Blog Update: The Making of a Sports Bedroom

I started the process today of making over my spare bedroom into a more functional actual bedroom. Mostly for a year it has been a storage shed, inside the house. So I started going through the Theme stuff and I am actually shocked at how MUCH sports stuff I have.

The room has to be painted so I am only sharing a little today and my next update will be the final product but let's start with what every bedroom needs, a bed! This daybed was white and I didn't feel that was really sporty so I painted it black.



(I have to admit this was the first time I have used the panoramic view while taking a photo. Pretty cool iPhone 5!)

The room will be a very sports grey not the lovely dark purple it is now.

Here are some of the treasures I have to accessorize with.



This is actually all mine. Crazy, right? I can't even see my bed!





My Snow Monkey & Rangers Pom-Poms.




My Mavs Pom-Poms and a couple bobbleheads. That baseball shelf in the back I made when I was in high school.




My Dirk Nowitzki autographed shoe. Game worn. My BFF bought this for me.




Nolan, Nelly, Adrian, Kari and I can't tell of you can see Tyson Chandler or Ron Washington.




This is insanity, I believe!




Anyway, I think I have just enough sports memorabilia to decorate my house and anyone else's! I need a bigger house! I also need a wife because I am not sure I am actually female after analyzing this!

Somewhere in this pile is a Opening Day poster for the Ballpark in Arlington. That would be the original Opening Day. I was there when the gates opened the first time. A Jurickson Profar autograph from the Frisco Rough Riders, last summer. World Series tickets, pennants from the All-Star game and both World Series and some videos from the Cowboys Superbowl in 1993. I am so proud!

Blog Update: What I'm Loving Wednesday Christmas and New Years 2013

Here is a roundup of what I am loving from the last week in pictures:




Playing dress up and looking girlie. Every once in a blue moon it is good to feel pretty!




Sometimes it is nice to feel a little cute too.






Wine. First I love my blue bubble glass glasses.




I also love my niece poking her head over my green glass on Christmas.




A white Christmas!!!



A house full of kids playing in snow.




Kids at Christmas are the best!











I don't know where my nephew was...he didn't come sit on my lap.


How excited my Mom was about the wreath I made her. She already knows where she is hanging it in the house for the National Championship!




My church. I love it!




Hot cocoa when it's cold.


Okay with all that in mind...the snow has made it impossible for me to ride and I am in desperate need of physical activity so I am starting my fitness plan for New Year 2013 in 2012. (I will update this later). Too much Christmas cheer has made me miserable so...healthy lifestyle restart button starts today! No more junk food and no more wine. It was fun while it lasted but so is being able to fit in my cloths!!!

One more thing: I am loving that I am broke until Friday. Sounds crazy but....I don't need to go shopping!

So, what are you loving?

Happy Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas: Blog Update

Christmas at my house! Santa comes early because I am secretly an elf and I make deliveries for him on Christmas. Aunts are elves, you know!















I had lots of wrapping help. Luckily I also have lots of gift bags so I didn't wrap much. We didn't wrap much!




I played dress up a little this weekend.




And it was kind of nice to be a little girlie. I decided on the dress and I will save the bling for another time.




Christmas is going to be cold with a chance of white stuff. Right...sure.







Merry Christmas and Peace to all!

Mountain Bike Saturday The Blog

I have found the most amazing bike stuff to hoard on Pinterest so I decided to share a little for the people who care. You could call this a what's Pinteresting Biking. I'm just sharing the pins. No explanation needed!




























These are actually wedding rings but how adorable are they???









































I want the lamp and I want to make the pillow! So adorable!!! I also may use the painting and do my own spin. I will post it later. I need to buy canvas and paint. Mine is too old to use. Haha. Been a long time since I painted!
