So, here is the fun part! I decided to have an online party just for my OhhBaby Designs readers! (And their friends). The best part is, one of you will get all of the hostess benefits from the party! (<a href="http://www.mythirtyone.com/content/hostess.aspx">You can view them here</a>) This includes lots of FREE stuff! :) Here is how to get your name in the hat for the benefits!<br />
<br />
1. View the catalog (<a href="http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/catalog#/1">HERE</a>) and find some fun things that you want. There is a special where for every $31 that you spend, you can get the All-In-One Organizer for $5 <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEishrVDMZ3Hg_eVs4pCbvZQj9hixRynwwFOVaogCU_CrvJjYV_If6nbMcFaunreB15kgU9ZGkuQ6CMU6L_MqdIm8p7RNZVfPi0UAzX-K9USCFzk2II2dFSE-PFXww_ni23I37Q0Cpdeyza3/s1600/SU12_Utility_19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" qba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEishrVDMZ3Hg_eVs4pCbvZQj9hixRynwwFOVaogCU_CrvJjYV_If6nbMcFaunreB15kgU9ZGkuQ6CMU6L_MqdIm8p7RNZVfPi0UAzX-K9USCFzk2II2dFSE-PFXww_ni23I37Q0Cpdeyza3/s200/SU12_Utility_19.jpg" width="198" /></a></div>
2. Shop the party online (<a href="http://www.mythirtyone.com/shop/eventhome.aspx?eventId=E1807735&from=MYEVENTS">HERE</a>)<br />
3. Spend at least $31 and you will be automatically entered. Please provide your email address when ordering so that I can contact you. (it wouldn't hurt to leave it as a comment on here too!)<br />
4. If you want more than one entry, share this page with all of your friends! If anyone that you share with orders at least $10 worth, you will get another entry. All you need to do is comment on here with their names.<br />
5. If you book a party (it can just be online if you are out of the area), you will get a special gift from me! <br />
<br />
***I will be closing the Party and choosing the hostess on May 30th!***<br />
<br />
Also, if you are not in the area, you will probably want to have your products direct shipped to you. It is much less expensive than shipping it to me first and will arrive much faster!<br />
<br />
With Father's Day coming up, I would highly encourage you to check out the men's products! The Textured twill fabric is a hit, as are the men's wallets! Also there are some excellent summer solutions as well! <br />
<br />
Also, if any of you are interested in starting your own business, whatever the reason, I would LOVE to talk with you about the opportunity! Just let me know :)<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you have any questions!<br />

I have been giving a lot of time and energy to my new business venture (post on that coming soon) and trying to spend as much time as possible with my sweet Grandaddy. </span><span id="goog_1724783761"> </span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_1724783761">He has been fighting the battle with lung cancer since October, and 3ish weeks ago, we were given the news that it had spread to his liver. Those next weeks were filled with a lot of love and round the clock care for him, and then Friday morning he went home to be with Jesus and with my grandmother, who he lost when my mom was eleven. Here is a photo of us with him on our wedding day, almost exactly 2 years ago (the 22nd was our Anniversary).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span id="goog_1724783761">We all knew where he was going when he passed, but it had still been so hard to let him go. His final night here on the earth, my sister and sister-in-law sat by his bed singing him his favorite hymns. Also, for Christmas 2010, I made him a jar of memories that I collected from all of the members of our family. I wrote them each on a piece of paper and put them in a ball jar so that he could pull out one at a time and read them. He loved that jar. My mom and her sister (and other family members that were there) pulled those out and read each one to him, one by one. They said that he smiled as they shared precious memories with him. </span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_1724783761">He had a beautiful life. He fell in love with my grandmother and had 6 children with her. He served our country both in the Navy and the Air Force. He lost my grandmother to cancer when his children were very young, and met Jeanette, the grandmother that I have known in my life (in the photo above). He had so many grandchildren that I lost count of us. And he lived for the Lord, the most important legacy that we can leave. </span><br />
<span id="goog_1724783761"><br /></span><br />
<span id="goog_1724783761">I remember when I was little, he used to bring us fresh vegetables and I would help him clean and prepare them. He loved to garden. I also remember his smile and his laugh and how he always made me so happy. I remember the silly way that he used to ring the doorbell 4 million times when he came. It was only him that did that. There are so many things that I remember that I will not write here, or else this post would go on forever. But the best memory that I have, the one that I will hold on to forever, was from last Sunday. It was before he had progressed too far that he was not coherent. I had been to his house visiting with him and was leaving to go to the grocery store. I leaned over to kiss him, he kissed me and then looked in my eyes and said "I love you. SO much." It was the last coherent sentence that I ever heard from him, and I will treasure it in my heart always.</span><br />
<span id="goog_1724783761"><br /></span><span id="goog_1724783762"></span><br />
<span id="goog_1724783761">My uncle Darryl was supposed to be baptized on May 20th. My grandfather passed away on May 18th. It was very important for him to know that his children would all meet him in heaven someday and he really wanted to be there. So as a family, we decided to baptize my uncle at his funeral, as a way to honor him. It was such a beautiful thing. </span><br />
<span id="goog_1724783761"><br /></span><span id="goog_1724783762"></span><br />
<span id="goog_1724783761">Now I ask that you would pray for peace and comfort for my family. Especially my mom and her siblings. Now that the hustle and bustle of the funeral has passed, they have to face taking care of all of his earthly matters, which as any of you that have lost someone know, is very hard to do while you are grieving. I leave you with this beautiful quote from a story that my sweet, sweet Grandaddy wrote:</span><br />
<br />
<b>"A better life is not necessarily how much money you have, or how big
the house is where you live, how fancy your car is, or even your
friends, but how you present yourself to others, how compassionate you
are, and how thankful you are."-Harold A. Hudson</b><br />

