Bringing color to my day...

I have been pretty sad all day since reading about baby Cora's death. It is funny how a little tiny girl, that I have never met, touches me so.

I think as a mother, the thought of losing a child is unbearable. So, thinking of another mother and father having to go through this is gut wrenching.

Hubby had to go take care of a cow with a bad case of lice, so I took the kids to Wal-Mart to have some fun and get out of the house.

With my thoughts not far from Cora's family and friends, I did some creative stuff that was a lot of fun to do. All with my babies dancing and playing at my feet. I am blessed.


I needed a Valentine's Day wreath for my front door. I love grosgrain, so I just bought tons of it and a grapevine wreath, and tied tons and tons of bows.

I am very pleased with how it turned out. And Bram helped as well.

This is our built-in, in our den. It is really nice, but I thought a little boring. SO, at Wal-Mart, I selected a bunch of scrapbooking paper, some adhesive spray glue, took all the knick knacks and shelves down, and went to work.



I am thrilled with how cute it turned out.

That egg on the shelf has our wedding date etched in it. It was a wedding gift from family friends with the last name Egg. One of my favorite things.

The paper looks like it doesn't go all the way to the top, but it does. There is just crown molding in the built ins. Who knew.

I love it and it was a great productive way to get my mind off things. What a sad day.
