Busy Bee

It's been a fun couple of days over here. After a couple trips to the thrift and craft stores, Crafty-Becca has been re-awoken. I bought a bunch of ugly picture frames and mirrors and have been painting, sanding. spraying, and (hopefully) making them more attractive for use in our home.


I also got a little overambitious and decided that I could make one of these...

...because Apartment Therapy made it sounds so simple. NOT so simple. It's been a little more challenging than I expected, with hot glue, tacky glue, a little bit of swearing, and general messiness. Now that it's done, I can't quite decide if it's hot home decor or Satan's Lite-Brite.

New Year's Eve, I engaged my creativity in a more familiar context...in the kitchen. Former roommates won't be surprised to learn that fajitas (aka Becca's standby) were on the menu.


Dave was my ever-faithful dishwasher. Looking dashing in Melanie's homemade apron.

Friends came over to help eat our Mexican feast and we whiled away the hours until midnight playing cards, drinking wine, quoting Arnold, and laughing a lot.

Cheers! Happy New Year!
