Wisdom and Migraines

OK so for the last few months my wisdom teeth have really been hurting me. So I decided last week to have them taken out on Friday. I've never had any kind of medical or dental anything done so I was a little nervous. The surgery went great and thanks to the anesthetic I don't really remember anything until later that afternoon.

My husband has been taking amazing care of me (I'm trying not to brag but trust me, better than most people's mom do for them : )

I've been icing constantly so I was hardly swollen at all

and I've been eating nothing but milkshakes, instant strawberry oatmeal (the yummy kind not the healthy kind : ) and chocolate pudding.

Life has been pretty good.

On Sunday afternoon I fell asleep at about 3 pm and didn't wake up until Tuesday at 11 am. I got a migraine, the worst I've ever had, sometime on Sunday night. Let's just say it was so bad we almost went to the hospital, and the only reason we didn't is because I didn't want to move or go into any form of light. Anyways, thanks to lots of prayers and medicine I am now feeling much much better! I've spent the last 5 days in bed and am ready to get some things done! Hopefully this next week I'll be able to work on some projects and have some fun little things to show off. Wish me luck!

This is kind of what it feels like : (

No pictures and my excuse and apology

Ok so I hate when bloggers only post like once a week or even worst, once a month. And I'm one of them! Not sure if anyone even really looks at my blog but in an effort to not be a horrible hypocrite I am sorry. Things have just felt so busy lately! My little sister got married this month so we made a trip "back home" for that (it was wonderful and beautiful by the way) and I just got my wisdom teeth out I'm sitting with an ice pack wrapped around my face as I type, so give me a break : )

I have a couple of things I want to post but blogger won't let me upload pictures, not really sure why, so they will just have to wait. I always say that I'll go back and add pictures to a post but then I never really do. I'm sorry about that too : )

Anyways, I had some beautiful lilacs on my table last week that I cut from a friends yard. She didn't even know what lilacs were! That just seems wrong to me. Of course, all my mom ever wanted for Mother's Day was a hug and kiss and a basket of lilacs so.... I may be a little tainted.

Hope you all had a great week and have an even better weekend! I was hoping to hit up some garage sales this weekend, I'm looking for new dining room chairs, wish me luck!

Pottery Barn Candle Holders

These darling little jars have been everywhere lately it seems! I think they are just so pretty I want them all over my house! I was ahead of my time however because I made similar ones months ago to hang in my kitchen above the table! I honestly never look at Pottery Barn anything, I just always see their cutest stuff on everyone else's fabulous blogs!

I think these have the most wonderful beachy cottage feel

Forgive the horrible picture please : ) I'm still learning

Ta da! My little hanging jars. I found three different little glass jars (I got one at Wal-Mart and the others at Savers for $1 a piece.)

Filled them with white sand from the dollar store.

Found the candles for a total of $1.50

Bought the wire at Home Depot for $4. I wish I could tell you how I made the wire hanger but I really just played around with the wire for each jar! Just make sure your jar has enough of a lip for the wire to catch on.

And hung them from ribbon.

Turned our pretty cute huh?

Total: $9.50

Not bad if you ask me, or the hubby ; )

To buy three from pottery barn would have been $22.50

I made this post specifically so I could link up to the we can do it cheaper link party at the Virginia House. It's a wonderful little link party so go take a look!
