I’m am currently in the wonderful state of Wyoming, I’m a Melanoma survivor, wife of a wonderful man, and mommy of twin girls and another little girl who I swear is a 14 year old in a 4 year old body. We are currently expecting our first little man to our bunch and cant wait for that adventure. (He has to come out sometime right!?) We just finished building our first house and I cant wait to make it into our home. I have so many ideas running through my head sometime I cant sleep!

Hello Readers!

Hope you had an awesome weekend. We sure did! NOT!!

We ALL got hit with that flu bug going around and it’s still not over.  I have 4 kids staying home today.

Do you guys follow Maskara?

If you don’t you have been living in a hole! She is AMAZING!

Anyways, she posted this picture of some art in her office and I fell in love with it.

I wanted something similar for my twins room, so I came up with this.

I did it in gold, light pink and darker pink and cream. All I did was get some quarter-inch press board from home depot and got a yard stick and went around the board drawing lines in a star burst pattern.  Then I hand painted all the triangles in whatever color I felt like I wanted it to be. I didn’t paint every triangle; I skipped some so some of the wood would come through. Then I sanded it down a bit so it was a little muted and not so contrasting.

I really love how it turned out.  I know that sometimes I start a project and it turns out really crappy and I scrap the whole thing. Well, this one is a keeper!

My 2014 Word

Have you ever picked a word for the year?

Something that you can look at and remember what your goals and aspirations are.

I haven’t ever done it, so I thought this year I would.

Let me tell you that trying to find a word is not so easy. So, I just let the word come to me. I knew something would just jump out at me and say BOO! This is it this is what you need to focus on this year.

Well it came to me.

This is my word for the new year

Embrace my Heavenly Father, really know him!
