Determined...

So, some of you know this already, but when we lived in California, we did not have cable. Which translates to... we basically had NO TV. Which I was really ok with. I was never home to watch it, and well, David never complained, so it was just fine. If we pointed the antena in the right direction we could get PBS pretty clear and sometimes ABC would come in just a little fuzzy. Anyway, when we moved here we (I) got talked into bundling the phone, internet AND cable. Of course when you bundle you get a 'great' deal, right? Well, needless to say, the kids are loving all the 'kid' channels (If I NEVER see another Spongebob show again it will be too soon!!!!!!) and David and Michael are really enjoying Dicovery channel, History channel and all the others like them. Now, I said I was never home before, well I am always home now, and I am LOVING HGTV!!! Yep, I am addicted!! I watch way too much of it (according to my sweet husband). So with this in mind, I have decided that it is time for me to try my hand at decorating. Something I have never really done before. David decorated our home in CA and did a pretty good job at it. But with our roles being reversed, I have decided to give it a whirl. So, what am I doing? I am painting the entire house! Yes, I have lost my mind, but I really want to do this. I am DETERMINED to get it done and to make our house more 'homey'. I know we will need to start replacing our furniture soon, so why not make the whole house what I want? Yes, it is a rental, but they said we could paint a neutral color. So, I am! I have bought fabric to make valances for the windows, I have gallons of paint, and I have a long list of other projects I want to tackle. So, maybe I will post pictures as I finish these projects, but I have to ask that you not expect much!!!! I may have had a business in the 'crafty' world of Scrapbooking, but a 12x12 page is much easier to design than an entire room!!! So, I may make some mistakes, but that is ok. I am trying something new, and I am LOVING it!!! Hope this determination lasts through the entire project!!!
