My new Wall Map!!!

Thanks to my friend over on another blog---I wrote a company about a Wallzilla Map.  This map has adhesive on the back and can be placed on a wall without damaging the wall...picture to follow later.
Check out my review for my FREE map!  Can't get much better than that!!!  I love reviewing products.  I wish I had the ability to make photos that I could stick on the wall like this.  It's amazingly easy with zero bubbles!!!

Maps.com�s World Deluxe Political Wall Map contains vibrant colors combined with an abundance of information making it suitable for use in business, education, or reference. This World wall map...

I received this free to review from Wallzilla. I am a home school mom of four and I need a large map that I can refer to. We also are in limbo as far as where we live. We will be moving in the next year, so I need a map like this one that I can remove and stick up in another location! I was so impressed at how it didn't bubble at all. My husband did help with this hanging because this was a very large map. I am so excited to have this in our home schooling area...and be able to take it with us when we move and not damage this rent house we are in!! Thank you!!

The yellow mat progresses....

here it is...in the next stage of painting...see post below, if you have no idea what I am talking about.

Projects...Purchases.

 This first picture is done by my friend, Kim,--sometimes others have a vision for things that I don't.  Kim used an old door and the hangers and created my entry piece!

This is my project that I just started...we shall see if it works out well.  I am painting a rug/mat...this is the primer coat...I'll journal my way through it.  If it flubs, you may never see the end product---depends on how brave I am!  My camera is on the blink--it's my Russian small camera...and it's not working right now...bummer, so I had to use my daughter's ipod touch.  Yes, she is more techy than I am--by my choice.  I do NOT need anything else to distract me!  So, do they always take such a grainy picture...I'm not impressed.  My daughter bought her own ipt, so no big deal...she loves it!
UPDATE:  camera is still broken, but mat is now yellow...still working SLOWLY!

Boys Dresser

After my oldest son saw the girls dresser, he felt that he and Matthew were being "cheated" by just getting a black dresser(even though it had to be redone to be black).  So, he picked out the color on each drawer of the above dresser!  I counted incorrectly on the drawer handles...so I need to return one kind and get an extra of the other kind.  I'm very pleased with his choice of colors!  Fun!!  He does not feel cheated any longer because he has a "crazy" dresser too!  We bought both pieces at a second hand store for under $200 and dressed them up for less than 50 extra bucks!  Nice!
