how great are these shoes?!?!?!

I finally got some time to play this weekend and it made me so happy! It was my fist time using me new room. The best part of my room is the functionality. Something that was lacking in my old space. I made a huge mess and was still able to clean it all up in less then 10 min. Miracle! Especially considering it was 3:30am and the last thing I wanted to do was clean 🙂

 

The journaling is kind of hard to see in the pic but it says “There is so doubt you are my greatest joy!”. Love him!

Here’s one side of my room 90% finished. I still need to make the curtains, pillows, and add the foam on the bench. So far I love it!

 

This is my grandpas old dresser that we repainted. SO much better in pink…well most things are 🙂 The frame for my magnet board is from a thrift shop (Ale do remember when I bought it?)

 

 

 

My work table is going in the middle of the room. I love looking out into my back yard.

I spotted this over on the at the Paper Tales blog. It just takes a few minutes to read. It’s totally great and inspiring!

I haven’t made anything in a while:

That is my ‘old’ scrap room and the mess it has become during the transition to my ‘new’ room. I’m having fun doing my new room but I miss actually creating scrappy things. I should be back in action soon! Here are a few more pics of how I had things stored in my old room:

This weekend I was able to get a good amount done in my new scrap room. Last night I was in such a grove organizing I didn’t want to stop but then it was 1am and I decided I better go to bed so I could wake up for work. All the cabinets are built except for the bench which is going under my window. I am loving the process of going through everything finding new ways to store them. Here’s a little peek at some of the details.

 

 

 

 

Hopefully I’ll be crafting in no time 🙂

Right now all I want to do is snuggle with my little baby guy:

How can I resist that face?!?!

So my scrap room redo it in full swing! It’s so much work but coming together. Everything feels like it’s taking a long time because we are making it from scratch. Jeff has built and installed cabinets and I’ve been painting them. Hopefully tonight will be the last night of painting! I’m making a note to take photos along the way (I keep forgetting to). Tomorrow I should be able to share some progress pics 🙂

This weekend Jeff and I had a lovely valentines getaway! It was so much fun and super relaxing. We stayed at Lowes Coronado Bay Resort. I loved the hotel! The staff were very friendly and our room was awesome! We would defiantly recommend it. Here are a few pics from the hotel:

Happy Monday!

My friend Ann-Marie and I are starting our weekly challenges again! I’ve missed doing them. I t helps keep my creative juices going. Last time was her turn to choose. Her challenge was to create a holiday layout. Here’s my layout:

 

This picture was taken the first Christmas Jeff and I were together. It feels like yesterday and a lifetime away all at the same time!

My challenge for you is to use a new color combo that doesn’t include your favorite color. My most fave color in all the land is pink and I would say 99.9% of my layouts include pink somewhere. Not this time! Lets see if I can do it 🙂

Happy challenges!

p.s. you can play along too! Just leave a comment with a link to your project.
