Bedroom Makeover!

Image
My husband and I (okay, at this point mostly my husband) have spent our January so far remodeling our bedroom.  You cannot image how horrible it was!  We had experienced a water leak which mildewed the carpet, so John had to cut some of the carpet away from the wall.  It remained that way for months. Oh, and the walls -- they were in such desperate need of painting.  The closet doors -- the original funky bamboo accordion doors -- were broken so that anyone could see its contents.  The ceiling, like all our other ceilings, was cracking.  The original aluminum windows were corroded and just plain nasty.

Thank You Cards for Customers

Image
We have some very kind and generous customers, so I always make them thank you cards after we receive their Christmas gift.  I also made a sympathy card for one of our customers who lost his wife. I used some very old yellow paper from Michael's which I bought when I first started scrapbooking. I also used scraps from my purple and yellow cardstock folders.  Coloring was done with Derwent watercolor pencils and a damp paintbrush.  Sentiment stamps are Hero Arts and Anna Griffith.  Image stamp is  Inkadinkado "Botanical Script" .
