Who says painting is fun????

This weekend seemed to go on and on... which was good, because i got a lot done. I closed on MY house on Friday. All went well... And there really weren't that many papers to sign. Actually i was pretty zoned out when i was signing papers, pretty typical when people start talking in big words and financial matters. Nonetheless, I have a house, my very own. And I've already have had visitors! Shannon came over Friday night and Kyle and Kelly on Saturday. Yay.
I also spent Saturday morning at a very lovely baby shower for Jeanelle. I even got to see the illusive Sarah and Megan and baby Nori. Nori loves me by the way... so don't believe anything you read on Megan's blog! Sarah and Ellen threw a great baby shower and thank you for not having games!
I spent the rest of Saturday and Sunday taping, priming and painting. I really don't get it when people say they like painting. I just dont get it. But thanks to my parents help, I have a pretty yellow living room and a truly truly outrageous coral\orange\red bedroom. Za Za Zing. I'm not sure how i feel about it! I also spent time raking out in my yard and gardens. I love my yard!!! love love love it!!! It is amazing!
FYI: I have not one thing packed. Not one. I am a sad sorry state of procrastination!!! Pics to follow of the new digs.

Whenever someone tells me they love to paint I make them paint at my house.
Boys make Asher cry, but since you're a girly girl you're not THAT scary to him...

This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW !

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
