OSU Tailgater 2013 {weekend recap}

Since last Saturdays football game started at noon we decided that our morning pre~game potluck should be more along the lines of a breakfast menu and save our traditional tailgating food for the post~game. It worked out great, plus, by the time we left we had missed all the traffic heading out of town which was a nice bonus! 
Pre~game food:  breakfast burritos {regular & spicy}, breakfast sliders, Einstein's bagels and assorted cream cheese~including pumpkin {YUM}, donut holes, 2~Portland Coffee Cakes, orange chicken {for good luck!}, coffee, OJ, and even some fresh Oregon State Cheese made by college students right on campus!




Post~game food:  BBQ'd chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, cabbage salad, fruit salad, chips and dips, homemade cookies and cupcakes.  
Where oh where is Chef BoyarRON's BEAVER Apron????
{I forgot to pack it....bummer!}
 I didn't get as many pictures of the Post~game food since my camera kept getting so wet. Two of our 6 tents collapsed at halftime from the strong wind and heavy non~stop rain, which made it harder to keep dry  inside our "cozy" little tent city after the game.  
Another fun Game Day with family & friends!
Go BEAVS!

updated door molding

Here is a quick look at our newest DIY Home Improvement project. 
I was in a hurry so my pictures aren't very good but decided to post them anyway.
Ron is making and replacing all the molding around our inside doors.  
The door below shows the original molding.
Here is the NEW molding!
Once all the molding is replaced we'll finish changing out the dated door knobs, 
possibly to something similar to the ones below.
Love the new look!

Happy Monday!

NEW Little Wallets {Chi Omega owl collection}

Here are some new Little Wallets I worked on last week. This Chi Omega owl collection was a special order for our niece who is a sorority member.
 To make these Little OWL Wallets a bit more versatile I added a loop and ring to the side of each one so they can be easily attached to a lanyard.
On the inside of each wallet I added Chi Omega's greek letters.
Have a Marvelous Monday!

a week at the ranch


While the cookies finish baking I run back upstairs to grab some extra jackets in anticipation of some chilly September evening bike rides. Salads, biscuits and gravy

rehearsal dinner wooden chargers {a friend project}

This was a quick project for our friends who had a son getting married last weekend. They wanted rustic wooden chargers for the center of each table at their outdoor rehearsal dinner. The chargers were going to be topped with dahlia arrangements and votive candles. Since Ron didn't use the entire log I asked him to cut a few extras. think they will look great for fall decorating! 

Happy September!
