good crumbs
Monday, August 24, 2009 at 10:45AM 
and all that was left… a pile of crust!
doesn’t it feel that way sometimes!
after the whirlwind of school mornings!
kids up…
breakfast eaten…
teeth brushed…
lunches made…
kids dressed…
hair fixed…
you KNOW… you get the point…
rush out the door…
to get to school… late (we were tardy today… slip & all… oops)…
to get back home and face the crumbs!
good crumbs though… always find myself wondering how she’s doing
as i clean up the leftovers of the morning!
already missing her!
i think we’re still finding our way in getting with the swing of things…
this back to school thing!
all i know… the house sure is quiet with just one little chickadee around!
so with the hubby traveling four nights a week…
it has been a bit challenging getting all “moved in”… or settled… i should say.
you know those TWO person jobs… sure seems to be lots of THOSE…
also seems as though lately there is just NOT enough time to get it all done.
i am starting to understand why they say moving is such a major “life stress”!
reallllly!
there is just SO much to do…
between ordering window coverings… getting the landscaping rolling…
getting the fence installed… ordering furniture… on & on…
it FEELS really slow going!
we DID finally get the extra shelving in our closet…
shoes and such are finally OFF the floor!
can you see the smile on my face! :)
little by little we’re getting there!
last week… this little chickadee & i ran by a home improvement store…
for a good ‘ol door!
found a REALLY heavy solid core door in their remnant area!
got out the paints…
painted… sanded… distressed… popped on some vintage hardware…
to make a headboard!
i think she turned out pretty good!
JUST the pop of green AND fun i wanted!
today… loads to tackle… we have our first house guests coming to visit!
there is that smile on my face again! :)
to mOndAy!
the start of a wonderful thing… i feel OODLES of GOOD surfacing this week…
don’t you?

What a fabulous idea! This headboard looks absolutely perfect and so stylish against the zebra print. You did good!
hello carrissa!
i've been keeping up w your move... just not commenting as much. i love the way you -made the headboard, but -also, the way you presented it here! i thought you were re-doing a door for a doorway. too cute. and i lovelovelove the black & white against the green.. always been a favorite color combo of mine.
your energy is impressive! :)
oh that is just perfect! i would never in a million years have thought to do that!
love it.
and guess what fabric i have that just came in the mail? black zebra.
so funny.
and guess what color of paint i have sitting and waiting for a project? green apple.
we think alike...states apart.
how fun to have guests! i hope you have a BLAST!!!
i just would love an entire tour of this house when you get all finished....pretty please.
Oh how cute!! I miss seeing you do these projects in person. It always motivated me. Hope all is well. :)
oh come on. that door is awesome. how stink'n cute is that!
i love it.
:O)
i love the door. gonna do it myself. how did you hang it on the wall? love the colors and the touch of zebra. you have quite the knack. impressed.
Hi Carrissa, I found you from a friend of a friend. Originally I went to your blog to look at your cute cupcake aprons and decided to browse. I'm very impressed by your talents: sewing, painting, decorating - which brings me to my point I love your door headboard. You said you painted, sanded, distressed...what is the distressing process. I can paint and sand but I don't know how you get that vintage look with the darker areas. Can you give me some tips?
Thanks,
Kelley
