my latest project.

Ok, so *technically* it was a joint project since Tony made the knobs smaller & drilled the holes for it, but I'll still claim it as mine.

I had an old sign I'd picked up at Goodwill for pretty cheap that was sitting in the garage.  I have been keeping all my old necklaces in this organizer thing I bought in Japan that basically had them all bunched up.  So I decided to make a necklace holder.

Above is the sign before.  I sanded it a bit, spray painted it, then had Tony drill the holes.  He accidentally drilled two extra holes but I looped some ribbon through to create earring holders instead of filling the holes & repainting.

& here is the end result.  I think it's pretty & it finally adds some sort of decor to our master bathroom, which has been empty up until today. :)

resolutions.

In 2013, I resolve these things:

1) Keep up with this blog.  I anticipate if I do this one thing, it will help with my sanity while Tony is gone.

2) Continue to keep up with my reading of scripture by the bible in a year plan.

3) Work harder to get out of debt so my family can live the way God intended.

4) Exercise often.  Eat healthy.  Etc.  We say this every year & rarely stick with it.  I FULLY intend to do so so as not to gain all the weight I've lost.

5) Work on patience with my children & my husband.

6) ACTUALLY stick to the things that I resolve to do.


What are your plans for the New Year?  I hope it brings love & prosperity to all of you.

(oh, & also?  I will do AT LEAST one or two pinterest projects per month.)
