We're the midst of moving that means major changes for my family even if we're only going half a mile. For the first time since my daughters were babies they will each have their own room. When my youngest asked to paint her room sunflower yellow, I cringed. No was the immediate answer, but I did counter offer her sunflowers on her wall. Her enthusiasm was so wonderful, I kind of forgot that I don't like paint and stuff. I'm a words and stick figures kind of person. Thank goodness for wall decals! There's always a way.
I went to the local craft store looking for wall decals that I could stick up because I can put stickers on things I'm very good at it. But they didn't have any. They did have a stencil so I picked one up and some acrylic paint because I can put paint in a hole just fine. I took everything home to show my husband we had found a way to make it work.
Maybe this is the point where I mention that I'm what some might call stubborn, but I prefer to think of it as highly focused and motivated. Basically, when I decide to do something I'll make sure it eventually happens and I will usually get it wrong a few times before I get it right. Fortunately for me I married one of those guys who can build anything. He boggles my mind he's so amazing. When he suggested getting out the projector to put the images onto the wall tracing them and painting them I listened. After 16 1/2 years of marriage, never mind all the time we spent dating, I've learned that when he says stuff like that he's right. Don't tell him I said so though. Hopefully he's not reading my blog. So here's the before and the after it's not done by any means not even close it's a work in progress. But, so am I.
