Twilight

Who knew I would like love a book marketed toward teenage girls about vampires and young love? After my sister-in-law devoured the book while visiting us over the weekend and left her copy for me to peruse, curiosity got the best of me. Oh. My. Gosh. As an awkward teen I would escape to my room and consume Judy Blume with the ferocity of an addict needing her fix. Yes, Judy Blume was my crack. Twilight allowed me to escape my twenty-something self and revert back to the thirteen head-gear wearing (only at night) girl who longed for a more glamorous existence. I am not sure if I fell into the glamorous lifestyle I once dreamed about but that is okay with me. I am happy and as long as I can feed my adolescent literature fix I will continue to remain pleased with my life path thus far.

Beginnings of an Office/Craft Room

I finally have an orange room! The processes was full of little bumps but I think I am going to fancy the end product. I refinished the (Goodwill) desk on 'Team office' and plan to refinish the sewing table a bright white. Off to the flea market to find a vintage metal chair.


Too orange.



Not enough 'pop.'



Perfect.



Team craft.



Team office.

An Apple a Day...

Our stone gray (but in reality looks like chocolate) dining room needed a splash of color. I am currently fanatical about any green & brown combination so when I spotted granny smith apple craft paper I had an "a-ha" moment. Three black frames + $1.50 worth of paper = a beautifully delicious picture grouping. Besides, who doesn't like apples?
