The Girls Room

When I was a little girl I would have been delighted to have the room my girls are in. Here are some pictures of the finished product.

I got thrifty and made a canopy out of sheer panels I got on clearance for a 1.00!! and in between mixed long rows of purple beaded flower garland. I hung it all with silver chain attatched to the hoop. IN the center is a hanging tubular lamp I bought on clearance for 5.00! I wish you could just see the glow! My girls love it at night because it casts a purplish hue through out the room scaring any monsters away ;)

I did the same thing with the curtains as I did with the canopy and intermixed the sheers and the purple garland. The curtain rod has a really cute limegreen glass knob at the end of the valance. The vanity was painted with three colors and in the side of the glass are velum papers with butterflies I put into the frames. Above and all over the room are butterflies hung off of clear wire fishing wire. On the side I did a large striped focal wall with stripes in three colors: Pink, Purple and Limegreen. Afterwards I and the girls put flower and butterfly wall stickers through out the room.

Another view of the focal wall

Oh the other three walls I painted them the three colors of the focal wall: pink, purple and Limegreen. I had fun with decorating and my girls love it, calling their room the fairy room. Now I just need to make them some cute matching quilts for their bunk beds :)

The Front Yard is....

DONE! Here are some pictures of the house. I know I have not posted any as of yet so here they are!

** This is a full view of the front yard. Next year hopefully my hygrangea bushes will be fully grown in front of the porch. **

** Ahh the look of new sod is wonderful and lush **

** We planted a Sweet Gum Maple for the Front yard. They grow up to 40 ft tall and 20 feet wide. We will never see it to be that large but they do turn beautiful fall colors of gold, reds and dark greens. **

** Garden Bed. In the front are Dahlias and in the back are my hygrangea bush starts **

It has been a busy summer as we were VERY busy in the back yard as well. We ripped out a lot and put in a bulb garden with tropical tiger cannas, a rose garden and an apple tree. We tilled up the back corner for the kids to put in a playground and are currently seeding right now. Pictures will come soon. I love this house because it has allowed keith and I to learn so much about working on a home. A home is a lot of work but worth it because when you sit down at the end of the day, the feelings you recieve are priceless. With a little hard work and patience you can start with a blank canvas and come out with a masterpiece of your own.

Blessings

I had to speak in Sacrament on Sunday on faith in the family and it made me realize how blessed I am.

I have the most amazing husband who has held my hand and swept me off my feet in all areas of my life.

He has been my other half, my heart, my life, my love.

He is ALWAYS there to support me, cheering me on, seeing something I can never see.

I love you Keith Matthew Nye!

I was blessed the day you walked into my life.

So I dedicate this post to you; my partner, my best friend, my lover.

May we walk the path of life hand in hand, into the eternities.

I look forward to all the memories we have yet to experience!
