What we've been up to lately...

Em wanted a bedroom with pink, green, chocolate brown, and polka dots...
The paints we chose are called: Chocolate Kiss, Lauren's Lullaby (pink), Guacamole (trim), and something Cherry (molding)

My little sis and I made the shades for the chandelier and this year I added the 'bling'
In process...

Her Spring bunnies dancing near the ceiling
Fru fru girlie curtains and her cute toy chest with Gramma B's old chenille bedspread as the lid cover
The shelf has some of my great great and great-grandma's teacups and plates on it along with her own mini set and a cup and saucer she painted herself
One day Em was quiet somewhere else in the house. She came in the room where I was and showed me what she had been up to. She had put the picture above of she and Noah in a frame she received as a gift on our trip to Florida last Spring. It sits next to her bed now, along with the Beanie angel bear you see. She says it's Noah.

Notice how I worked in the polka dots? They are on the ceiling in glow in the dark paint, (thank you, Kim A. and Izzy in SD for that great idea!)
I think I have 3 purses. A summer one that is white and woven, a caramel brown one and a black one...
Great toy chest find a few years ago at The Paris Street Market, a great shabby chic outdoor market that meets at Aspen Grove shopping center in CO the first Sat of every month from May to Oct. I changed the cover on the seat b/c the other stuff was too cheesy. It's material from Em's great gramma who is with Jesus.
The quilt on Em's bed I made out of vintage chenille I found in Minneapolis years ago. The other side is the same chenille from Gramma B's (SD) chenille coverlet. I added the raspberry flowers to match her curtains. The bed was $45 from Paris Street Market.
Jason and I had fun doing Em's room in our new house. It took a while, but we wanted her to have some input. We are all pleased with how it turned out.

Self portrait of us at the community Eggstravaganza
Waiting with Daddy to get a few eggs from the 5 year old scramble
Same thing, just mama

Wondering when the guy is going to blow the whistle...
2 more minutes
It was over in 30 seconds. Em had a strategy. She got a few eggs that were close and then ran to the middle, but on the way tripped and lost her eggs. She recovered all but two. She said she left those for other kids...
Happy with her 8 eggs. She was happy to join in the Spring festivities. She knows Who Easter is about, so we were just having fun, outside, on an early spring day.

I am VERY VERY VERY near sighted. Let's see...does -4.75 and -5 mean anything to anyone else out there? Well, I decided I wanted a large range of vision with my new glasses, so, here's the biggest pair of glasses eh-ver! Not really, but I like them and they were on sale! Woo hoo!
They aren't as bad as in the first self portrait.
Oh yeah, and, my hair has grown about 2 inches already! Don't know if the video from January showed the backs of our cuts.

So yes, this is a random post. I mainly did it for Em's Aunties since all but one live far away. Hope you enjoyed the pics. I'll post more stuff later...
