    How fun. I love contests! I need to peruse your posts as I’ve had no time to read since I’ve worked almost non stop at our property and am now ready to fall over. But we get a four day break so the concrete being poured and stamped for our porches can dry! Yay!

    Last week I took a big step and painted stripes on my daughters’ bathroom wall ( I am not a painter by any means so painting this house has been a huge step for me…and once I’m done I don’t want to see another thing to paint for a long time C(: ) anyways. I was very pleased with the results and am glad I took a risk and just did it….and I’d do it again.
