OOPS!!!!

I think it is going to be one of those days that when things like this happen...

I am really wishing that I was here enjoying this,

while doing this.

I was thinking about painting my floors anyway I guess.

Good thing it cleans up pretty easy.

Hope you are having a good weekend!

A little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That

Any one sick of winter and snow and this crazy weather that we have been having all over the world,

please raise your hand!!

Yeah, I thought so!

Yikes!

We got quite a bit of snow and we were snowed in today but the sun actually did shine for most of the day so that was nice.

I hope those that got hit with the snow are safe and warm.

Please keep those in Australia that are going through a MAJOR, MAJOR devastation right now in your prayers.

You can keep up to date from A-M over at The House that A-M Built.

She has been giving updates and it is just sad to see what is happening over there.

Today while we were snowed in I started on my next project,

My bedroom!!

I know, I know!

But Michelle, didn't you JUST paint your bedroom a couple of months ago??

Why the answer would be yes!

I think I need some serious PA - Painters Anonymous!! :)

I think I heard my hubby say something about an intervention!!

Needless to say I really needed my beachy blues back!

I really liked the coziness of the gray but I am a beach girl and the blues just suit me.

I painted today and I chose one of these colors...

Can you guess which one I chose?

I will show you..

soon!!! :)

hee hee!!!

I also wanted to thank you for your wonderful comments abouts my puff ball flowers over at the Be Mine Bonanza at At Home with K.

I had fun making them and those little suckers are kind of addicting!!!

Thank you again Kindra for hosting!!

I also wanted to thank Cathy over at Check it Off and Brandi over at Don't Disturb This Groove for passing on awards to me!

Please visit these wonderful ladies if you have not already.

Cathy was born in Michigan and now lives in Ohio but we found out that we share that same love of a particular lake where my heart and soul belong!

Glen Lake!!

She is so wonderful and talented and her love of life and the outdoors is so inspiring!

I introduced myself to Brandi a while back after seeing her beautiful picture and sweet comments at blogs that we both follow and she was so sweet and inviting and I am enjoying getting to know her! She is very talented (check out the chair cover she just did here, it is so amazing!) and so very sweet!

I am supposed to tell you some things about me, which you can read here and of course I pass this along to all of you that would love to join in and tell us about you!

I know it say it a lot but I really do love getting to know you!!

Thank you again to all of you for following me and inspiring me and just being my friends!!

See you soon with the paint color that I chose!

Stay safe and warm!

It's Just What I do

Ok, so last week was not greatest for me and I thank everyone for the cyber hugs and encouragement!

I love you all!!

I tend to deal with stress in a certain way to get me through and I am pretty sure that a lot of you out there do the same thing.....

I don't smoke

I don't do drugs

I don't drink (a lot) :)

I don't exercise (although I really should)

I PAINT!!!!

Since I still had a ton of paint left over from my hutch and entry way re-paint, I decided to paint one more room using those colors.

My bedroom!

I know you might be thinking, "Gosh Michelle, aren't you getting a little carried away with that paint?"

The answer to that is, yes, I most likely am. I don't know why I do it, I just get something that I love and then I run with it until I tell myself to stop or I run out of paint!

Here is what it looked like before

Bright and cheery and summery..

I love it!

But, I felt like I needed a change and now it looks like this..

I feel it is still beachy, but in a sandy-colored way. In the summer I can add my aquas here and there but I am really loving the warmth and coziness of the new color.

I purchased the comforter set which came with the comforter, two king shams and three throw pillows at TJ Maxx for about $110.00.

I thought that it was a good price, everywhere I looked the comforters alone were $100 to $200!

My hubby loves gray (and I do too) and I just love the little ruffles to give it that feminine touch!

The sheets I also got at TJ Maxx for about $30 for a king set. I picked out a brown that matches the wood that I have been adding around my house.

Remember my junk shelf that I picked up about a month ago?

I painted that the same way that I painted my Nantucket sign

and added my beach goodies.

I am thinking about adding some curtains to the four posts on my bed but haven't decided for sure on that one.

So, there you have it, some drink, some smoke, and some exercise their stress away,

me,

I paint!!!

I am linking up to parties on my Linky Party tab!
