I'm Baaack!...

So I was gone a little longer than I had planned but I have done so many things and thunk so many thoughts, haha! First things first of course I was away when I was supposed to be announcing a fabulous winner so we must of course remedy that first and foremost!! The winner of my fantastic goody box overflowing with fun is Kimberly from Kimberly's Korner!! Yeah Kimberly!! I will email you to get your mailing info and get that right out to you!! Secondly, some of you may have noticed that I took back my original name Nama Halacy's Comfy Cottage, I have actually been doing alot of thinking about what I want my blog to be, and honestly being a Nama to my grandies is one of my favorite things and my life really is all about family so I would like my blog to represent that. And finally, alot of my content will remain the same with posts about crafts and ideas etc., but I will also be posting thoughts, a long time ago I started a blog and thats all it was, thoughts, and then I lost the blog, well I found it and I actually liked the stuff I was writing so I will be doing some of that here. I think that is where I was trying to go with the Dear Shelly idea, but this will be much simpler.

It feels so great to be back, and I have so much to share so please keep reading, I notice I lost one of my followers and it really does break my heart because I think of all of you as friends, so hopefully the rest of you will stick around to see what I have coming up.

Until later,
Hugs,
Shelly

Vacation..

I am on vacay for the next two weeks! I hope to check in occasionally, but come back very refreshed!

Look what I did....Adorable lamp!

I saw this idea on another blog and I am so sorry I cannot for the life of me remember who's it was. If you recognize it or if it is yours please let me know and take credit. Anyhoo, obviously I loved it and I had to copy it, especially after tripping over my poor dog Milo in the middle of the night because I had no light!!

Here is what she looked like before (again its a girl, hehe)-

It cost me $3.00 at the DI. I took the fabric off of the lamp shade and took the lamp apart-

I painted the lamp with Krylon Pistachio and Ballet Slipper (because I love the colors and had them on hand) and I put little flowers on the shade, simple!
Here she is in her new home-

I love her and I am sure my ankles will be thanking her since there will be no more midnight tripping!

Dont forget to enter MY AWESOME GIVEAWAY!

Until later,
Hugs,
Shelly
