Can't paint your walls?...No problem!

So here it is ....my wall decor that is really inexpensive and easily removeable when i move. This is the best I can do for not painting any walls....I really dislike white walls.

Cost: 1.49

Time: About 30 min.

Result: Better then I thought

Materials: Choice of fabric, spray starch for ironing, maybe a paper towel for cleaning up a bit.

So this is what I did. I picked out some colors at walmart and got 1/3 yard of fabric in two colors. I cut them into little squares to over lap them as you have seen above. You spray the wall area with some starch then position your square. Spray more starch on top and make sure you get most of the bubbles out. Leave it to dry and it will stay.

Ryan was such a big help. We did this together so I could not take the credit for all of it. It was his idea to put up the smaller strips of rectangles. He is very creative.

To remove the fabric simply peel it off and eurika!

Ready Made

This is a fun little magazine that I have been introduced by my good friend here at work. This is such a fun Suzi home maker do it all. The site is below and I have listed some of the things that I have read and found it to be really fun and useful. I must say I will def pick up some of these ideas. Have fun!

IN THE CLEAR-Buff a thin layer of shaving cream onto the bathroom mirror to prevent it from steaming up while you bathe. The glass won't look any different, but it will stay fog-free.

STOCKING STUFFER-Make use of orphaned socks taking up space in your drawer by slipping them over fragile holiday ornaments to keep the decorations intact until next year.

TRUE BOUNCE-Avoid the nasty toxins in fabric softeners (and save a few bucks) by throwing three tennis balls into the dryer with a load of wash. The balls create air pockets that help clothes dry faster and feel fluffier.

I really wish I have a house to play with...apartments stink.

Ryan got a new job!

Ok, so i totally should have posted this a long time ago, but Ryan is now working for Honda at Superstition Springs. So far he likes it and it is def nice to have him working during the day and come home to sleep at night.

We know that at this economy it is hard to sell anything, but Honda have made some changes so that their current employees can still make profit as they did before. Wish Ryan luck and come see him if you need help finding a car.

The Most Fab Weekend EVER!!!

I dont even know where to start.....I guess it could start with right after work Friday. From after work (3:00) till about 6:00 was the worst ever. We were meeting up with this lady at the bank at 3 so she can buy our car (Pontiac) and she keeps on pushing the time back. Granted she was trying really hard to be there, but just sitting at the bank for 3 hours WAITING was not what I all fun. Long story short, we sold the car and it was so immediate a feeling of relief it was amazing.

Now the parts after is the best part. Later that night Ry and I went to First Friday. If you have never heard of First Friday it is the first Friday of every month they have an art walk held in Phoenix with a bunch of local artist having their art work on the street, in a booth, or gallery. It is so much fun!!! there were music performences and art work like paintings, crafts, WEIRD crafts, food, sculptures, glass work....so many things. Here is some pics...the Ghost Busters were awesome, they totally look real!

Some of the displays are held in homes which are really cool.
On Saturday morning My mother had invited Ryan and I with some ladies in her ward to go to the Chinese New Year Festival. It was held at the Chinese Cultral Center on 44th st. It was so much fun!!!! We had some yummy authentic Chinese food (it is good to have mommy around cuz she knows everything, i love my mom) and there was performences of Chinese Culture and lots of little booths of things you can buy. Ryan and I got a cool little umbrella that is all Chinese like.
The building theres were really cool so we took some pictures.

Ryan was trying to be such a big nerd with this fun little farmer hat. We were there from 10am till bout 3pm. It was a blast!



After some Cultral shock of the day we went to Ry's families house to rest. We dropped off Freedom there so Ry and I can go to dinner at RA. We planned on going Friday night before the art walk, but dealing with the car took longer then we thought. Sushi was AMAZING!!! everything was so tasty, it was better then all the other times that we went.

After Sushi we went to Jillyn (Day)Larson's birthday party. I cannot believe I have not seen Jillyn since high school! She looked really good and had the cutest little puppies. Happy Birthday Jillyn. After the party we went back to the Biggs home to watch movie with the fam....it was a long but awesome day being out.

Our fantastic weekend don't end there....we still have Sunday! My favorit day of the week. We went to church, got home tought and got invited to dinner by one of the families in our ward. It was such a nice relaxing Sunday. To top it all off we had a great fireside for newly wed couples that night and it was so great they had so many good advice for the wifes and for the husbands. I already love Ryan a lot, but I love him so much more after that with some newly found thoughts. Ryan is amazing and a great husband, I love him so much and it is so fun to have him all weekend with me. This is the first weekend we have had since we got married. I could not ask for a better weekend!
