Hangnails are the absolute WORST. They are little pieces of torn skin around your cuticles and it’s usually because your skin is dry. Mine is dried to hell from painting and washing my hands constantly. Plus, it’s winter and my bony hands just get dry. One time, I held my own hand and I was [...]

Some added PIZZAZZ: More Custom wall painting
In addition to painting the walls, I also wanted to add something “extra”. I went online and found some inspiration for the room. The flowers are just beautiful.
I love the colors but decide to replicate it in a simpler form.
I pencil the drawing on the wall first. This is where the bulk of the work [...]
Video of me painting flowers and butterflies on the walls.
Here’s a clip of me painting some flowers and butterflies on the walls…fast forwarded 2000 times.

No interruptions…just quiet. Ahhhhhh.
The girls were sleeping in mine and Dick’s room while I was working through the night.
There’s [...]

The girls see their room and kinda help with the closet.
I held off as long as I could to surprise the girls with their “new” room.
Even though I wasn’t finished, I was dying to show them.
Plus, they had to come home from my parent’s house at some point.
THEIR REACTION
Louise was screaming like a crazed girl in love with some teeny-bopper celebrity.
(This was taken after she [...]
Jihad Jane? Definitely a case of mistaken identity here.
Apparently this JANE was conspiring with terrorists and was hired to kill that controversial Swedish political cartoonist Lars Vilks.
JIHAD JANE.
I don’t know anything about him or her but reading “Jihad Jane” on CNN.com completely caught my eye.

-Jane, Not Jihad Jane.
Color #4? Chalkboard Paint.
One of the walls of the girls room is completely blank and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do to it. I thought maybe I would do four boxes of blue like from the brochure.
Not FEELIN’ it. Plus, that would require lots of taping and I’m not up for it.
CHALKBOARD TIME

The Victorian Table gets the HOT treatment and June Cleaver suggests I trim it up!
The room still needs more umph. BOLD is BEAUTIFUL.
THE VICTORIAN TABLE
I remember that I have an old ornate, although intricately molded plastic, table that looks like it was from the LOUIS XIV days. It’s in my shed collecting dust because two of it’s legs have fallen off. I kept it all this time thinking I [...]
Painting the girls room. We’re going TECHNO! Color #1.
It seems that around this time every year, when it starts to warm up, I get this urge to paint. Yes, this Jane loves to paint.
I’ve been wanting to do the girls room for a while. The last time, I just painted some polka dots all over it with leftover paint I had over the [...]
What is this “Mom” businesses? I’m MOMMY!!!
Eight seems to be the year that your kids start transitioning into a more grown up phase in their life. Thelma seems more mature and she even tells me all the time:
“I really love being eight.”
I can’t believe she’s eight already. Just a couple of weeks ago, my 8-year old started calling me “MOM” instead [...]