I see beauty and potential in things that most people would walk right by or throw away. Upcycling is a love of mine, so I also have plenty of items in my shop that I've rescued and made beautiful again! Verucas Vintage Treasures has a little bit of everything vintage. Collectible items, handbags, and lots of unique, vintage home decor. I love the Shabby Chic style of decor, and have an entire category dedicated to it in my shop. Temporarily, I also feature my handmade items. Lots of framed mixed media, mini albums, and brag books."</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Here are a few of my favorite things in her shop right now!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><img alt="Super Shabby Repurposed Antique Door - Wall hanging Coat Rack" height="226" src="http://img1.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.325394549.jpg" width="400" /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/96660486/super-shabby-repurposed-antique-door">Super Shabby Repurposed Antique Door - Wall hanging Coat Rack</a></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><img alt="Vintage Upcycled Syroco Wall Scones - Midnight Chic" height="300" src="http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.331046076.jpg" width="400" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I stumbled across this ADORABLE Etsy shop a couple of weeks ago and had to tell you guys about it! The shop is called “</span><a href="http://www.%20dgordon.etsy.com/"><span style="font-family: inherit;">dgordon</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">” (direct link: www. dgordon.etsy.com) and is a lovely collaboration between Deb and her father!

I totally forgot I did have one other Easter project that I did on Saturday to share with you! In addition to the Waffles, I decided to make deviled eggs. But I did not want to make just any deviled eggs, I wanted to make them festive! Here is a little tutorial for ya!<br />
<br />
First, get a glass for every color of egg that you want. Fill the glass about half full of water, add a little (I mean little bit) of white vinegar which is optional, and a few drops of food coloring. <br />

<br />
I took the weekend off from blogging, etc. to enjoy celebrating Christ and relaxing with my family. (by relaxing, I mean spring cleaning all day Saturday, but relaxing for Sunday and Monday!) We had a little get together at our house for Easter Brunch on Sunday. I was a horrible blogger and did not take many pictures (like I said, my mind was not on blogging) but I wanted to share the few that I did take with you!<br />
<br />
For centerpieces, I made these cute little Easter trees! I got those teal pails from the Target dollar bin. You will see those again this summer! And the eggs and Easter grass there too. Then I just cut dogwood branches from our yard. They are held in place in the buckets with rocks and I put a little water in there too.<br />

We had to tape the cloths to the tables because Easter decided to be really windy! And since we don't have a large dining area inside we had scrubbed down and set up on the carport. The day turned out to be perfect, despite the wind.<br />

I did get a picture of our cute little waffle irons pre-action! I made waffle batter from scratch and we had our and my parents waffle iron cranking out fresh waffles! I can't stand frozen waffles, but give me a warm fresh waffle any day!<br />

