How Things Change

in Seasonal Projects

I just had to take a break from my blogging break to show you what was under the Christmas tree for me this year.

The Hubster and I decided to be practical this year and buy each other a garage door opener for Christmas. Romantic, no? But he went ahead and got me a little something extra.

Yes, that is a spray paint gun that works with his air compressor. Does my man know me or what? Look out world! There’s no limit to what I can spray paint now!

And my mom searched high and low for the perfect set of pink hand tools. I don’t know who loves it more. Me or The Hubster because now I’ll leave his stuff alone.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Were there any fun presents under your tree?

Wow. Those are such neat presents. Hubby knows how much I have pined for a hot glue gun to broaden my house-project horizons. And one just happened to find its way under our tree this year. Now he’s gone for a few days for work. He may not recognize the house when he gets back!

Oh, I would love that spray paint thingie!!! The tools are nice, too, but the spray painting that one could do would be so exciting.

Enjoy your gifts. I know you will.

3 Sarah @ ThriftyDecorChick December 29, 2008 at 7:10 am

I must have one!!!

4 Randall @ Happy For This Moment December 29, 2008 at 7:13 am

How fun! Certainly a great gift for you!

5 Rachael December 29, 2008 at 7:20 am

Cool gifts…love the pink tools!

I got a new camera for Christmas….very fun, but I have to read the boring instruction manual (hahahaha)!

6 Leila December 29, 2008 at 7:30 am

Yes, I got two days with my favorite handy-man! Not to go on vacation with or anything scandalous like that — to hire for all the little stuff that needs to get done around here!
Well, two days’ worth…

7 Katie December 29, 2008 at 7:36 am

Can’t wait to see what you create with your new tools.

10 Songbirdtiff December 29, 2008 at 8:02 am

I’m more than a little envious of your spray gun. I can just imagine all the trouble I would get into with that.

James: Honey, why is the ceiling purple?

Me: What ceiling?

:D

I LOVE the new pink tools! Any idea where she picked them up? I’m off to google pink tools! Lol!

Enjoy decorating with your awesome gifts!

12 Rambling Girl December 29, 2008 at 8:08 am

WOW…those are cute! I did my first spray paint this past summer…I do need some more practice though…Hope to learn a few more techniques from the pro!

We didn’t swap this year since we just built a house…we did get some money so we have decided to buy a storm door for the front door.

The kids were loaded down….

Now I am ready to see some of your crafts for Valentines…I need to start on those soon or I want get nothing done…It takes me forever since I work full time.

Glad you had a wonderful Christmas Kimba!

13 Michelle December 29, 2008 at 8:09 am

Great gifts – I got spoiled this year – a sewing machine and a camera – both of which I’m going to need an engineering degree to operate!

19 Valarie Lea December 29, 2008 at 8:58 am

My MIL got me a sander! I think she thought I was crazy when she asked me what I wanted and thats what I told her. :)

20 Misti of Studio M Design and Decorating December 29, 2008 at 9:04 am

Awwww man! I SO wish I had a spray gun! Of all the things in this house that have been painted… My aching fingers! Spray something for me Kimba!

22 Caren December 29, 2008 at 9:10 am

Great gifts Kimba! The Husband and weren’t going to do much for Christmas either but he got me a couple cute things that he says double as birthday presents. He also got me a food scale that calculates calories, fiber and fat grams. I know it sounds like a really horrible gift but I love it! ha ha!

Glad to see you had a nice Christmas. I’m having a little giveaway at my blog, stop by to enter if you get a chance.

23 Cassie December 29, 2008 at 9:11 am

Now that is an awesome gift!

24 jennykate77 December 29, 2008 at 9:39 am

Love the pink hand tools!!! I’m sure you’ll have hours of fun w/ your airgun/spray painting thing! My most fun gift was from my DH…an autographed pic from Twilight of Edward (Rob) and Bella (Kristen)…I♥Edward.

25 Mama Bear December 29, 2008 at 9:55 am

I love the pink tools Kimba! Hubby and I decided NOT to give each other gifts this year, because our finances were so tight. We promised…not even stocking stuffers. But he broke his promise. Although he said the gift under the tree was from our boys, it was really from him…it was a very soft and fluffy pink bathrobe, which I desperately needed! My old bathrobe was a little worn.

26 scargosun December 29, 2008 at 10:43 am

Yea! I am so psyched for you!

27 Mindy December 29, 2008 at 10:59 am

WOW! How COOL!! I can’t wait to see what you spray paint =)

I got the movie Mama Mia AND the soundtrack!! I LOVE this movie, especially the music. This was the perfect gift for me. And it was from Hubby, of course ;)

28 Suzy December 29, 2008 at 11:26 am

Oh I love your pink hand tools. I want such a kit for myself!!! :o )

Suzy

29 Sidney (Sixy Mama) December 29, 2008 at 11:56 am

I simply MUST have those tools!!!

Lucky you!

