Mom will craft!!! So, things are finally starting to come together in my living room! It has been a long road - and I am still not done, but it is coming together nicely. Jared gave me the pictures and painting for my birthday. He took the pictures of the kids himself and turned them into what you see. I think they turned out awesome. They really capture the kids' spirit. A friend in our ward is a wonderful oil painter and painted the picture of Jared and I. It is the pose from our engagement picture and she made us look more like we do now (although that just means I look older). It turned out really nice and I love it. My next project for the living room is to fill up the plant shelf that you can barely see in the top of this picture. It is totally bare. I have a couple great ideas of what I want to do there, but it will take a little time! I will keep you posted!!
I made this fun clock face. It was super easy and fun to do.
I think, other than the pictures, this is my favorite thing on the wall. It turned out really fun (if I do say so myself! :))
Then, I moved onto redoing the school wall. It is a little better organized then last year, but still have a couple things I want to get for all their papers and things.
This is in my bedroom. I have a jewelry holder, but it just wasn't cutting it for all my necklaces. So, I just took a couple of old frames and screwed eye hooks in the top and just hung my necklaces from them. It is a fun decoration in my room.

I'm totally impressed with your craftiness, Marci! I love the "Enjoy Chaos" sign, both for its sentiment and because it's so darn cute. Enjoy your nice, quiet kid-less days - I know I am :)
