I'm doing a project!!

SO you know how putting you Kid's name on the wall with those wooden letters is all the rage? Well I love it but I so don't want wooden letters on the walls in the boys room...I can just see the craziness that will come about from that.

One day while flipping though the Land of Nod catalog I came across Boys Vintage Wallpaper letters I thought this was a nifty idea. I could put them on the wall or across the top of the window! how fun!! Well I did the math and it came to about $30 BEFORE shipping...and if you know me you know I'm cheap. I just couldn't do that.

So while at Michaels craft store yesterday I was looking at scrapbook paper to do THIS project I saw over on the NESTERS site...okay okay I'll post a pic it is so worth it!

BTW I found some paper that is PERFECT for our house but MR.Erin isn't down with the idea.

Anyway back to MY project! I found some paper that was so darling and thought HUH I bet I could make those cool wall letters for the boys room! I bought the paper and I'm almost done with one of the names I'll post as soon as it is done! I hope they come out cute. So far the total is around $11 give or take a few cents.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?

With silver bells, and cockle shells, And pretty maids all in a row.

For some odd reason that is the rhyme is stuck in my head. Perhaps it is due to the wonderful vegetation we have growing out in our garden or maybe it is the nursery rhyme book I read to the boys last night?

This is our FIRST year of doing a garden. Mr.Erin wanted to try it he wanted fresh tomatoes and fresh summer squash so I said "have at it...just be sure to grow me some cukes, green beans and I HAVE to have a pumpkin" he said sure and went a bit crazy...IMHO anyway.

The garden is a small area overall but he got a tray (not sure how many plants are in a tray) of tomatoes both cherry and the big boy ones. Half a tray of peppers...which sadly all seem to be dying and we hit the Christmas tree shop for the rest of our seeds which included cukes (two different variety's) summer squash, zucchini, pumpkins and green beans.



Well the Squash is growing nice

As is the zucchini

and a little action on the green beans


and even less action on the cukes and pumkins so no pictures of those!

but my oh my are the tomatoes growing like crazy! you need salmonella free tomatoes give me a call in the next few weeks okay!!

Now that you have seen Mr. Erin's garden you MUST see my pretty flowers. See in the 3.5 years here never had flowers but not this year we had a flowers! I wanted them...granted they aren't just right but they are pretty nonetheless! Mr. Erin did pick out the flowers and I have NO clue what they are or how they needed to be planted next year I have grand plans!
