Fancy This Fridays 76 – InstaFriday

May 18, 2012 2 Comments

Happy Friday lovelies!!!
Time for another edition of Fancy This Fridays and while we’re at it, another edition of Insta-Friday!

It’s been HOT here in Arizona this week. Phoenix has been over 100 degrees which means somewhere in the 90s for us all week long! Hubs and I debated and debated and finally decided to purchase an above ground pool!!!

It had to be done. It’s just too hot not to. At least that’s our reasoning. haha.
So, since it was Mother’s Day weekend and my mom was here visiting she, Kayli and I went over to Wal-Mart and made the big purchase!

#photoadaymay #mom

Can I just say if you’re going to my local Wal-Mart and need to buy something large… Take a team with you.
It was an act of congress to find someone to help us get that thing off the shelf and then into my Nitro!

The next day the hubs had to work so Kayli and I set it up! We’re not ashamed of our awesome tarp holders… You know, a lawn chair, a broom, a dump truck. Hey, it worked!

We felt so hardcore getting it all set up by ourselves.

Then we just had to wait while it filled up!

So bummer alert… The NEXT day we discovered it had a leak. :( We (Kayli, I had to go to work) called customer service and we’ve got a new liner on its way! Stinks we have to wait for it, but that’s too much money to spend for it to be less than awesome!!

I was for real stressed out about it. SO much so Nate and Kayli thought I was being silly… But little things like that really get to me. Random Kassi fact of the day.

SO, what have you been up to this last week? We wanna see!

Fancy This Fridays Rules:

1. Please link directly to the project post on your blog.
Not the blog itself.
2. Please link only your OWN posts.
We prefer to see what YOU have been up to… not someone random.
3. Please grab a button and display it somewhere on your blog. On your sidebar, on your posts, on your linky party page. We aren’t picky!
4. We would LOVE if you would comment on at least one other link.
Just pop over and say “Hello, coming by from Truly Lovely”, or something more clever… You know. ;)

Bloggie Bestie – Allice of Tutu Land

Hello pretty friends!
Today we are excited to introduce you to…

 

Allice of Tutu Land!!!

 

This is her VERY FIRST guest post EVER, so please share some bloggie love with her below (she has an awesome tutorial for you dolls). Then share some love over at her place where I’m guest posting today!
____________

 

Hi Kassi- Thank you for having me over at your Truly Lovely.  I’m so excited to share my craft room update and my teacup tutorial with your followers- Enjoy!I was browsing Pinterest for some craft room ideas and found a wood teacup shelf that would be perfect in my craft room.  I happened to have one that was handed down to me from my mother and ended up in the garage last year with no plans of ever entering the house again.   I’m so excited that I found a way to give it new life and save a piece of my families treasures.

Heres what you need:
Sanding paper
Spray Paint Primer
Spray Paint in your favorite color (I used Matte)
Spray Paint Laquer
My original teacup shelf

Lay your project down on a sheet and sand
{don’t skip this part- trust me, the paint WILL bubble}

After Sanding, you will spray Primer and let it dry
{I chose quick dry Primer because I’m impatient}


 

Pretty Paint Time
{Make sure to get all the crevices and underneath the shelf since you will be looking up at it when you hang it}


 

Time to hang
{Notice all the “Stuff” on my table}

 

 

Now I’m all organized
{I put the ribbon on the shelf that I am currently using for orders and projects so it’s close by}

 

 

I now have more working room for my projects
{and I love the color- it makes me happy to work in this space}

 

 

Did you notice there was no sewing machine in the above picture?
This is why?
Ashley was feeling a little unorganized so she made herself a bed organizer to hold her Ipad, remote control and other secret items
{It’s fun that we can share our craft love}

 

 

So I know you think I look sooooo organized, right?
NOT!
Everything is somewhat organized and labeled in the cabinet but needs more help
It’s my next project

 

 

So, look around and see what you can find to save, refresh and make new again~

 

 

Thanks again for having me over Kassi and I can’t wait to visit again!
