Staff fun day for work at the Dallas Arboretum

A little over a week ago my employer had a staff fun day at the Dallas Arboretum.  I had never been.  It was a beautiful day to look at beautiful flowers.  I thought of my sister all day as she has such a green thumb.  I truly wish I could paint mine green and it actually work as well as hers does.  I have some luck but certainly not the skilll she has.

Anyway - here's some pictures for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy!

Our family - semi current photo

As I was looking through photos for my black and white addiction post I ran across a collage that I put together on my iphone of our family.  I like to think of this as "Me & My 3 Guys".  I love them all.  God has blessed me richly indeed!!!  (The photos aren't extremely old but they are not from within the last month either.  I'd say they are anywhere from 3 to 5 months old.)

Black and White addiction

I admit it - I have an addiction - a black and white addiction.  I LOVE decorating with black and white then throwing in a pop of color ... usually red or burgandy.  My blog layout could be one hint, huh?  If you take a peek at some of my other black and white projects and/or pictures it's quite evident.

I sanded some old cherry wood stools, painted them black then decopauged fabric on top.  A little polyurethane to finish them off and "BAM" new black and white stools!  :-)

I started making jewelry again after a long break (just like from blogging) and of course made a black and white bracelet.  :-)

Black and white ribbon on my Christmas tree - yep!  :-)

This is my bed - :-) 

My place settings at Christmas. :-)

My husband and I - wearing black and white.  :-)