30 Mimi Sue December 29, 2008 at 12:17 pm

Looks like you had a GREAT Christmas. Love the pink safety glasses…Mimi

31 Lisa @ Stop and Smell the Chocolates December 29, 2008 at 12:29 pm

Those were great – perfect for you!

32 Amber December 29, 2008 at 2:09 pm

Oooh, awesome gifts! I love the pink hand tools. Let’s see, I got a new all-in-one printer, a knitting caddy, a really pretty tea pot set that is now sitting on my stove, and some gift cards. :) Always a favorite. So I went out and bought a Making Memories storage caddy from Michaels–with the 50% off coupon, of course. :)

33 The Rose Room December 29, 2008 at 2:20 pm

Fabulous gifts, I did get a screwdriver set, not pink though! Rachaelxo

34 Our Complete Family December 29, 2008 at 2:36 pm

Glad to see you were spoiled with some awesome things for Christmas! You deserve it hun!!!
Happy day wishes~ Les

35 Sheryl December 29, 2008 at 2:55 pm

Oh, those are perfect gifts! My hubby would love me to have my own tools, also. He is always complaining that he can’t find his hammer. Hmmm…I haven’t seen it! LOL

36 the voice of melody December 29, 2008 at 3:17 pm

Neat presents! Your hubby did great! :)

37 Penny December 29, 2008 at 3:30 pm

After, seeing your gifts, I have some serious pink envy~
No material things for Christmas this year.
Best gift recieved was that my Husband was at home on Christmas

38 Ashley @ Domestic Fashionista December 29, 2008 at 5:31 pm

That is awesome! I would love to have me one of those! lol…and the matching safety glasses!

39 Jennifer December 29, 2008 at 7:04 pm

I am just lovin’ those pink safety glasses!! What fun gifts!

40 Joanna December 29, 2008 at 7:31 pm

Great gifts! Can’t wait to see how you put all those tools to use!

41 Cary December 29, 2008 at 8:46 pm

I can’t wait to see what you do with that spray gun, too!!! I just love your pink tools! Get to work, girl!!!

42 Suzann @ Lavender and Roses December 29, 2008 at 8:52 pm

How fun!
I didn’t get tools, a paint gun, or a garage door opener. I did get dvd’s, a new i-pod and several other things I’ve been coveting. Hubby would be scared if I got the gifts that you got. LOL. Now, I’m looking forward to all the great projects you’ll create in 2009.

43 Nancy December 29, 2008 at 11:12 pm

Cool tools! thats what I need!

44 Sally Pepper December 30, 2008 at 7:03 am

A friend of mine also got pink tools and was ridiculously excited….

45 Jen - Balancing beauty and bedlam December 30, 2008 at 7:46 am

Girl – where is Vogue when you need them. Their cover girls have nothing on you. :)

46 jenniferadams December 30, 2008 at 8:15 am

what awesome girly tools! Link us!

47 JANE December 30, 2008 at 8:26 am

You got Tomboy Tools!!! I’ve been coveting those for a year now! I got Godiva chocolates, my husband obviously does not realize thaose were for the pre-children days, I like practical now!

48 robinrane December 30, 2008 at 8:41 am

Just found you last weekend through Creative Blogs…love your site! I think your tools are great!
Pink tools! That’s just perfect!
I’ll be back!

49 Pretty Organizer December 30, 2008 at 9:30 am

Ohhh covet.. darn. Now I’ve got sin! I’ve been eying that pink tool bag for awhile now. And the spray paint gun… girl, you’ll be painting the roses red!

My dad is a commercial painter by profession. There’s not many more things that bring you as much joy as firing up a spray paint gun an knocking a project out in seconds. And the smell…. yes, sadly, I still love the smell of latex paint. Something clean and satisfying about it. Congrats!

My gift was giving my husband a compound miter saw so he could expand my laundry room. (The gift that keeps on giving!) With any luck this babe will be doing laundry for 8 in style!

50 Holly December 30, 2008 at 11:01 am

Love it! How fun!

51 Jane Anne December 30, 2008 at 1:12 pm

Oh, I went to a Tomboy Tools party once. They are so nice!

52 Maureen December 30, 2008 at 1:15 pm

A spray paint gun is the perfect gift for you!

53 PamperingBeki December 30, 2008 at 2:29 pm

I’m way behind here…

First, your “getting real” post. Perfect! And you are exactly right that it’s all about the crop of the picture. I posted my Christmas disaster picture on my blog today, before I even saw your’s!

Second, your new tools are so perfect!!! One of my favorite gifts from my hubby was a set of Craftsman tools. :) Now I use them daily for my jewelry!

Happy New Year to you! God bless!!

54 Bee December 31, 2008 at 7:28 pm

Ooooh! I need one of those spray paint things. I got a drill press!!!

55 Amber January 4, 2009 at 12:12 am

Very cute! And appropriate! Now you can “tool” around in style as you work on projects with your girly pink tools…wearing high heels a la your friend the Nester, of course.

56 flowergardengirl January 5, 2009 at 10:12 pm

What a nice place your blog is! And your personality is cute as can be. Congrats on your goodies. Love the pink hammer.
