Project Kid Artwork Room Display!

1. Clip rings (I bought these at Target in the shower/bathroom section)

2. Eye Hooks (Tommy bought at Home Depot but can easily
get all the materials for this project at local mart.


3. Wooden Dowel Rod


4. Decorative Ribbon

5. Tommy measuring for the eye hooks.

6. Placing the dowel rod in eye hooks. This is where you add the clip rings.

Once you insert one side of dowel in eye hook then add the

clip rings then continue inserting dowel rod in other eye hook.

7. Tie decorative bow in back of eye of hook.

8. Tie second bow thru eye hook.

9. Add artwork! (the only thing I did not do is paint the dowel rod yet.)

Voila! The Artwork Display is almost complete.

Now to add framed pictures above art display to finish off this wall.

I was inspired on someone else's blog to make this artwork display for the girls room. I cannot find the blog I was inspired by but I believe she was making something for Hanukkah. Anyway, I hope I find her site to give her the credit she deserves!

Two Windows, Lil'Helper, Oranges!!

It's no secret to our family and friends who visit that our home is NOT decorated! Yes, a little here and there but mostly we moved in and started rearing children!! LOL We have lots of ideas but since we moved here 2 1/2 years ago time just went to our children and making it through the day. Well, we are ready to start the fixing and decorating! Here is a sneak peak at the inside of our undecorated home and the latest project. I have a color scheme thanks to my cousin and I have a super talented husband who started "Weekend" Projects! This is one of those projects..... two new windows in our living room on side of the sliding glass door. He and his Dad did the first one and he did the second one all by himself the next day! It looks great!! You are awesome, TP!! you too, Pop!

Here is My Man and Pop (above)

and one finished window (below)

Daddy's Lil'Helper

And during this project, Asa found a new hobby .....

Oranges oranges oranges (or satsumas as TP calls them!)

Can you guess what we have been eating as a snack at this home?? Satsumas! They are delicious but we have barely made a dent in the tree. We are even giving some away but we still have lots!

My Latest Project!

This is my latest project..... a mural for the girls room (not finished with the details yet.)! It is a lot bigger than what I envisioned. I thought I was about finished until my toddlers asked, "Where are the people." I really hadn't planned to add people but now I feel like I need to! And what's a circus without people anyway!!

Butterflies, Ladybugs, and the Sun!

Today we played with cousins Ethan and Mia. We did a photo frame project. As much as you try to keep them organized and in order the reality is that it is chaotic, loud, and fun!!
