New stuff... I know... no way!

So I have let this blog go by the wayside.  I had our fourth baby at the end of 2010 and then I had pretty much no time.  I basically worked on keeping my sanity... and truthfully I don't know how well that turned out yet.  lol 
   Life with four kids has been really busy and fun and crazy.  I spent two years coaching two of my kiddos soccer teams while my husband coached my other son's (baby was 8 mo.) and then I spent the next season coaching two kids teams (baby was 20 mo) while my husband commuted and I packed up our house of almost a dozen years and tried to move. 
  The move continued to be crazy as we looked for a house for 5 months and then have had our hands full repairing and moving in.  The cool thing about moving though is that I got to redecorate.  It has been both fun and frustrating as there was so much to do and well... sooo much to do.  It is slowing a little, but only a little.  However, I thought I would try and share some of the things I have done that I have had fun doing.

Garlands

I thought of this idea after seeing a mobile that looked similar in a magazine. Their's was $50.00 though, so I thought I could come up with something like this. My daughter has the purple butterflies up in her room above her closet and I loved how they turned out. They are about 5-6 feet long with apx. 6 inches in between shapes. Some are on fishing wire so they look like they are flying, others are on a wire, ribbon, or twine. The following are pictures of ones that are available right now. $8.00 White diasies with green dragonflies
