Hello !

It's been awhile since I've been able to post anything.

After 10 performances, our Savior of the World production

finally came to a close. It was such an enjoyable experience

for me, especially having Cara and Hannah there to share it with.

I now have time to spend with my husband and my extended family!

Well, as I shared with you earlier, I have been going through some

changes in my house. We ripped up all the old marble tile in the kitchen

and downstairs bathroom and replaced it with Italian porcelain tile. We

then ripped out the carpet in the living room, dining room and stairway and

replaced it with new, up to date carpet. I'm very happy with it.....

Come in and take a tour!

This is an arrangement I made today to brighten up the

corner we have next to the fireplace.

Mike wanted something with an island theme to go

with the sea turtle piece we bought in Hawaii.

Here is our finished fireplace; it sure makes the room feel cleaner.

Maybe because it is!

Now I have to share what we did in Hannah's room.

We wanted to paint the wall's after she moved into

Blake's old room. She decided she would like a waterfall

on one wall so I hired Susie Sims, a muralist in our ward

to come and do her magic.

Here is how it came to be.

And she does it all freehand!

No sketching it out beforehand.

I was amazed by her talent; and Hannah loved it.

Now we're in the process of decorating with an island theme in her room.
