Halloween?

So unlike the rest of America (at least most of my friends!) I had a very low key and un-Halloween weekend.  I have had a super productive weekend though!  Thursday night I crossed off one of the items from my 101 in 1001 list.  We bought new couches!  I was hoping to wait and purchase one piece at a time, since the idea of putting down $2,300 all at once freaks me out.  With the couches we currently have killing my husbands back and not doing me any favors, we decided to go for it and tell our parents for Christmas get us giftcards for places we buy our groceries at : ) We got the three and two seater!

So Stephanie and I both decided to officially start our lists November 1 but we both have actually already crossed things out ... I know I know we're such overachievers.   The entire weekend has been full of getting things accomplished for me.  Ran a bunch of errands, worked on finalizing some Pampered Chef bookings (if anyone is interested in a catalog show I'll be throwing in something special for you : )  and today we're cleaning and being all sorts of productive.  

I finished up the Pinterest DIY project for a Christmas present this weekend too!  It ended up being super easy.  The hardest part was figuring out how to keep it from sticking to the newspaper while drying.  So I ended up drying them on top of all the little paint bottles!  Here is the original, after I painted the colors and the very end result.

I think I might have to start up my 1 DIY thing each month for a year since I'm off to such a good start already!  If anyone has a good recommendations send them my way or let me know which off my "I Can Do It Myself" board I should do.
