Meet the new members of our family...

Our cute little turtles! We've had them for a couple months, but I haven't gotten around to posting about them. Rocky is the one on the left and Adrienne is the one on the right. They aren't exactly my favorite things in the world, but I love them because of how much Mike loved them. And he's awesome at taking care of them too. I don't do ANYTHING! It's great!


They are cute little babies! They have actually grown a lot! Here's a pic that kind of shows how small they are when you compare it with Mike's fingers:


And here they are in their cute little habitat. They are water turtles so they live in water, but they have to have the cute little dock that they can come up on and bask in the UVA and UVB rays.

The latest project :)

My name is Heidi, and I am addicted to cheap/cute crafts!

Ha-ha! So here's my latest project. I saw this on a blog - I can't remember which one, but I was dying to do it! My friend suggested to look at Goodwill for a cheap window shutter and I found this one at Goodwill for two bucks!!! Woohoo!

So yesterday I painted it and popped the bow on (I decided to put the bow on it so that I could kind of disguise the missing slat at the top.) and I was done! I totally love this because it's a cute decoration and a great way to organize my important papers that need to be taken care of!

"Our fun weekend"

This weekend was a complete party. This is what we did:

And when I say "we" I mean Mike. He did six of them - 3 pages front and back - for a final he has today. It literally took him ALL weekend! And he wouldn't let me help because he was afraid his professor would notice the random changes in handwriting, even though my handwriting sadly looks more boy than girl. I feel so bad for his poor back and hands! I think he actually has some small blisters starting on the tips of his fingers. Yuck! Hopefully he will do well on his test and this dreary weekend will have paid off!

My Cheap-o Fall Decor

So last week I was doing an awesome job of procrastinating studying for a test and decided to find a fall craft that I could do with just the things I had in my house. I found this. I thought it was a pretty cute idea. I didn't have any ribbon, so I improvised and I still really like how mine turned out. I also used rolled up paper for the stems and the big one looked really empty so I made a small one and put it inside of the big one. I had a lot of fun making them! And I definitely enjoyed procrastinating. :)
