 365. she, or now that i think about it, it might have been her husband, took this picture of maggie and billy at their grandson adler's 1st birthday party last week. i just thought is was a great picture of maggie.

this is the new wall hanging in my living room above our couch. it is from uppercase living. http://uppercaseliving.com/ this stuff is so neat! are you ready for this? it is stickers that you place on walls, boards ( like i did ) or any other thing that you can think of! so COOL! the great thing about these stickers is that if you get tired of something, lets say that you put something directly on the wall, it peels right off. just like that! they have tons of scriptures, quotes and other cute stuff that you can put anywhere. if you haven't heard of this you really need to go check them out!

of of my dear friends gave me this amish friendship bread starter. have you heard of these? this one is a sweet bread and what you do is basically just mush the bag around for a couple of days and then feed it and mush it around some more. on the 10th day you can use this along with other ingredients and make bread. the really cool thing is that there is some of the starter that you save and pace it around to your friends along with the recipe. i guess that is where the friendship part comes in. i made my bread on sat while i was at my grandmothers house and she fell in love with it so i couldn't just take the bread when i left! so i left her both the loaves and i will make myself some, i guess in 9 more days.
