Friend Makin Mondays---Projects

With all of the tragedy from the earthquake in Haiti last week, the natural instinct is to make this Friend Makin Monday related to that. Because it is hard to blog about crafting, projects, what kind of peanut butter you use, your efficient cleaning methods, cute shoes, and the like when such a horrible disaster has just occurred.

It is a horrible, tragedy.

I'm sure that it has been weighing heavily on all of your hearts, as it has mine. That is why I am fighting that natural reaction, and deciding to go ahead with something of a lighter topic.
Sometimes we need to think about lighter things in order to cope with so much sadness.

With the new year here, and resolutions & organizational goals in full force, what are some of the projects on your list? Are you working on any specific projects around the house, such as purging, organizing, craft projects, home improvement projects? Share with us! {And hopefully you'll be sharing the before & afters on your blogs, so we know what we can tune in for!!}


::Here's my list::

1}. Curtains for our 3 huge living room windows

2}. Repainting a few of our furniture pieces, specifically dressers, b/c someone has taken up locating every hidden marker & drawing masterpieces on anything she can get set her sights on.

3}. Can you even see this? If so, purging & organizing each room & drawer.

4}. Making super cheap art pieces for above the 3 windows in the living room.


5}. Redecorating Maddie's room, including a really cool Pottery Barn inspired project that I'm in the middle of.


6}. Being intentional with bringing more color & fun into our house & lives.



Just after the new year, I was introduced to a super duper, lovely, amazing blog called 'Whatever' by Meg Deurksen. I am in ♥ with her blog! I love looking at all of the bright, fun colors that she uses in her home. It is so inspiring to me.

The most amazing thing that drew me into her blog was the scripture below. I had been thinking a lot about that scripture as I entered the new year, and decided to use it as a focus scripture for this year {along with a couple others}. So when I came to her blog, and I saw that scripture, and all the wonderful color, inspiration, and warmness in her family, I fell in bloggy ♥. You should go check out the amazingness. Ya, I just made that word up.
