Shabby Chic Lamp Makeover

I have been looking for a little lamp for London's room for a while now and just couldn't find anything that wasn't a fortune. The other day while I was at the antique shop (I'm obsessed) I found this little beauty!!! I mean when do you find a tea pot lamp?!!!!

BEFORE


AGTER!!!

It was easy too:) I spray painted the base white, got rid of the old nasty ribbon, got some new white ribbon and gathered it with this see-through lastin, then hot glued it to the lamp shade. Then I went to HObby Lobby and found the cute little dangle things and sewed them on.

Lamp: $5
Spray Pain: $6
Ribbon: $6
Dangly Crystal Things: 5

Total:$22

LOVE IT!!!!!!

Kitty Balls & 2011 Summer Pic OVERLOAD!

Meet KITTY BALLS, that's right you heard me Kitty Balls. You may ask WHY is the kitties name Kitty Balls so I ask you to just sit and think....................got it yet? Lets just say this is a boy kitty and it's quite obvious/disgusting!!! All my kids call him Kitty Balls and we laugh every time, woops. This summer would NOT be the same if we didn't have Kitty Balls around, he gets more love (and abuse;) than any one Kitty Balls deserves. LOVE YOU KITTY BALLS:)
Bear Lake, that is just a MUST right?
Dane reaching.........I couldn't help myself, could you? I mean look at that fine specimen, SO CUTE!!!!
Bear Lake, London walking around looking so CUTE I wanted to eat her.
Poor London went to insta care two weekends in a row. 1st time to have them dig out a HUGE sliver. 2nd time to set her elbow because it popped out of socket at church. Poor girl but she was so cute. We had the same Doctor both times and he was smitten with her cuteness:)
Loving our regular Shaved Ice
We are BIG fans of shaved ices!!! So we get them WAY TO MUCH!!!
Cute mutts!
It was Angie's birthday and all she wanted to do was go DANCING!!! So............we did, lol:) My married sister, my engaged sister and myself and my slightly older mother went western swing dancing on a wednesday night. I have never laughed so hard in my life. My mom was the only one asked to dance, she was HOTT!!!! That was utile her dance partner dropped her, but still even then she was a hottie:) Love my sisters and mom, I really don't know what I would do without them!
Oh Kitty Balls, you make me smile:)
Pool TIME!!! Miss London being a little fish, she LOVES the water!
I mean really........he couldn't be any cutter!!
I would eat him up if I could!!!!
London posing again. That thing she is sitting on......... I can't wait to show you what I'm doing with them!!!!
My sweet Dane getting into everything AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, cut monkey!

Yes he is elbow deep into the jam.

Jack has been fishing quite a bit and we cook the fish and eat them:) Jack thinks he's cool and he eats the fish eyes and cheeks:) I know it sounds weird but when I told him that we used to have Chinese visitors and they ate the eyes and cheeks he thought that he must to the same:)
London does a lot of this, just being cute:)

Jack has hung out with his cousins that he thinks they are so COOL!!!! I mean this pic says a million words:) He prays for them EVER NIGHT, lol:)

Hanging out with some more FUN cousins:)
