Ana is the creative genius behind </span><a href="http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Knock Off Wood</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. She designs furniture plans for the true DIYer. Her plans not only Knock-Off stores like Pottery Barn and Land of Nod, but they completely knock them out! Go visit her </span><a href="http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">blog </span></a><span style="font-size: large;">and take a look yourself.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my first building project, I wanted something simple. I have been on the hunt for a nice inexpensive entry table for some time now. When she posted</span><a href="http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/2010/01/plans-easiest-rustic-modern-console.html"><span style="font-size: large;"> these plans</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> for the "Easiest, Rustic, Modern Console Table Ever" I knew this was my answer. So, I headed off to Home Depot and bought the lumber and had them cut it to size. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then, my husband and I built the table from Ana's plans and added a shelf for extra storage space. Here it is after being built. It still needs paint.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">There was not a dishwasher in the house when we moved in. In order to put one in, we moved the fridge to the opposite wall. The dishwasher is in the fridge's old location. We bought a cheap peice of countertop at the habitat home store, and cut it to fit. It obviously doesn't match, but it was fine temporarily.... </span><br />

Unfortunately, Mike had to work, so Hailey and I spent Saturday going to several consignment sales. Then we enjoyed a treat at <a href="http://sweetceces.com/">Sweet CeCe's</a>. YUMMO! Sunday after church we went to a <a href="http://www.stonesoupnews.com/">Stone Soup</a> lunch at our church. After that, we spent the afternoon at the park. You can tell in these pictures that the weather was fabulous! </span><br />

This is the first year we have made cards to give out, and I thought it would be fun to do something a little more personable than store bought valentines.

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">LOOK! I made that pillow!! I am so proud. I am definitely NOT an exprienced seamstress, but I had bought some princess fabric a while back to make Hailey something and hadn't used it yet. I saw a castle sencil at Micheal's and thought... that would be really cute on a throw pillow. First, I stenciled the castle onto freezer paper. Then I cut out each little peice.Next, I ironed the freezer paper onto the fabric, then I used spray paint to paint the fabric purple. Then, I let the paint dry and removed the freezer paper. Look how cute the castle looks!! I love it and so does Hailey! Then I just sewed the pillow, stuffed and closed it. </span><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;">DONE!</span><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is the back of the pillow in the princess fabric:</span><br />

Today, at 10 AM, Hailey asks to eat lunch and take a nap. WOW! She never wants to take a nap, and today, 2 hours early, she is asking for it! She must have been exhasted. And, yes, I let her eat lunch at at 10AM and nap. What mother wouldn't? That is all.</span><br />

My mom just found it buried away and gave it to me. So, Hailey and I decided to try it.</span><br />
</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOqUltPHg0-6MbHqKZ4EPJVenlyLQpxJjkcooDKUuJMDiDb2Uk03PEYv115QG2fHMHiCaKkAuS28ro6MxRKt4KxCWXIlDUXar7h1RW2jIlo9PgQkKcpAvAcX4WgiEXJWffgwnEwF2GoMm8/s1600-h/100_6946.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOqUltPHg0-6MbHqKZ4EPJVenlyLQpxJjkcooDKUuJMDiDb2Uk03PEYv115QG2fHMHiCaKkAuS28ro6MxRKt4KxCWXIlDUXar7h1RW2jIlo9PgQkKcpAvAcX4WgiEXJWffgwnEwF2GoMm8/s640/100_6946.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Luckily, we had Nestle Sugar Cookie dough on hand!! :)</span><br />
</div><div align="center" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLqJEpZTgTBdfw6SL3vyEz0PrfN4zFZyZJnmsiOvcqo5W4Oftqff_hXuEULHC3N0nwJTM8PrekKhc4gCwWGLp5nrN8haPFqq9IV3lRl_ht4QT10OVG4VdAN4oi6igEn4V6-IwEY77GJVDH/s400/100_6947.JPG" /><br />

Hailey wanted to make animal cookies. The molded pans are so much easier and faster than rolling out the dough and using cookie cutters. You just press the dough onto the mold.</span><br />

