I did have some issues with customs but in the end got my beautiful mats and layed them tonight as soon as I got home (and took pics).<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TUdbKgc5fXI/AAAAAAAAAGs/NDH9ZXggd3o/s1600/DSC03244.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568519700334869874" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TUdbKgc5fXI/AAAAAAAAAGs/NDH9ZXggd3o/s320/DSC03244.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TUdbKHLVewI/AAAAAAAAAGk/2cUzLIMh42w/s1600/DSC03246.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568519693550320386" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TUdbKHLVewI/AAAAAAAAAGk/2cUzLIMh42w/s320/DSC03246.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />On another note...I have begun my Home Management Binder with the help from <a href="http://www.abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com/">www.abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com</a> and will post some pics of the finished project as soon as I am finished:) It gives me something to work on while the snow continues to pile up!!

Yes, it kept the stairs warm in the winter however...it was a magnet for hair, lint and anything else. It was so hard to keep clean so I decided to tear it up:) Here is the pic of the ugly burgundy runner:<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTHzdEOkhDI/AAAAAAAAAFM/wEXwVqohQp8/s1600/DSC03218.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562494695455884338" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTHzdEOkhDI/AAAAAAAAAFM/wEXwVqohQp8/s320/DSC03218.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /> Then I was left with multi colored stair risers and treads. This is the moment where I wondered what I had gotten myself into!! So for now I just re-painted the risers to clean it up a bit and then I will see what I can find to put on the stairs to cover the faded middle section:) Below are some before and after pics:<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTH00_P13MI/AAAAAAAAAF0/tBh8lq80l7w/s1600/DSC03215.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562496205947526338" style="WIDTH: 215px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 295px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTH00_P13MI/AAAAAAAAAF0/tBh8lq80l7w/s320/DSC03215.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTHzcu894oI/AAAAAAAAAFE/5LM0QSK7pr8/s1600/DSC03221.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562494689744904834" style="WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 217px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTHzcu894oI/AAAAAAAAAFE/5LM0QSK7pr8/s320/DSC03221.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTH00vzbRnI/AAAAAAAAAFs/7zfy9TbT5VE/s1600/DSC03216.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562496201801811570" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTH00vzbRnI/AAAAAAAAAFs/7zfy9TbT5VE/s320/DSC03216.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTH00JrRHcI/AAAAAAAAAFk/TFZn0h2Ntmg/s1600/DSC03222.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562496191567044034" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/TTH00JrRHcI/AAAAAAAAAFk/TFZn0h2Ntmg/s320/DSC03222.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Hopefully I will be able to find some kind of treads for the steps that will suit my taste.

Having a husband who is in school and lobster fishing along with 2 children at home leaves me with little time to venture out of the house alone so I decided to begin blogging again!!<br />I will be beginning to try some new projects around the house and hope to share any ideas that I come up with throughout the year. Hopefully other Prim lovers will have more to share throughout the year as well because I love a new challenge and ideas!!!~Ang~http://www.blogger.com/profile/11025291767087258005noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188870329224370208.post-25099210476680127932010-04-21T20:20:00.008-03:002010-04-21T20:35:49.363-03:00Intro to my Family :)So I have been searching online and playing around with some different ideas for my blog and there are just so many different ideas out there!! <div><div><div><div><div>First thing I am going to do is introduce my wonderful family :)</div><div> </div><div>This is my oldest son Damyn with our dog Cleo:</div><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/S8-JCTkjUCI/AAAAAAAAABA/XAlF3_-ZPcY/s1600/Damyn%27s+Best+friend.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462735545730027554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/S8-JCTkjUCI/AAAAAAAAABA/XAlF3_-ZPcY/s320/Damyn%27s+Best+friend.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>Then we have my second son, Marcus:</div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/S8-JqnTPTSI/AAAAAAAAABI/ChN82R3fs4s/s1600/117.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462736238220889378" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/S8-JqnTPTSI/AAAAAAAAABI/ChN82R3fs4s/s320/117.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div>Then there is my baby girl, Grace (we call her Gracie) :<br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/S8-KD8JYEWI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_5ALCdfQVM0/s1600/118.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462736673313395042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/S8-KD8JYEWI/AAAAAAAAABQ/_5ALCdfQVM0/s320/118.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here is a pic of my step-son Jaden with Grace:</div><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462737245297531330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/S8-KlO9BWcI/AAAAAAAAABY/x0nQerMEkK8/s320/081.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div><br /><p></p><br /><p>Here a one of Grace and her father, Josh:</p><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462737814132783474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kQ_PzGQf7O8/S8-LGWB6eXI/AAAAAAAAABg/RSif-_7wvRk/s320/Happy+Fathers+Day.jpg" border="0" /></p>~Ang~http://www.blogger.com/profile/11025291767087258005noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188870329224370208.post-53104674294992788612010-04-14T21:45:00.003-03:002010-04-14T21:49:53.847-03:00High Speed is here!!!I am so excited to finally be able to blog like I have always wanted to since we moved to the country!!
