Bathroom Makeover Part 1

By -
We have been living in this house for a year now. There has been a plan in the works to fix up the bathroom from day 1. But being busy with a baby and my husband working long hours, so many projects fall by the wayside. The bathroom by far needed the biggest upgrade. The floors and counter are fine, but the vanity, mirror and lights are so bad, broken, boring and blah, and in major need of going away...  FAR AWAY! 
I had purchased a new light fixture at Macy's on clearance and a new shower curtain. But now we need a new mirror, a fresh coat of paint on the vanity, new drawer pulls, rug and curtains. 
I can't wait to post pictures of when it is all finished! 


Yes, the door is broken and all but one light is burned out. 

This a sad looking bathroom. :(

I can't wait to see it! Our bathroom is like yours. We are actually going to start painting it today. The walls and ceiling are GROSS. But I think it will be a while before we can replace the counter tops and paint the cabinets. We have so much other stuff to do!

I was totally cracking up at the photo caption! I've felt that way towards a few things in my house. And I have a bathroom that fits in that category too. I'll get around to it one of these days. Maybe you'll inspire me. Can't wait to see the pics!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. 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

By -

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.
