But I still catch myself feeling a twinge of guilt!.
We used to have this giant old monstrosity of a TV in here for her to watch her iCarly on, but we got her this new flat screen for her birthday last week, so now things are starting look a little better..I also picked up those two lamps, thinking they would look good on either side of the TV and I waited to be able to use them..
I made this box to tidy up her DVD mess, and I waited to use that too..The dresser was my great-grandma’s.My mom and I refinished it a couple of years ago, but kept the knobs in the original white chippy paint, just to compare and also I think it looks neat..
So I waited until the day I could put all these elements together thinking it would all come out looking great and really anchor that corner of the room..I added some daffodils from the yard, because I always think they make everything look even better.. Then I stood back and looked at it.. And tried to love it.. And the same thing bugged me about it, that always bugs me about everything.. And I said to myself, I said “Self, just stop it.
It’s not going to work.
I’ve been putting lipstick on a pig.They don’t look half bad when they’re grouped together with a whole bunch of real pumpkins in the mudroom..
This little mini guy was my test pumpkin.You can see that if you want to take your time with them and make the paper towel strips a bit smoother, that you can actually get a pretty cute pumpkin out of this method.. …or you can just let your kids go nuts and make some great Halloween memories!.
Have fun getting messy!If you don’t know about this one and you’re a baker, even on occasion, then you’ve definitely been missing out.I live in a fairly humid climate, so I always have problems with baking supplies clumping together, but brown sugar going hard is definitely the worst.
