24 Hours later.........

And this is what it looks like now.
This is filling in all the nail holes with spackle, sanding them down, taping everything up, 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint.....

What do you think? Do you think it looks too country? Or kinda hospital-ish???
Well either way, it looks better than it did before.

My weekend project

Well here is my little ugly hodge podgey dining room. LOL! And this is after I cleaned it and made more space in it last weekend. Believe me, the way it looks now in these pics is a drastic improvement from what it looked like before. But I am ready to change it even more. So here I go!!!

This is the before pic, and I have a small "project" I am starting on tonight.
I am hoping that it will look a lot better. Minus the fact that I will still have the same ugly carpet and dining room chairs. Just ignore those, k? Especially when I am done.

Doctor visit

Well, I had my yearly 'you know what' today. I was able to tell me doctor about all my stuff I have been having going on lately. She gave me the following website:

http://www.soulcysters.com/index.html

And while its not confirmed that I have been diagnosed with this disorder, just going on the website has given me a lot of insight as to why I sometimes feel the way that I do. I am being reminded about how much your bodily stuff is linked to diet. And thats a reality check, and its sad. I will know more after my glucose tolerance test, and my saliva test next week.

Change...

Today I felt a desperate need for change.

The bakers rack in my dining room had become a huge eyesore, and a catch-all. I have been thinking about getting rid of it for a long time, and my dear friend Cindy has been expressing some interest into taking it off my hands. So anyway, today I got the urge to empty it all out and shove it half way into my trunk and drive the 2 blocks over to Cindy's and drop it off. It really was funny that I got it in my car, but I am so glad that it is gone!

My dining room looks so different, I moved the small kids table over to where the bakers rack was and turned that into a little study/homework table. All it took was the little desk organizer that I won at yesterday's crop, and a $.50 lamp that I bought at a yard sale a few weeks ago.

To add even more room to the space I took the leaf out of the big table, since we dont need a table that big. I also hung the new sign that I bought yesterday at Craft Warehouse with my 40% off ticket. Yay!!!

I cant wait to paint this space, and I am thinking that this coming weekend is looking good for doing that. But we'll see.

On to other things, I have gotta say that the crop yesterday was soooo much fun!!!! I was able to get 4 layouts done. And I think I ate a cupcake for each layout completed. oooops! It was really nice to hang out with the cool girls all day. We definitely had the most fun at the crop. We got our own little room with 4 other rowdy ladies and just had a blast!! They brought a laptop and played chick flicks on it all day. Got to watch Sweet Home Alabama, and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, two of my faves!!!! The lime-ade at Sonic was excellent as always, and the taco bar at the crop was delish!! It was a perfect National Scrapbook Day!!!

Lets talk about NSD......

no its not some horrible sexually transmitted disease.....

What it does mean, is National Scrapbook Day.
Its a very special day, that only comes around once a year.
A day for cropping, laughing, hangin with my BFF's, and eating way too much junk food.
Tomorrow, we crop! I am so ready to get creative, and I know, I always say that. Then when the times comes to actually do it, I cant. Lately its been so hard to even get one tiny creative thought to enter my brain, and then stay in my brain long enough for my brain to tell my body to execute it. So sad.

So anyway, tomorrow is about my girls and spending some good time with them in a new crop space. I am so exited for Sonic Lime-ade!!!!
