My World is Torn to Pieces!!!

Spring cleaning kinda got outta control here at my house, so it's upside-down! Last night we got all of the ceilings done.

Today we begin painting the walls! YAY! It all started with my bedroom and kinda snow-balled from there.


I love it! So when I get overwhelmed by all of the mess and chaos, I just got to my room and enjoy the cleanness of it. :)


I'll keep you guys posted on the progress! xo, Sam

Oh my goodness! I am in love with your bedroom! It makes me want to go start tearing up carpet right now :-) I really need to start digging our out - it's just the only place I seem to be able to put things that little hands don't get at them every 7 seconds.

Love your room! I so need to start my spring cleaning. Maybe I will next week. I need to do this to our room, it is a mess because like someone already said, it's the one place to put stuff that little hands won't touch. I love the picture in your room too, my Aunt has that same picture in her home.

All I can say is great minds think alike. I've got my kitchen all torn up because I'm painting too. Don't you just love Spring.
So glad to have found your blog today. Enjoyed searching through your crochet posts. Such loveliness!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
