I'm one of those crazy people, that I when I decide to do something, I decide to tackle on several big and time sensitive projects at the same time, thus scrambling up until class today and delaying this post.
Case in point: two weeks after my undergraduate graduation I had my wedding. Twelve days before the wedding I accepted a job, only to retract and take a different job two days later. At the ten day point before the wedding, was also when my fiancé and I had to completely DIY our decorations thanks to an exuberent bill from a wedding rental place. Everything turned out well, but it was a lot in just a couple of weeks.
This last week, my craziness came in the form of paining three rooms and a wall before a house guest arrived, and finish up my Master's portfolio, due Friday, but I'm turning it in early hoping that if anything looks lacking, I'll be told and can fix it. Throw in hosting a birthday barbeque, moving the house guest in, and I'm wiped out, but everything got done! (Except this post going out on time, can't win them all, haha!)
So my Monday Made It's aren't super cute projects, but I feel that they've my a huge difference to our ranch that's been stuck in the 70's for way too long!
Goodbye to ugly blue trim and paneling in one of the spare rooms....

Since it's Monday... I'm also hosting my "Eating, Drinking, or Linking" linky for any fun recipes or restaurant recommendations. Help me spice up my menu, link up any of your family favorites!
Sloppy Joe's another of Pioneer Woman's recipes (trend here..) the hubby loved them! We definitely won't be making them from the can or packages anymore! I didn't add as much garilic, just a couple of cloves, and I didn't have dry mustard on hand. Still tasted super; we'll be making these for the niece and nephew soon! Click
here or the the picture below to see step by step photos for this recipe!
