Renovations Part 1

When Spring arrives, I always seem to get the urge to do some home improvements, and this year was no exception. We have been in our house for a while and desperately needed new carpet so not only did we get carpet in the bedrooms, but we also put down a laminate floor in the office/ scraproom. Since we had a week to clear out the small to medium things in four rooms, I thought it would be a great idea to go ahead and paint as well. For our bedroom I wanted to get rid of the brown walls and do this beautiful aqua color and create a "Maui Escape." After buying three gallons of ocean mist and painting the entire room I was reduced to tears and a reply from my husband that he was afraid to tell me that he hated it! Back to the paint store the next day. We came home with a quart of Acorn. Then I hated it. After a couple of hours of silence and dirty looks, we went back to the paint store and came back with two shades of brown. Not exactly what I had in mind, but I don't have any nightmares or hospital green or bright orange.

Here is a project for my latest class at the LSS. Clock base is from Creative Imaginations and transparency was created using Word Art and Text boxes. Super easy, but if you don't have a wide format printer, it can't be done. This is a Mother's Day present for my Mother-in-law, so I hope she is not peeking on the blog or I will have to give it to her early! It's been a couple of months since my last project, and this was a fun project to get me back in the mood. I will also do one for my mom, but waiting on the right pictures for it.
