Fun weekend with my parents

For Halloween, the girls at my job decided

to dress up as lawn ornaments (from the movie

Gnomio and Juliet).  So I am going to be a 

pink flamingo....the picture below is my mom trying

to make a beak for me.....

here are all of the supplies to get us started 

on the beak....

We finally have a finished product :)

A side view so you can see the full effect.....

And this is the full outfit...

I am trying to decide how a flamingo 

stands, although here I look like a chicken

trying to peck the ground for food...

I think it will be a fun day at work that day ;)

One of our other projects while my parents

were visiting was to polish a silver tea set that

my mom owns and is going to use for a Christmas

Brunch that she is hosting...

Look how tarnished this set is....

So we bought some TarnX and put on 

some old clothes and decided to work 

together so we could chat while we polish.

We really are polishing these shiny even though I stopped 

for a picture...

And some more scrubbing and polishing....

Now look how this set turned out.  Isn't it an amazing 

difference??

We had such a good time and 

accomplished a lot of projects while 

they were down here.
