Spring Break Bright Idea

Sorry I've been away...But, we had a great Spring Break!

My in-laws came in from Connecticut for a week, then my Dad & Step-Mom came in from Honolulu for a week. It had been 2 years since I had seen my Dad and 18 months for my in-laws. They were visits that were well overdue.

We had a wonderful visit and the weather was perfect. But during the break, I had a "Light Bulb Moment"..................

Too obvious? Well, I couldn't help it!

I hated that awful "builders grade" pantry light. I kept trying to figure out how I'd change it.

Mini chandelier, mini lantern, hmmmm?

Then, it hit me! Mason jar! "I bet a mason jar would fit in the socket."

I was so excited to try it...it WORKED!!!!

BEFORE Light Globe

AFTER

Hard to see with the light ON...But you get the idea...better than builders grade, closet globe. It only took me 10 years!!!

Woohoo! Ding Dong the Light is Gone! I love it! My boys even said that my idea was genius...it doesn't get any better than that.

Tell me what YOU think!

A Few Spring Break Pictures~

My Wonderful, Very Supportive, In-Laws here for a Visit. She even made homemade Pesto! Awwweeesome!

Cabella's

6th Floor Museum Dallas, nearing the 50th Anniversary of JFK's death.

My son Preston took this of me....Blurry... They think I look similar to Jackie O., ...I wish!

The boys in the Museum gift shop looking ornery...and a bit annoyed at me for making them take this picture, LOL!

My Dad's Visit...They are so much fun, love spending time with the kids, playing games with us and the best part....they LOVE cooking! We had a BLAST! {Explantation on the pictures~ they stayed at my home this trip vs. my sister Heathers, (we switch off each year....ok...we fight over them, LOL!). When you have guests...Honesty Moment... when I have guests...I forget about the pictures!!! So ridiculous! So until someone send me good ones...this is my only proof they were even here. Typical! Oh well, at least we all had fun, LOL! Sorry!}

La Hacienda dinner after their flight home was canceled...Woohoo! One more night! And me looking awkward, obviously leaning back to make sure the boys were in the picture, Hee Hee!

Darby being spoiled by my Step-Mom! Well, look at that face....Could you deny that cutie?

Thanks for letting me share. I hope you had a wonderful Spring Break and first week of Spring. I have pictures to come of my Spring veggie garden and patio update. See you soon!

Happy Decorating & Happy Spring!
