As you can see by the date of my last post, I've been avoiding the Internet in all forms...our blog, my online support groups on yahoo, rumor queen, site's that I follow regularly (Hi Kristen, Kelly, Tricia and Jane...Danielle you need to start a blog so I can follow you too...I'll be visiting all of you today to see what you've been up to with your little ones :0)), I've pretty much stopped everything for a while.
We have been busy around the house and I have some pictures now and more will be coming soon...I'm excited for the first time in a long time.
We have been doing a lot of work on the house. Our house is old and we have that "horsehair plaster" throughout the house...I really don't like these walls...it's so hard to just hang a picture or curtains...I always make big holes in the walls...or the curtain rods fall out. I haven't had curtains in my upstairs windows for 6 years!! Guess what....I now have curtains thanks to our painter Doug!!
Doug was doing such a great job on the walls that I asked him to re-do Alison's room (I tried to hang a shelf on the wall and made it crooked and put a big hole in the wall). He fixed the hole, did a plaster skim coat on all the walls in her room and re-painted...it looks awesome. I also had him paint the large walk in closet a darker purple.
I found the cutest curtains at the Christmas Tree Shop last year...they are sheer white panels with green and purple butterfly's embroidered on the panels. I got them for $5 per panel..."Don't you just love a bargain".
I finally had the curtains cut down...one set is longer then the other set and I'm afraid to bring them back to get fixed because I don't want them to get ruined completely. It cost me $120 to cut down my $5 per panel curtains!! I'm in the wrong business...I need to learn how to sew.
I also found a really cute valance at BB&B...I'm still on the fence if I like them or not...they are shredded and have flowers embroidered on them...what I'm not sure about is that they are colored like a rainbow...what do you think?
Here is the final look at the curtains for now...not sure if I like the rainbow of color on the valance:
Today I'm painting the mirror that you see in the last picture...those pictures will be coming soon.
One more thing...I found this at the Hallmark Store and just loved it...it says it all right?

If you are still on the fence about the curtains, check out Target. I bought my girls some there and they are really cute. They are plain white and smocked at the top. Thank you for the shout out. Also, pray for us. I found a little girl on our agencies list that we are considering. Please pray that we clearly see God's will.
