Twins' Room REdo

John and I are letting the twins redo their bedroom. We have given them a budget and basically that's it! They have free range....eek!!!!

For their first art piece- we made these super sweet origami butterflies. We weren't sure if it was going to be a chandelier or a mobile or hanging in the alcove where the desk is...they finally decided to put them on the wall.






They are super simple and perfect for teenage girls! I also love how they span the colors of the rainbow in order instead of just being randomly displayed. We used small sewing pins to affix them to the wall- that way you won't need to fill each hole when its time for them to come down. Just put up a fresh coat of paint and the wall will be ready for its next design.

The girls are scanning the internet looking for bedding, other wall art and a light fixture. I think it's great that they want to make the decor instead of buying everything...such creative little squirts! LOOOOOOVVVVEEE it!!!!!

I think she will fit in just fine with our family!

a NEW year

Welcome 2012!

I've come to realize that I don't keep my resolutions...so why make them. BUT I am hoping to be more healthy and more happy!

How do I hope to accomplish this?

Well, exercise is a must. And eating healthier. We're making it a family effort- so it should be FUN!

I'm also hoping to blog more...I really fell off the blog wagon this year. I'm doing the 'picture everyday' experience. I'm hoping this will give me ideas for blog posts and a way to remember all small things that happen as well as the big.

Happiest of New Years to everyone!
