DIY Chalk Painted Chargers Featured at {Hi Sugarplum}

Cassie at Hi Sugarplum has a great series each month called "About an Hour" where bloggers link up projects that can be completed in about an hour. I have really enjoyed this series and have many hours of DIY ideas in the back of my mind just from looking through all of these fabulous projects.

This week Cassie featured a few of her favorites which also included my DIY Chalk Painted Chargers.

Check out the past About an Hour Projects here, here and here. And...be sure to stop by Cassie's amazing blog and say hello!

Thanks Cassie for the feature! I am honored!

Oh Summer...Where have you gone??

I find that as I get older, each year gets faster and faster...how about you? I really try to take time to slow life down, but it just doesn't seem to get any slower. Can you believe that we are already headed into the first full week of August? Seriously...where does the summer go?

I'm Back!...Did you miss me?

It has been over 3 weeks since I posted on this little ole blog of mine. I sure missed all of you and am glad to be back!

I have literally been all over the world.....

We took a 2 week vacation to Europe with my in laws. It was pretty darn amazing! Here are just a few places that we visited:

Listened to Big Ben

Said Hello to William & Kate! 

Viewed Westminster's Beauty

Took a Canal Cruise in Amsterdam

Drank some Beer in Germany

Took a cable car down the Swiss Alps

Took in the view of the Eiffel Tower

Hopefully More posts and pics to come of my finds in Europe!

We were back for one day, still recovering from jet-leg, when I got a phone call at 4am saying that my sister-in law was in the hospital about ready to have her second baby. That meant that I had to go and help out with my 2 year old nephew.

Caiden and I had a blast playing games, eating ice cream and even had a dinner and movie night!

We also welcomed Alexis Joy to our family! We love her to pieces!

So that is where I have been. I am pumped to be back with all of you and show you some project that will be going on around here over the next few weeks.
I have also reached over 100 followers....so that means a giveaway will be coming up in the next week. So stay tuned!!

Thanks for being some fabulous readers! Here is to a wonderful Monday!
