Anything that makes me feel happy! This will be a nice way to look back on these things and for my kids to someday (hopefully) appreciate some day too. Since I haven't posted in months I am going to work on updating my little blog here with a bunch of past projects and diys.</span><br />

<strong>See that half wall with the black frames cork board on it, it's a fake cork board, that used to be a glass block wall that I HATED. It was too messy to remove them so I tried to paint them and it worked pretty well. I found that frame in the basement and I stapled very thin corking to it and hung it up to cover the now white glass blocks. I plan to decorate it, I was thinking of old recipe cards? but would love some suggestions.... I would have to hot glue it in place there since we can't actually use the cork board to pin things one.

Joe is 8 and Jenna is almost 4 and their interests are very different so it can be a challenge. My girlfriend picked the seed packets all up from Home Depot for the kids back in the spring. The other day I found those cute white mini pots in the basement and thought this would make a great project for them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">They loved it! Then they were bored! we need longer projects.......humph!</span><br />

When we first moved in (January 2006) this was just an finished attic that we made into a very plane and simple guest room. It was also a dumping ground at times. Then when our son turned 4 we decided to make it into a fun under the sea/SpongeBob room. It was adorable and very cool! But he HATED sleeping up there alone and eventually found his way back to his old room in the main level across from us. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then we got our little Jenna and she needed a room and off we went switching rooms AGAIN! Keith and I took the SpongeBob room (((groan)))) Jenna got Joey’s room and Joey was moved into the master bedroom. We worked to pretty up both the kids rooms and never even bothered with our own. If I could give one piece of advice when moving into a place or deciding on what rooms to take care of, Make the master bedroom a priority!! I can't stress that enough. You don’t think it matters until you finally do it and the feeling of peace and serenity are overwhelming, then you realize how important it is. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ok so anyway, this is what we have done so far………… we still need to install a clothing system for me, do some more painting, add an mock headboard, refinsh an old chair I have and some other odds and end but for now it is wayyyyy better then Mr SquarePants. Oh and notice I didn't even make the bed!! That is how we roll...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I wanted to copy an art caddy that Jen did for her boys on I Heart Organizing, <strong>http://tinyurl.com/jencaddy</strong><br />
I even ventured to two Targets for the exact caddy but no luck..boohoo! I did find another cute alternative in Home Goods though. It was all white and I thought I could paint the front with chalk board paint to make it look a little cutsier and fill it with art supplies. I think it came out pretty cute and my little one especially seams to like it. I keep it right on the kitchen table so the kids can get to it as they please. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

But how cool to be able to not only label your coolers with the words, ice, beer,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>lemons/limes, soda, etc. but when you go to a bbq or picnic you can put your last name on it and never worry about someone else grabbing it by mistake!

Which doesn't work so well when you are anal like I am....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then I got my Scour Off from Shaklee and with very high expectations I went to work on my stove top.

Anyway, I scrubbed the entire glass top with very little effort, wiped it down with water to rinse it and my oh my...... Mamma's high expectations were met! The glass was gleaming and of course since I couldn't leave well enough alone I took out my Shaklee glass cleaner and gave it a nice shine. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><br />
<br />
<li><span class="goog_qs-tidbit goog_qs-tidbit-0">Natural ingredients remove the toughest dried-on splatters and spills,</span> burned-on grease, baked-on food, and sticky messes without hazardous chemicals or toxic fumes. </li><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>Scour Off is made from natural mineral abrasives and biodegradable cleaning agents. It does not contain chlorine, bleach, or dye. </li><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>Scour Off gently removes stains other cleansers can't and is great for cleaning tubs, ovens, sinks, and tiles. </li><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>It will even remove rust, and is great for cleaning these surfaces: copper, grout, cement, ceramic, and imitation marble. </li><br />
<br />
<br />

Mommy Make Up!!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I saw this done with felt in a magazine and I knew my smart little munchkin would never fall for it but I also knew she would love the idea since she is totally enamoured by my make up.

