VALENTINE'S CRAFTS

I had some time to kill while in AcMoore so decided to stroll down the scrapbooking aisles. WOW - what stuff they have. I got some inspiration with some cute V-day paper I found so picked up some wood blocks and wood plaque. Did some painting and pasteing and this is what I came up with. I think they turned out okay. I swear I am my own worst critic. They do add some pizzaz to my V-day decorations and didn't cost much so I am happy with that!

FINISHING THE BATHROOM

As with so many of the other rooms in my house the bathroom is "almost done". Thankfully all the changes we had to make were cosmetic . The bones were there - newer toilet, sink and tub all in good shape. We took down some peach tile and replaced with beadboard, painted the walls Benjamin Moore Dill Pickle ( the name made me pick it - I love it) and changed the light fixture and mirror. We still have to paint the beadboard but I'll be leaving that up to my brother who paints for a living. We call him wallpaper boy. He'll be coming in soon but for now I am going to get done what I can do myself and that is curtains. The window is high and very small so no need for anything more than something pretty. I found these 2 fabrics at Joann's - I like them both just not sure how the cream background will look with the white beadboard, floor, shower curtain. What do you think? Sorry the pictures are both pretty poor. I'll have to work on my photo skills.

START OF A WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE

I am so excited to be finally starting this. For the past few months I have been hooked on quite a few blogs. Checking them out daily and basiclly getting what I call computer cramp in my right hand from scrolling down each page. I have so enjoyed all the sites I've checked out and vowed to start one of my own in the new year. What I have so far is so basic compared to what I've seen but I hope to change that in the weeks to come as I become more knowledgeable in the ways of blogging. This is the start of whole new adventure for me and I can't wait to experience it all.
