Scrapbooking Room Overhaul

So we got the cabinets that I have been wanting a couple of months ago from my grandparents (Thank you very much) and they have been sitting in the garage. Finally today we decided to start this process, which is going a little better than I expected. We moved about 80% of the stuff out of the room and into our dinning room and started painting. We also went and bought the primer for the cabinets so that we can successfully paint the formica. The room is a soft pink color and the trim & cabinets are going to be chocolate brown. Quite a stunning contrast! I love the color combo and have known for a long time that I wanted the room these colors. I am going to stencil some butterflies and dragonflies on the walls in the brown and on the cabinets in a cream color and some in pink. On the wall that faces the door I am going to put up stencil some quotes that inspire me. I really want this room to be an inspiration every time I sit down to work. The closet is going to hold all of my quilting and sewing stuff so I am also so excited about that. I figure once we get the room painted and the cabinets hung the organizing and getting it ready will take till the end of the year. Come Jan. I am going to start up with my creative energy and get back to what I love doing. Hopefully all will work out as planned and I won't be disappointed. I often envision my plans and then they don't quite look like what I envisioned. I guess the bottom line is that when I get done I will have an organized place to work and be inspired and do the things that I love.

I have a ton of scrapbooking stuff and I started to go through just my paper today. Tons and tons of paper. I couldn't use it all if I scrapbooked continuously for the next 100 years. I sorted out a lot of it and I am going to give it away. I still have a lot to go through. I told Eric to be patient with me while we are doing this because I really want to organize everything right. Even though I have a room for this, it really isn't a big room and to get everything in there I am going to have to organize wisely. I suspect that within a couple of weeks it will be done and we can start moving the stuff back in. HOPEFULLY!

Other than that today wasn't too busy. It rained a lot of the day and the kids were kind of couped up, but what am I gonna do, send them out in the rain? Well I am off to take my shower and watch the last part of God's Warriors that CNN aired this past week. Very interesting programs and when I finish this last one I am sure that I will be sharing my thoughts on it. God knows that it caused me to think a whole lot.

Good Night

I'm back...

I am finally back and I have finally set up my blog site and I am working on the boys. Just have some patience while I get them going and I get use to writing again. This site is mainly for me and my rambling thoughts that I often have no one to listen to. So I decided that I would make my blog about me and my thoughts and then each of the boys will have their own blog that I keep up with. On my sidebar, under Places I like to visit, I have added a family picture section. Please be really patient with me on this because I have to upload the pictures to this site that my mom has and I can store all of our pictures there, but I do need to organize and make galleries and sub galleries and it is already beyond me. Anyways, once I get this going like I am hoping then it will be really great. I just need some time to get back in the game. It takes dedication to blog daily and I am attempting to do 3 blogs all at once. I know that's not that big of a deal, but I have to get use to sitting down and doing it. Anyways I just wanted to make my first post so that I could send out the site and be done with it.
