What do I love about December?

This day.

This day,

December 26th, in the year 1922,

my Mom was born.

Born in Colorado.

(She still resides in the same area she was born.)

She's...

funny.

She...

remember's everything.

Especially those things you want her to forget.

She is...

independant.

She can...

touch her toes without bending her knees.

(Just thought you'd like to know that.)

My husband says,

"she thinks she's a 250 pound, 6 foot giant."

You don't want to tangle with her.

Smart man.

These are just a couple of things I love about her on this day.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Hi! I just discovered your blog through before after, I think. But oh man, was it ever meant to be. I'm in love with your painted dining table because it is exactly what I'm planning on doing. But it is even more beautiful on your blog than in my mind. I'm so excited to do it! I thank you for showing the exact paint. I was just wondering if you sanded on the base, if you primed it, if you put a clear coat over it, if you used a brush and how the paint is holding up with use? So sorry for all the questions, but you are an expert! I was seriously going to get the aris table from pb a few months ago and just thought I could probably do it for less. Well good old craigslist + your blog is going to make it happen! Thanks

BTW hilarious crystal cake stand post!
