Last Sunday we had a nice St. Patty's day birthday dinner for my mother in law. I have never thrown her a St. Patty's day themed birthday before but if you lucky enough to be born on St. Patty's day then I think you should have a green themed dinner at least once.
These photos are not the best, they are from my phone
We just bought a Walmart cake and I asked them if they could write on it for me. A 19 year old boy ended up writing on it, not the cursive I was imagining. It did save me from buying a tube of icing and doing it myself though.
I found cute burlap chevron ribbon at Hobby Lobby and made some quick napkin rings by sewing the ends together and then reversing it.
Hmmm I told myself I would write at least one new post a week and I noticed it has almost been 1 month from my last post. Oh well, I will try to be better this month. Happy St. Patrick's day everyone and Happy Birthday to my favorite mother in law! We have just finished up a yummy steak dinner for her birthday and before I let myself go to a sleepy place I thought I would show you our updated TV cabinet. This cabinet was actually a china cabinet that my parents inherited from my grandmother. When they moved they did not have a place for it so we said we would list it on Craigslist for them. It was listed for a few weeks with little interest and then in the shower or maybe a dream I thought Ah Ha! I just know the place for that cabinet, our house! I passed it by my hubby and he said go for it so here are the before and after pics.

After, freshly painted without a hutch
The pulls and knobs are from Hobby Lobby
I don't have a name for the color because I just mixed the blue that I painted the church pew with and the green from our kitchen walls.
I will post pictures of our St. Patty's Day birthday celebration this week! I promise ;), and by promise I mean I'll try!
Also for fun watch this commercial (after you watch this new girl clip), it made me cry....literally I cried. I'm a crier, not sure why but I probably cry daily at school for no reason. A lot of things tug at my heart strings here are just a few: tiny cartoon foxes in children's books, Martin Luther Kings life story, children helping children, it's anything really. Luckily I was just watching TV with Katie and she is used to me acting like this......
in fact Katie also cries at simple things too, we were destine to be friends!
