Saturday Smiles: Progress on Projects

This morning, John and I got up early and headed down to the temple.  What a great way to start the day! 

When we returned home, we tackled some projects.  The "Room of Requirements" continues to take shape.  Crown moulding and baseboards are in the future plans (as is furniture!), but for now we are just enjoying the paint color and the newly-hung curtains.  What do you think?

It's hard impossible to tell from the first photo what the pattern on the curtains is.  The third photo is a close-up of the fabric. 




Tonight, I worked on a huge project--the family photos.  My poor kids have photo albums that have been stuck in time for about 10 years or so.  It is seriously time for me to update them (the albums, not the kids.) 





It's going to get worse before it gets better, I'm afraid.  I don't want to even think about the digital files I need to sort through. 

Our mantra lately has been, "little by little."  It's amazing what improvements can be made one baby step at a time.  We're not done with our projects, but I'm pleased with what we've accomplished so far. 

Thankful thought:  Thanks for projects.  As long as I have projects, I will never be bored.  (And I can't imagine running out of projects!)

This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
