Creating a 2010 journal

I'm thinking if a create a 2010 journal,

It would help me keep on track and

complete my goals. Ohhhh, how I

hope it works. Stay tuned....

I've gathered a few things...

Pretty things...

 girly things...

YUMMO!!!

This is SO good! It’s called Chicken Acapulco…


and it is *to die for*We had it at this restaurant:


http://www.gristmillrestaurant.com/

 I went with a fellow designer when

I still was doing custom decorating in Austin, Texas.

After lunch we went down where they filmed the movie

“Michael” with John Travolta. Then we strolled through

All the shops and Antique stores. I wish I had taken

Pictures but this was WAY before blogville at least

For me. This was about 10 years ago. I no longer

do Interior design. I started out designing showroom

Floors, then went into Interior Design. I settled for

The custom side of designing. I loved doing window

Treatments and custom bedding. It was so MUCH easier.

It’s not like on HGTV where you have all these people

Walking behind you carrying everything in for you.

I had to actually carry samples in the house all by myself

In HEELS! That’s why I settled on window treatments.

LOL. I now work out of my home and love it. I always

Worked out of my home but was always in my car

Running to appointments, so working out of my home

Is nice. However, I wish I was retired! HEEHEE

Here is my made of version of the chicken Acapulco:



Boneless chicken breast

Rotel or salsa

Sour Cream

Cilantro

Salt, pepper, cumin, and if you like spicy, sprinkle

Some chili powder on it as well.

Cheese.



Sprinkle spices on chicken, add rotel, and cilantro.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Add the sour cream and

Cheese and wallah…A yummo dinner!

Happy New Year 2010

Adding a signature to your blog post

I always wondered how people were putting a signature at
the end of their post. I was playing in blog land reading
all the wonderful blogs out there. I came across this blog:

Getting ready for the NEW YEAR!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

The carpet is in...Let the decorating begin!

WAITING....

I've decided to move my studio to the formal dining room. It's been a mess!
I've also had plumbers in and out of my master bath for weeks now, so I am
so far behind! I haven't a lick of Christmas decor up or anything! I have how
ever painted my antique trunk (black). I'm waiting for my carpet to be installed
before I take pics. They are installing it a day early...WOOT WOOT! I'm so
stoked! They were to install it Thursday morning but called today and said
they could install tomorrow afternoon! I have no idea where I'm going to put
my buffet or anything...I'm a hot mess, I tell ya! I hope to be up and bloging
up a storm for the New Year! I have so many things I want to show you. I'm
great with decorating on a budget. I've found so many creative bloggers out there.
I'm excited about getting to play in blog land in my new studio with a fireplace!
The lighting is so much better in that room, so I can't wait to get it all set up.

Antique Trunk

I'm not sure if I should paint this black or burgundy?
I bought it for ten dollars at an estate sale.

Isn't this cute? I will have it

up on etsy, when I can figure

out how to make my picture

smaller (sigh).

Susan Boyle's album is out!

Susan Boyle's CD is out today! I cry every time

I hear the clip of her singing wild horses. I cannot wait to

hear this playing in my studio.

Aveeno...A Winter must have!

This lotion is the MUST have for this winter.


I have really dry elbows and have tried all the

lotions and creams, I can get my hands on too.

Yet nothing works. I was looking for new

lotions the other day and came across Aveeno.

I put it on that night. The next day I went to

put some more on and my elbows were so soft.

That night I put on more and was shocked. My

dry elbows were gone and my skin was so soft! If

you have dry skin...This is the BOMB!