I hope that your Easter was blessed, that you celebrated the true reason and had some fun with the others as well. (I love the Easter egg and Easter bunny traditions myself!) <br />

Since most of us are working on eating healthier, I wanted something bite-sized for dessert so <strike>that I</strike> that we would not eat 1,000 calories worth of dessert. So I decided what better bite-sized dessert is there than cake balls!<br />
<br />
On Saturday night I whipped up a batch (using the crubmled cake-icing method for the inside), dipped them in fun springy green white chocolate, and covered them in Easter Sprinkles!<br />

Well, a week later they were starting to get a bit crispy. So I threw out the old, and set about finding new blooms...still from our yard!<br />
<br />
I started with some beautiful dogwood branches in the vase on the entryway table. They had just bloomed and still look fresh!<br />

I stole flowers from the outside! We planted parrot tulips a couple of years ago and they just came up about 2 weeks ago. I love the way that they dress up the outside of the house, but I figured three for the mantle was no biggie :)<br />

Michael and I have decided both for the sake of our dietary changes and mainly for the sake of finances, we are going to take a fast from eating out (lunch, dinner, dessert, etc.) for the entire month of April. We figure we spend $300-400 a month on that junk and its something that we can live without for a month to help pay off other things. I am also hoping that cooking at home a lot more will give my diet another kick-start!<br />
<br />
So, my local friends/family, if you invite us out and we politely decline, know that we love you and have a conviction and a reason for turning you down. We are totally okay with having people over or eating in at other people's houses, just trying to cut the money for a bit! :)<br />

I for once have quite a few little projects that I need to get posted on here! This one, I could not WAIT to show you guys! <br />
<br />
We celebrated my sweet momma's birthday on Friday. I was commissioned to make the cake. I have this bad habit of putting lots of effort into cakes that I am being paid for, but then slacking when I make them for the ones that I love. So I decided to make this one a labor of love and part of our gift to her. She has always loved when I did basketweave piping on cakes, but it has been years since I have done it! So when I was planning her cake, I knew I wanted to incorporate that at least on part of it.<br />

I settled on hydrangeas because they are one of the prettiest spring plants in my opinion!<br />

I decided to mix the blue in for some contrast.<br />

That is actually what inspired the hydrangeas. I could not be more pleased with the way that it turned out!<br />

Nope! As I mentioned on here oh...forever ago (btw I had a huge relapse since then), and then again right after my hospital scare, I have been on a journey to make healthy lifestyle changes and get in shape. I really committed to this back in mid-January and have lost 15lbs so far, just working out 4 days a week and eating healthy.<br />
<br />
Probably 80% of the problem for me when I am trying to get in shape is that I get really bored with doing the same workout day in and day out. Also my body adjusts to them and they stop working. So this time I have been constantly looking for new ways to work out.<br />
<br />
Recently my husband got into kettlebell fitness and I can see that he is having great results. I have wanted to start using them too, because I know they are great, but his is way over my weight limit. So today I was in WalMart and came across one just my size for $15! I couldn't walk away. I figure that he can teach me the moves that he does and help me out with it. Only problem was that I wanted to try it tonight and he had to work! So I started scouring the web and found this workout: <br />
<a href="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/around-the-body-pass?workout=21113">http://www.womenshealthmag.com/around-the-body-pass?workout=21113</a><br />
<br />
It actually is not super hard. I have been using an 8 lbs kettlebell. Most of the movements are pretty easy, like this one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia3uHRZSKvvM2KjCtja1HY2_TC4g-bchZzzLvkB8XMy5Ks8bVtkNyxEfA1RF7qUw-RBuYn_3dF2nHfSA2iD4E94de6TSUXbG0_L-86eWo5T6T1mAtTJTTZrmOLMAkiRhuV-985Q8qhCejQ/s1600/Aroundthebody.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia3uHRZSKvvM2KjCtja1HY2_TC4g-bchZzzLvkB8XMy5Ks8bVtkNyxEfA1RF7qUw-RBuYn_3dF2nHfSA2iD4E94de6TSUXbG0_L-86eWo5T6T1mAtTJTTZrmOLMAkiRhuV-985Q8qhCejQ/s1600/Aroundthebody.bmp" /></a></div>However, after doing several reps you start to feel it. I also really love the swings, because I can feel them in my core.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7aEjHtncQoC3F6U9vYreuw_gOBHbaW6y72iE2KkLvq9xNRON6Dd1Oy-dABBPW8wEjneMTGmiqxVqXGa90OD8DZ1e8GR3aZhK1zqFdPWMoMWEtkiqPfb81GgP-cERKom_yxm3panQl3_HM/s1600/1009-swing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7aEjHtncQoC3F6U9vYreuw_gOBHbaW6y72iE2KkLvq9xNRON6Dd1Oy-dABBPW8wEjneMTGmiqxVqXGa90OD8DZ1e8GR3aZhK1zqFdPWMoMWEtkiqPfb81GgP-cERKom_yxm3panQl3_HM/s1600/1009-swing.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I did the full workout in 2 circuits, waited an hour and half (a bad storm hit and I decided to chill and wait it out...tornado warnings, etc) and then 2 more full circuits when the storm was done. It was a great workout! I know I will be feeling it in the morning! Anyone looking to start a workout or to diversify the one that they are doing, I would HIGHLY recommend getting a kettlebell! <br />
<br />
I will let you know how trying to do these with my husband goes!<br />

