A Family Addition

Well, no one has called to claim the little dog I found in the Hobby Lobby parking lot on Tuesday. I've called every dog agency in town, placed an ad in the paper and posted her picture on the Facebook page for Enid lost/found dogs. But that's okay. We've decided that she will be better loved by us anyway :)

So this morning we took Little Bit, who now has a real name, to the vet to get her all checked out. The doctor estimated that she's about one year old. We got her shots all done, clipped her nails and picked up some heartworm medicine for her as well. She is good to go! She's even sporting a new collar, name tag and has her very own bed.

Here she is lounging in her favorite spot in the living room last night :)

And here she is now in her very own bed!

Of course I couldn't resist picking up this mini toy as well. It's just like one her big brother Remington has, only the mini size :)

And she also have some new jewelry that proudly proclaims her new name, Riley. She's been a great addition to the family and Remington is so happy to have a new friend. We were always planning on getting another dog AFTER we moved, but apparently God had different plans for us. And we're so happy with them :)

Speaking of puppy dogs, look at this Playful Puppy Party featured on Amy Atlas Events.

It's full of creative ideas! See the rest of the images and details here.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Canopy Stripes

As I mentioned in a previous post, black and white canopy striped fabric is one of my current obsessions. It's classic, clean and oh so elegant. Not to mention that it can make a bold statement in a room without being too flashy. I normally favor a very neutral color palette with accents of greens and robin's egg blues, and this pattern could be put in any such setting and be beautiful. Here a few of my favorite examples: Is this room spectacular or what? It's modern, classic and sophisticated! There is a large amount of stripes in this room, yet it's not overbearing. And the symmetry and clean lines displayed throughout give the room great balance. I could just plop this room right into my house! This is another example (as shown in a previous entry). If you don't have the money to invest in a rug, buy a few pillows and get the same look in your room for a fraction of the price. Whoever said black and brown don't go together was seriously mistaken. Lo

Southern Gentleman Baby Shower

Last month I helped throw my best friend (we met in 9th grade speech class :)) Lauren's baby shower for her soon-to-arrive baby boy, Gunner. The shower had a "Southern gentleman" theme complete with bow ties, silhouettes and gingham print. Personal touches and family items were used throughout, including baby Gunner's dad's bow ties :) Gunner's daddy's "going home" outfit greeted guests at the sign in table, along with a framed "Southern gentleman in the making" print. A variety of centerpieces graced the tables with groupings of baby mementos, flowers and photos. An antique baby basket helped house the gifts. The drink menu consisted of milk, apple juice (one of Lauren's cravings), fruit-infused water and coffee. The menu was made of a variety of brunch goodies including fruit, doughnuts, muffins, shrimp and grits, breakfast casserole and a waffle bar. And of course no shower is comp

Table Decorating Contest

Jon and I are leaving to spend a long weekend in San Antonio with his parents and his brother (who will be town from Arizona). But before we go, I wanted to leave you with some pictures from the Officer Spouses Club Table Decorating Contest that was held last night. I called Jon on my way home from base, and he immediately asked "How was the contest?" to which I responded "Victorious." The 32nd FTS, our squadron, took first place! The theme was Silver Screen so we decided to focus on famous quotes from each movie genre. Each place setting featured a different movie. We had a "drive-in" for our center piece where clips of the famous quotes were shown. Welcome to the Jayhawk Drive-In! Wizard of Oz place setting. The glass had a button you could turn on to make the water swirl and look like a tornado inside. Also notice the witch's feet sticking out from under the plate :) A close-up of the yellow brick road I painted. Silence of the Lambs pl
