My baby will be turning 5 very soon and we will be celebrating with family and friends. This year Maddie will be having her party at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. It's all about the bugs!!! I've been playing around, working out the details....heres the color theme and a cookiepop for the kids who attend.
The paintings for Maddie's "BIG GIRL" room finally finished. I put these whimsical mermaids on canvas rather then the walls. I thought about it and decided it would be a shame to eventually have to paint over these cuties...so on canvas they went. Maddie thinks her mom has hung the moon and wants me to teach her how to be an artist. With that the hours of work were worth it!!
This is the 10th day of the Green Smoothie challenge and I FEEL GREAT! I was skeptical when I stumbled on to this challenge on the Organic Living and Lifestyle Blog. First who can drink spinach and second how can this change the way you feel? Well you can drink spinach and it totally changes the way you feel. Surprisingly it really made me conscious of what I'm eating the rest of the day. I give the green smoothie 2 thumbs up!! Give it a try!!!
After much hard work...my guest room is finished. My inspiration for this room was....NOT TO HAVE TO RE-PAINT IT! I hate painting and I really love the color...so this is what I came up with. I'm very happy with it...VERY!
This room was my daughters room. She is now old enough to be moved upstairs to her "BIG GIRL" room. I decided to remove the carpet and install hand scraped hickory laminate floor. My kids God~Daddy was good enough to teach me how to do it, although I could tell he just wanted to shove me out the door and do it himself. It took a mere 4 hours and it really is beautiful!! FYI..carpet guys sure earn their money...it was pretty tough on the knees...arms...fingers!! I need a nap!!
Guest Bathroom make over. I use Amy Butler fabric to redo the curtain, bench pad and all the pillows. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Next guest room....
How so!!! Well I finally decided it was time to use some of this yummy Amy Butler fabric to beautify my home. I started with the laundry room. I used 2 fabrics from the Lotus and Belle collection to make these fabulous curtains. I simply love the way they turned out! Then I finally got a quote decal a girlfriend gave me for Christmas 08 up and I couldn't be happier!!
