Well, this is what is keeping me up tonight; thoughts of a fresh pallet for my house. I love this house found on Martha's house tour. Every room feels clean and uncluttered, but it definitely doesn't feel boring. What do you think?For the love of white

Ashley's Shark Week
I think my lovely sister ( I make a lot of noise ) should make these cupcakes in honor of shark week.Small and cozy
A great house doesn't need to be big, I actually prefer a small and cozy house to a large one. www.rosschapin.com has great house plans for small houses and cottages. This house is one of the larger ones, but all of them have a great layout and charming features. I have been visiting their website daily and dreaming "small".
How to pop a wheelie
How to pop a wheelie
1. practice on a flat road, trail or grassy field
2. shift to one of your middle gears and start pedaling slowly
3. crank down hard onto one of your pedals and shift your body weigh to the back of your seat
4. pull back on the handlebars while your weight is shifted back, and watch your front wheel rise in the air. The more you lean back on your seat, the higher you'll be able to wheelie.
5. lean forward on your bike and push the handlebars down to get your front wheel back on the ground
A Sunny Welcome
The weather has been way to nice to be inside lately, so the other day I woke up and decide I was going to paint our front door. I love the color combo; pewter gray and saffron yellow (and yellow is my favorite color) so of course my front door should be yellow. At first I was a little hesitant about choosing such a vibrant color for our front door, but after I got done and stepped back to take a look at my work, a smile immediately stretched its way across my face. I feel like anyone who comes up to our house now, already gets a cheerful welcome before we even answer our door.My sister and I spent a well deserved day shopping today, and on our way to our favorite shops we realized that we both had been thinking about learning to embroider. At our first stop we came across a great book on what else but embroidery!
I haven't decided what my first project will be yet, but as soon as I get something finished I will definitely post it for you.

How could you not fall in love with this face? Norton is his name and he is the sweetest thing you will ever meet. Everybody that knows him says so!
I am pretty proud of my flower boxes this year, I was just tickled pink because early one morning I was sitting on my front porch and I over heard two old ladies out for their morning walk comment on how pretty they were. (I wanted to run out and hug them) This is the first year I chose all the plants and planted them myself (my mother-in-law has taught me well).
I also love driving up to my house and seeing my awnings. I stole them off of my mom's house (with her permission). Ever time I see them I smile, they add the charming little touch we needed on some bare windows.
I also had to post a picture of my picket fence with its banners, I was very excited this year because I actually remembered that I had them stashed away down in our basement in time for the 4th of July. (Usually it is when I am getting fall decorations out that I spot them and am heartbroken because yet another year had gone by and I didn't get a chance to use them.)
So there you have it folks these are a few of the things that make me smile, I am pretty easy to please.
