I thought that I'd better show off some of my 'Swap Bot' loot. The picture on the left is what a received for the swap that had a flea market/garage sale theme. You were to spend 5-10 dollars and find goodies that your partner would like...She really hit the mark with me. There were old school CD's, vintage craft kits, old postcards, a vintage craft book...It really made my day to see all of those goodies in my mail box. The second picture is from my 'Swap Bot' partner in GERMANY. She sent me a matchbox themed 'things with wings'. She stuffed all kinds of stickers, ribbon, felties, etc. It was really interesting to see all of the post marks on the package...This has reaaly been a fun hobbie i discovered. I hosted my own swap on that site. The theme is to make a tiny tag book that fits inside a matchbox. I've had 20 people to sign up for it so far so it should turn out fun. I'll keep you up to date on it!
Well, it's birthday month around here. Lane and Logan turn one year older next week. Logan wanted a new room (now that she is turning 10 and going on 16). It was hard to have to pull off the castle and unicorn theme border and all a few years ago and now she wants 'big girl' colors. Yup, that's Lane - I think that he's been cooped up in that paint fumed room a little too long don't cha think? Or maybe he's saying that the colors that they picked out are tastey tastey?? Anyway, the silly man sure can paint a room in no time. I'll show you the finished product when we get there. We found a great picture of a room with these colors, but about 3 ft from the ceiling there are circles of various colors. I think that's when I have to start painting...I'm officially 'circle painting' girl. EEKKK...I've already thought of many ways to cheat, so no sympathy just yet, k? It's amazing what just a little coat of paint will do for ya!!
My mom used to paint all of the time. She would get tired of a color or maybe just change her mind and BAM! Out came the paint brush, off goes the furniture and WALAH! A new wall and hence a new room.
So, I guess when things get drab and boring around the house - never forget the power of a little paint!!
Enjoy!!