The other day I decided that I had had enough of our winter mantle, so I decided to switch all of that chilly decor out for some spring! I was wanting to do it without spending anything, so I went outside and cut some blooms and branches to use in the livingroom.<br />
<br />
For the entryway, I placed some branches in my <a href="http://ohhbabydesigns.blogspot.com/2011/12/diy-thursday-quatrefoil-vase.html">quatrefoil vase</a> and then filled my cloche with jute wrapped eggs that I made last year and some moss balls. <br />

I know they will wilt soon, but I plan to juse keep replacing them with other branches. I am rebelling against the concept of buying fake ones!<br />

It turned out so cute!<br />

It has been lovely. After being sick, I was able to finish my most recent class and take a week of "Spring Break" from school as well, before my next class starts. I have still had to work, but things have been much more laid back outside of that.<br />
<br />
That being said, I am FINALLY getting aroung to sharing with you guys the brown sugar scrub that I made for my sister-in-law's birthday gift basket that I shared <a href="http://ohhbabydesigns.blogspot.com/2012/03/home-made-gift-basket.html">in this post</a>. <br />
<br />
To make the scrub, I don't remember the exact amounts that I used becaues I ended up doctoring it, but I believe I started with two cups of brown sugar, 1/8th cup of olive oil and 3 tbsps of honey. Then I may have added the ingredients without measuring to doctor it into what felt like a normal body scrub consistency. I forgot to take photos of this part! So sorry!<br />
<br />
Next, I poured my gloopy mixture into a simple mason jar.<br />

To finish it off, I tied a cute little tag around it with some twine. I really could not be happier with the way that it turned out!<br />

I really want to make a batch for myself, I just haven't gotten around to it just yet. Also, I finally finished that coffee table makeover, I just have not taken pictures of it yet! I promise to try to do so this week!<br />
<br />
I hope you all are loving the springlike weather! I cannot WAIT to get our spring decor out. I loved what we had for winter, but I am over it! :) Hopefully I will get to that sometime this week too!<a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/306/1A0070A1B87890A360C4CDD5A183C17E.png" style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px;" /></a>Katie @ OhhBabyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04716197016845106073noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842195354830032517.post-11770677138193163052012-03-15T10:42:00.001-07:002012-03-22T12:02:31.975-07:00DIY Thursday: Lucky Mirror<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px;">Its DIY Thursday!</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://stencilwords.com/blog/2012/03/15/diy-thursday-lucky-mirror/"><img border="0" height="287" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVTlDusUmbgR75R9lJwRErfKYqznmAMN5YWHXlL2EBOoh49YkicvJrDqmRS7R-c353Hxt8evJ6kw0P_J7leYiEfjzKUR9H_dxrCPVb_0_lE5bLyn_1vlNLr-vsAAICvPUprkrhBctT5ADu/s400/DIYTHURSDAY-LOGO.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">Today's project shows how I used EAD Designs Vinyl to create a fun St. Patty's day decoration!
