OMG, what am I willing to put myself through?

I LOVE HOW THIS LOOKS!!!  And I think I'll love how much easier it is to clean.

Here's the start...

During Ro's nap time I was able to tape off, after the kids go down tonight I will start painting.

My next project.

I thought I loved the idea of white railings and doors...  Until I had children.  (Same goes with stainless steel, too.)  Hand prints, foot prints, food particles, I can't even tell you what all I have attempted to Mr Clean Magic Erase off these things.

There must be a different way, right?

YAY, THERE IS!!!  Here is my inspiration...

And here is what I suffer cleaning over and over...

The wreath is done...

 Sort of looks like my tutu...  I actually had pieces of netting stuck to my tutu.

 Added rhinestones for some sparkle!!!

My Wreath Challenge

I bought one of these at Hobby Lobby, I mean...  Why not?

So that sort of means I need a wreath to hang on it, right?  So I bought this wreath wire shape thing for $2.49.

And this black netting and fun ribbon.

So I go on line for inspiration, finding out that I could easily make a wreath shape with- a wire hanger.  UGH!!!  If you know me, you know...  NO WIRE HANGERS EVER!!!

But then I see this, and it makes me laugh...  He was steering it like a car making vroom vroom noises.

My Arnold Palmer Cupcakes

Project Runway

Did everyone catch last weeks episode?  I was absolutely amazed by some of the artwork those young kids were producing.  I wish I could paint half as well as they did!!!
