After an evening of inspiration on wednesday evening I tackled my daughter's bedroom. By the way thanks, Joanne, for the enthusiastic boost! I knew I would have trouble so I said a little prayer before I began de-junking and six garbage bags and two hours later left her this. When Kinsley got home from a friends birthday party she quietly played in her room for a long time. Obviously enjoying the extra space. She also fell asleep a lot quicker than normal. I wonder if it was the clean room.

After that I tackled a new craft. Yes, girls, I'm crafting and it's something new. It is a magnetic message board (the satinless steel appliances drove me to this solution). I think it turned out really cute, except for the "Mona" factor. After I got all the vinal on I noticed on the back that there is a top and a bottom and I put the vinal on upside down! Yep, that's me doing a new craft!

Oh, by the way, I never thought I would have that much fun but I sure enjoyed our adult kareoke night at the church. When all the men sang "I Feel Like A Woman" I was so proud. Great job to all those who participated in it. Vance, you did an awesomely fabulous job portraying one of my most favorite characters from one of my most favorite movies. Kimara, you and Sean were great as Sonny and Cher! "I Got You, Babe!"

I think your craftyness is great! I love how clean Kinsleys room is! The only way I can clean London's room is if she isn't there as she needs everything that I throw out...and yet magically if she isn't there she doesn't even notice it is gone! The singing was so fun! I was surprised how great it did turn out! Awesome sharing time!

I think that your crafting turned out wonderfully!! I wish I had the 'gift' or the motivation...of which I do not possess.

Kaye would be just so happy if I did that to even one of our rooms. Go Mona!

Look at you go!!!! Umm - you are so crafty and I love it! Great job on Kins' room! I love having clean-kid's rooms if only for a moment. (sigh)...

My kids always play in their room more if I clean it... why can't they figure that out by themselves?!
Way to "enrich" your life by taking what you learned and doing something with it!!!