Then while cleaning up one of our many art supply drawers I found a small square scrap of foam and immediately though of my long lost project! ;-)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">So here it is, make up like mommy! even Keith was fooled by it lol</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik3oxiqR1vDyvpthyDrryBpob7qbPPtotWa84sPlB-OApEbODeG2sl4c6Ic_q3ZKsv52-D7O7Wj8dGUZiuwE9HzDo6-Dub3q2KYZ8Z_c9UN4jcjJASPxHQZGC2UEwtmrk3h4O04IoqLOy4/s1600/DSC_0461.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="151" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik3oxiqR1vDyvpthyDrryBpob7qbPPtotWa84sPlB-OApEbODeG2sl4c6Ic_q3ZKsv52-D7O7Wj8dGUZiuwE9HzDo6-Dub3q2KYZ8Z_c9UN4jcjJASPxHQZGC2UEwtmrk3h4O04IoqLOy4/s320/DSC_0461.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">I have this little nook at the end of our stairs that I love to hate. It's adorable, I love nooks and our little old house has a good deal of them, yet I just haven't been able to get this one right. When we first moved in it was just a little decorated spot with a table and a mirror, nothing special. The it was a closet I closed it off and made it into a closet for my husbands work clothes. THEN it was a reading nook for my kids which never got used. Finally I found these cute door knob hooks but once they were up I hated them, they never stayed straight and were useless. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJAODfZK3LIvFtovCZ-HrH9E973bINVh6fColxOpf2OMGAuFaLdtppS_DxFLUBstDZ_U7SWb0N2oNPtNQDM4VmQfR0jnqaBWz6SnZhfDU0WLLJjnCynqzGz8TUr76O1Ow70rM3F1an-RF7/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJAODfZK3LIvFtovCZ-HrH9E973bINVh6fColxOpf2OMGAuFaLdtppS_DxFLUBstDZ_U7SWb0N2oNPtNQDM4VmQfR0jnqaBWz6SnZhfDU0WLLJjnCynqzGz8TUr76O1Ow70rM3F1an-RF7/s320/1.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Last week I spotted this in Pottery Barn.

Got me some lovely poplar cut to size (2 @ 49"), some paint ( I chose white gloss to match the moldings), and some black hat and coat hooks. I couldn't wait to start. I shared what I wanted to do with my dad whose responce was " Oh just by the Pottery Barn Ones, by the time you make it, you'll have spent close to the cost of the premade one" Ha! I knew he would say that! Wellll, the hooks were 3.50 each and the wood was about $11.00, and the paint was $7.00.......IN YOUR FACE DAD!!!!!

The closet will get painted on the inside with pretty trimmed out shelving put in so it can be left open and still look pretty.</span><br />

I know they can be tacky if over used but I just adore the idea of putting something really special in words for you see every day. We have wall words in our living room and they words were picked out very carefully with a lot of thought, seeing them makes me very happy. I saw these on amazon and thought to myself how beautiful for a baby's nursery or a toddler's room.<br />

I adore their rooms, I even love cleaning their rooms!! Go ahead, call me a freak :) Anyway, since I have yet to discover the tree that grows money all my projects for their bedrooms and the rest of my house are super budget friendly. <br />
I saw this clock wall idea a few times but the cheapest clocks I could find were $10.00 each and I just didn't love this project enough to spend that. Then I found these wall clocks at Target for $3.99 each.. SCORE!! Oh, and they come in silver, pink, green, blue, black, and white. I nabbed 4 of them in silver (wish I got green though!), then a quick stop at Home Depot to have 4 pcs of wood cut to 4.5" in length (I should have gone with 6-7" but I need to let that go and resist the urge to go back and have new ones cut)<br />
My little darling sanded and painted them with chalk board paint that I already had and on the wall they went. Pretty cute huh? He thinks it's very cool and that is all that matters to me!<br />
Oh and the total cost of this little ditty?? $24.00!!! Yeeeee Hawwww!! <br />

Not to mention I saw an opportunity to add a splash of color by recovering them...soooooooo I recovered them 3 months ago, three chairs..yup, that's all I got done were three chair. The material stunk! it's faded and wore just terribly, I think I got burnt out on it and just let the chair situation fall by the wayside. Fast forward to Friday night when I spotted this green damask like pattern and I immediately fell in love, like I actually felt my heart go pitter-pat, I may have gasped I just don't know but I love it!! Ok I said that already lol<br />
I bought it with my 40% coupon from Joanne's then I hoped and prayed my helpful and hand husband would be open to a little weekend project with me. He is awesome that way !<br />
This little project literally took us an hour..yup that’s it! ONE hour! He did the unscrewing and reattaching and I did all the recovering of the cushions. We make a rockin' team that way! awwww..<br />
And the cost..oh the cost..get ready for this...$43.53!! That is all it cost me for 6 chairs!!! with enough fabric left over for replacement covers in case of any mishaps.<br />