I saw someone else do this interview about money with thier child and thought it would be funny to see what Hailey's answers were. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">1. How old are you?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>four</em></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">2. Do you like money?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>yes</em></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">3. What do you like about money?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>i can buy a house</em></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">4. How much money do you have?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>eleven</em></span><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">5. How much money does mom and dad have?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>not a lot</em></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">6. How much money is there in the world?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>a whole bunch</em></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">7. How do you get money?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>i find it</em></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">8. What is a bank?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>somewhere that you put it in the bank and get a house</em></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">9. If you had $100 dollars what would you do with it?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>put in the bank and then buy a house at home depot or something like that</em></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">10. How much money would you like?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>fifteen dollars</em></span><br /><em><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></em><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Let me explain some of her answers.... </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">As you probably noticed she mentioned buying a house several times. Mike and I have been talking to her about how important it is to save money instead of spending it all. He has been explaining to her that he saved most of his money when he was younger, and was able to buy our house because of how much he had saved. He also explained to her that if she saves her money, she can buy her own house when she gets older. So, for now at least, this is her plan: save her money to buy a house. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The other thing she mentioned that needs some background explanation is home depot. We have just finished turning part of our basement into a room (thanks PawPaw), and we got all the supplies at Home Depot. So... therefore, to buy a house you buy the materials at Home Depot. She is one smart cookie! :) </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Oh, and I loved her answer to number five! She was dead on! :)</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I will try and post interviews with Hailey again. I love hearing her answers!</span>Kelley Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14528842391090136101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188577264243961994.post-52062641383552469252010-01-07T18:51:00.006-06:002010-01-08T18:52:52.091-06:00First Snow of 2010<div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixVu05eccj0sqDvZdCnil00JhXx7wJYCRcGGx5lyfvc26Zk5EwwuxP42yTw_Q9t9wYhXVbYRTJ0yxKfeQEffeNJ_i_OwYzXmNgGmYwm2C3DOlLuPbmMwk3tUxxz3mAwGiXpEVW11xJ__6o/s1600-h/100_6926.JPG"><img style="CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424168827424124898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixVu05eccj0sqDvZdCnil00JhXx7wJYCRcGGx5lyfvc26Zk5EwwuxP42yTw_Q9t9wYhXVbYRTJ0yxKfeQEffeNJ_i_OwYzXmNgGmYwm2C3DOlLuPbmMwk3tUxxz3mAwGiXpEVW11xJ__6o/s576/100_6926.JPG" /></a><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>Today</em> marked the <strong>first snowfall</strong> for us of <strong>2010</strong>. The forecast predicted we would get around 2 to 4 inches of snow early morning last night. However, at 7:00 AM there was still no snow in sight. Hailey learned at school on Wednesday that wearing her <em>jammies inside out</em> would make the snow come. So, she was <em>very</em> diappointed that there was no white stuff on the ground. Later in the morning, the snow finally decided to show up. It wasn't enough snow to cover the grass, but there was a pretty good coating on the driveway. So, this afternoon Hailey and I bundled</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">up and battled the cold to have a little fun in the half inch of snow we got. She had SO much fun making <strong>snow angels</strong> and making a "<strong>snow castle</strong>" (a small pile of snow).</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-gvLbm_SghVfgmNAVBSTm-dhbx02bowngWhSdPA5YVFwd0DSHyAQtiefNs1ArV3VTjvy-D5GHRTNR_yDuu4zolnoW_7-oHS9-Ijzdur_N0RjwipPRUWDVxeQ60klKYXxH_b6CaCGSpD-/s1600-h/100_6919.JPG"><img style="CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424168815215427042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-gvLbm_SghVfgmNAVBSTm-dhbx02bowngWhSdPA5YVFwd0DSHyAQtiefNs1ArV3VTjvy-D5GHRTNR_yDuu4zolnoW_7-oHS9-Ijzdur_N0RjwipPRUWDVxeQ60klKYXxH_b6CaCGSpD-/s576/100_6919.JPG" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Making<em> </em><strong>snow angels</strong> was by far her favorite thing to do!

This year the theme was <strong><em>A Charlie Brown Christmas</em> by Charles Shultz</strong>. Most everything you see in the pictures (except us of course) is made from <em>ICE</em>! It truely is amazing how much detail is put into each and everything. I can only imagine the <em>time</em> it must take to make each item....</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Anyway, it was absolutely <strong>FREEZING</strong> in the the exhibit (to keep the ice from melting) so they give you special <em>blue coats</em> to keep you warm. However, they do <strong>NOT</strong> provide <em>socks or gloves</em>.... Hailey <em>refused</em> to wear socks, and Mike <em>forgot</em> his gloves, making them <em>BOTH </em>miserable about half way through....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Here is a picture of my family at the beginning of the experience:<br /></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxauEJ0izktqOQsDm4ceK-UpCiHHZLYUkgsUpplPGkmnKVXORLBBir6Mkc8e-psgdYBeStdANkXsr8rp7UA0hZmYHUfBAk0e-9zxZRMoCu6EvrfsOX3va5dCbJwGEpV2C6-gcwd31bsMfx/s1600-h/100_6721.JPG"><img style="CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424178821877594562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxauEJ0izktqOQsDm4ceK-UpCiHHZLYUkgsUpplPGkmnKVXORLBBir6Mkc8e-psgdYBeStdANkXsr8rp7UA0hZmYHUfBAk0e-9zxZRMoCu6EvrfsOX3va5dCbJwGEpV2C6-gcwd31bsMfx/s576/100_6721.JPG" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">One cool thing about the exhibit is the <strong>ice slides</strong>.
