Picture Tag--Yes Mary I Am Finally Doing It!!

Here is my picture tag. I don't follow rules very well so just deal with it!!


I decided to take pictures of my living room walls. Mary said she wanted to see inside peoples houses and I am proud of my walls so here is the first one. I made--yes, I said made, both of these items.



Here is the next wall. I made this also. I know that you are thinking--wow, why can't I have an AWESOME Enrichment Counselor like Jillene in my ward? She has the BEST Super Saturdays!!



Here is the next wall. I made the "All because..." thing and then hung my beautiful, adorable, amazing and wonderful children all around it. Aren't I cleaver? And to all of you saying haters....kiss my grits!!




Here is the TV. Notice what is on....Yo Gabba Gabba. See--I told you we watch it every day! The last time Yo Gabba Gabba was on my blog it stirred up a bunch of controversy--imagine that!!



Here is another wall. Oh my stars!!




And finally here is my favorite red/maroon wall. Don't be too scared of my picture, oh I mean, all of my spooky Halloween stuff!!



Here is the kitchen sink with last night's dishes--at least they are clean--and this morning's oatmeal and cereal bowls. I didn't cheat and clean are you proud? I am!!



Here is the fridge. The pot is almost empty with Homemade Chicken & Noodle Soup--thanks again Tina!!



Here is my self portrait. Notice that I didn't even comb my hair! Go me!!



Here is a closet. It is Hannah's and Olivia's.



Here is my bathroom. It is pretty nasty. Notice the 1970's tile and the awful shower door. We are remodeling in February or March.



Here is what I found in my heater vent! She must have stole some of Alice's shrinking pills. Little stinker!!

You hang up your kids' clothes! I do no have the patience for that! I like your living room. Too bad I don't have any cool Super Saturday stuff on my walls.

Stacey-

Okay, Jillene you have to help me on the picture hanging. I have not ONE framed picture on my walls. Your walls look so pretty! My son peeked over and saw your bathroom and asked why is my bathroom on someone else's blog. Love it! Love that you hang your clothes, you saw my massive pile that pretty much how it stays. And the self portrait is crazy but love it too. I think I'll do the same!

Unknown said...

Please have a blogger Enrichment night! I will come and make make make! I want that BE sign! Too cute.

I like the self portrait, but the thing that makes me feel the best is the tile in the bathroom. My kitchen floor linoleum is seriously from the 70's and is nasty dirty and scratched up. (Thus, I took my photo above it). We say we will remodel someday. Ha!

Take before and after pics when you do!

We have the same dish scrubber... that is neat!

Lisa said...

Loved it! Will you please come down south and do some wall art for me???? Those are too cool!

Jillene said...

Ramona-
I will TOTALLY invite you to my Super Saturday next year!! Matter of fact it will be on August 1st. I have an AWESOME lady that does EVERYTHING!! All we have to do is paint, assemble and sand to antique if you want to. I love the BE one and the best part was that it only cost me $12.00!!

Erin the Great-
I LOVE that dish scrubber!!

Mommy Madness-
First-is it possible to know your name? Just wondering cause it's probably shorter than mommy madness.
Second-I am not very decorating oriented so I kind of just guess. I try to make sure things are even and in the middle and then I just go for it. Maybe you need to come up to SLC for my Super Saturday--we could really hook you up!!

Kristina P. said...

I love all your decorations!

I will say that I'm a litle sad and disappointed that I don't see a picture of me in there, with all your children.

Work on that, will you?

rychelle said...

you are so crafty. i LOVE it!!

Alyson | New England Living said...

I love all your pictures. And we're big "Yo Gabba Gabba" people too!

Jillene said...

Kristina-
I think it would be a little odd if I hung you by the kids--people will think I was preggers at the ripe old age of 6!!

Me (aka Danielle) said...

P.S. I like the new profile picture! It's cute!

Jillene said...

Danielle-
Thanks. Mary said I sould put more pics of myself on my blog so there you have it!!

zachsmom said...

I'm with Romona, blogging craft party!
I love all your walls, they make mine look like a pile of rotten mayo.

Jillene said...

Mary-
You can come to my Super Saturday too--I did adopt you as my sister so it's all good (plus I am in charge so who's to tell me anything (0;). Mark it on your calander August 1st. BUT if you really want to make some things sooner we can get a hold of my lady and go check the stuff out at her house and then have a blogger craft night. Either or!!

Krissy said...

Ooooh girl. I LOVE your self portrait. lol You soooo puurdy... even with yo uncombed huhr and cross-ed ayes. lol (some little country ghetto talk for you. lol)

Ok seriously, I might have your lady hook me up and mail me some junk to decorate my new house and junk. lol

Um... That is all. lol :)

Holly said...

Is that Sorry Sliders in the girl's closet? I was thinking about that for Butterfly for Christmas.

I love the look into your home....I love your design ideas for the walls.

Vanessa said...

Yo Gabba Gabba freaks me out.

Jillene said...

Holly-
Sorry sliders is really fun! My kids all love it and it would be fun for Butterfly!! The other one that they have is Disney Sorry and they love that too. The girls like it because they can be the princesses and my son likes to play with the villians.

Fine Jillene, all you had to do is ask for my name?

Areepheroirxztreghtli- Don't try to pronounce it, you'll probably hurt yourself J/K you'll probably get it right on. For now you can just call me "ARE" for short. I'll have to post about sometime.

Hey, and if you all do have a bloggy craft night let me know, I plan for it. August super Saturday sounds like a plan!

BTW - Why did you change you profile pic?

Anonymous said...

Again!

Annette Anthony said...

I so love your front room. you should have shown the beautiful floor and floor boards that your manly man crafted!

I really, really like your new self photo! YOU SO CRAZY!

can't we just call you to be the stake enrichment woman and you could just have a major super SATURDAY! That wau I could have all those cute decorations too!

Jo said...

Are you kidding me? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the wall with the two people fell in love quote and pics. Gave me a serious case of the warm fuzzies. You need to wear your glasses in your pictures more, you are confusing me.

Whitney R said...

I love it all.

Especially the little person that came out of the vent!

I love this post! I'm such a voyeur I want to see insinde everyones house! It's Hawt that you didn't straighten up or brush your hair...being real is the hawtest.

Kristina P. said...

JIllene, I saw your comment about the jello blog, and now I feel bad! I wasn't calling you out. I wasn't sure either! I saw your comments which I thought were serious, and then I wasn't sure until a but down the road.

Can you ever forgive me?

Jillene said...

Kristina-
It's fine!! Don't feel bad--I am NOT mad I was being sarcastic!! You are still as great as ever and there is NOTHING to forgive!! All is well!!

Jillene said...

Ari-
That is a line from a TV Sitcom called Alice and this waitress Flo used to say it....but that was WAY before your time!!

carrhop said...

Love, love your 'All Because Two People Fell in Love' montage--it is so great!!

Blessings!
