Before picture. It was nice but all white and the grout was getting stained and cracking and some tiles were cracking.

So here it is after we started tearing off the tiles. We had holes in the wall and we had to fill them, adding a couple of days to the project.Kevin and Vern putting in the cut counter top.
Oops no one measured how wide the countertop was and now the door wont open.....back to the drawing board!!
Kevin cutting tiles. The kitties are taking notes for future projects.

Making some progress

Fresh home from one of many trips to Home Depot.

All done and pretty.



All my favorite colors!

I found a really cool online store. She has the best sales ever! She has a dollar section that has items in it that were originally up to $14.99 and I found a lot of cool current stuff for 75% off as well. This is what I got $24.98. I love the wings board book and the cupcake board book. I cut back my spending 90% from last year so it's nice to get a big box in the mail full of great deals!!

I have went back and forth with myself regarding my scrapbooking hobby. I have spent a lot of time and money over the last few years buying supplies. It is something I enjoy. I love the projects I have made. I have found ways to combine my passion for photography and scrapbooking. I came to a point where none of my friends were scrapbooking anymore. I scaled back on my shopping for a little while. I have enough stuff to scrapbook for many years and still not be out of product! I have thought about it and I decided that I really love scrapbooking. I will find new scrapbooking friends and if I dont I will just scrapbook by myself and with my online friends. I will not spend the amount of money I was spending but I will occasionally buy a couple things here and there. I dont spend money on some things other people do so I am not overspending anyways. I dont drink or do drugs LOL I enjoy time alone in my scrapbook room going through my stash and looking through old photos. If that is all I ever do I will be happy with that. Im not going to let it bother me anymore :) I am what I am says Popeye!

That being said, I have to show you some things I love. Every 6 months they come out with a whole new set of stuff.
