You guys I have been SO busy with school that I hadn’t been to the hairdressers since January! I had been cutting my bangs and the front myself. Does anyone else do that? But the the back of my hair was horrible and you can visibly see that it had been quite a while since my hair had met foil. (Yes, I am very blessed that at my age I only have to highlight my hair. My grandfather Roy still had a head of dark wavy hair well into his 80’s and I am crossing my fingers!) Necklace and blouse~ ... View the Post
The Final Exam
I love bible studies, do you? It's the best prep for The Final Exam. The Final Exam This past week I’ve been doing another type of studying…. for college exams. As always, it’s been a bit of a challenge to be a 45-year-old college student who is also a wife, mother, designer, and blogger. In addition, Mr. Décor is currently in Florida. Math is finished. I still have History of Photography which has NOT been as fun as it sounds. Then there is a two-part level 2 oral French exam. ... View the Post

My Pinterest Easter Fails
As you may know, my kids are older. They aren’t interested in hand-woven Easter baskets containing homemade bubbles, DIY jump ropes, and handcrafted sidewalk chalk. However, like most kids, money is always appreciated. Rather than just sticking the cash inside plastic eggs this year I decided to try my hand at creating origami springtime creatures out of dollar bills. I checked out Pinterest and found all sorts of inspiration and links. Here is My Pinterest Easter Fails. This is supposed to be ... View the Post
