Perfect gifts

The room is done...and it is so fun.  (Paige begged for the scripture over her bed...i love that girl.)  Yellow walls with splashes of hot pink and lots of brown accents.  It is soooo pretty...and she totally deserves it! 

A nice free lamp that i added hot pink embellishment to the shade (i learned that from Meg).  Super fun!  The mirror in the background...it is crackled...the first faux job Paige ever did and it is soooo fabulous!  Screaming MEME would be so proud!

Fun place to keep pics and stuff.  (Just cork board covered in fabric.)

And, for the contacts...yes, this is just for the contacts!  (Hobby Lobby...$3)

Super fab curtains (two panels for $9 at World Market)

And, every lady needs to keep her jewelry close at hand...so 50%off Hobby Lobby iron hook/hanger...I think it's suppose to be for keys.

And a pic frame collage for the wall.  She also picked out the cross on the wall next to the door. Strategically placed so she will be reminded of her faith every time she leaves the room.  (can she be real? thank you for her strength and faith.)

So, my Paige's room (she is my perfect gift, btw), paint and accessories for less than $50.  New Roxy bedspread was the big ticket item...but used the $20 off card from BBB!  All in all, the whole room was redone for $150.  Not bad!

Oh, and I've had that picture board in my head for a while now, too. I found this amazing fabric at a shop close to where I live that matches with my Monkey's room to a T.
Glad to see I'm not the only one!

That's a beautiful room...the two of you have great taste. It's such a classy color scheme, not at all what most teenagers would pick. I'm sure it'll last beyond the teenage years.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

A lesson in NOT BEING STUPID

What NOT to say to an adoptive family... Any of you all that know us know that we are an adoptive family...and for those that don't just look at our pic.  It will be obvious.  We are different sizes and shapes and colors.  That's why we call ourselves the "motley crew".  I know, pretty funny. Here's the deal...a few things that I don't need strangers to say to me, or tell me: 1.   I know that I'm white and my #3 daughter is brown.  I live with her.  Your revelation is not mine.   2.   Yes...some of my kids don't look like me.   3.   My kids have ears and are old enough to understand the stupid things you say.  So don't say "where's she from?"  I might have to kill you if you do.  Consider yourself warned. 4.   Just because an AA kid is adopted, doesn't mean they are from Africa.  Look around...here in the US we have AA people too. 5.   Don't ask me which of my kids are my REAL ones.  Clue...we are all real and so are you.....
