The Walls Have Paper...

Well...It only took me 3 weeks to finish the wallpaper...
I always seem to find other things to do, or I find another exciting project that I just have to start. I usually do have 4 or 5 projects going at the same. This really drives me so crazy at times, but I continue to do it over and over again!!!

~ Love This Spackling. So Very Easy To Use ~

I love this wallpaper!!! Now I just need to find a couple of pictures for the wall...

Organizing Tip For You...

I am spending way too much time looking at all my favorite blogs today. I should be cleaning, possibly laundry, gardening, organizing my garage, or even trying to finish the wallpaper, I started in my bathroom awhile back. Can you say... Procrastination?! That would be my first, last and middle name...

I wish I could remember which blog I saw this great idea on. So I could give them the credit, but I can not...

What a cute idea to keep your extension cords organized and not a tangled mess. Which mine definitely are, whenever I can remember where they might be!!!

Have a great day!!!

When Will I Ever Learn...

 I'm wondering if, and when, I will really ever learn!!! I'm seriously thinking I will not and that I will always always be this way...

From the time I moved out and was living on my own, I have always had some sort of pet, and or several pets. Then I had children 2 girls, to be exact,  whom I believe inherited the "love for any, and all kinds of animals," from me. Definitely not from their father. We have had to sneak animals in the house through the years. I'm not saying that was right, but sometimes it was a definite must...

We have had bunnies that were delivered by "The Easter Bunny" one year (very cute I must add). My oldest daughter has a small scar on her right check from loving on them so much. We have had a ferret, thank God we found the owner. Fish, multiple times. Hamsters and Gerbils, too many to count. Guinea Pigs that one daughter was very allergic too. One snake that we found a home for, once the mice started looking too cute to be dinner. Several birds that we bought, and several we found hurt or abandoned. Turtles and Hermit Crabs. I'm sure I'm missing some other animal that we have had through the years...

We always seem to have cats and dogs continuously. With the cats, they have their own set of pets which they bring in from the outside to share with us!!! They would be: lizards, some large enough to grill, or be mistaken for a baby alligator. Slimy frogs, dragon flies, cute field mice, a baby bird, and a very live black snake. That was a lot of fun to catch!!!

So here is what happened this time...My youngest brought a Beta home in a very small bowl. His name "was" being the key word, Eustis. So while she was gone for a few days, I thought I would be nice and move him to a larger, cleaner, prettier home. After I got his new home all set up and ready to move in, or be poured in, to be more exact, I go get him from my daughters room and he is "floating." Now his new home will have to be "The Porcelain Bowl."


You think I would say "Thank God" and go empty the new home and put everything away, for maybe, another time or day. Nope... That's not how it went!!! I got in my car, and went, and bought a new "Eustis." I wonder if my youngest will know. I also, wonder if my girls will do the same with their children one day...
