Ok, I have never been really big on New year resolutions... I have no follow through. I was feeling a little stagnant yesterday so I wrote down a few things I want to accomplish this year. Maybe you all can come help.
I am going to paint the entire basement (apt side and all). The celing needs done upstairs, but I just don't think I have it in me, not even just to write it down. You all know how decorating challenged I am so I need ideas on color. I am also going to use my new surger to sew curtains for the entire basement (4 lg windows). Again color suggestions will be welcome. Trever needs a big person sized quilt for his bed. The baby ones just aren't following his body as he rolls in the big bed.
So I have several sewing projects to do. I also make hooded towels now, and I want to try to sell them this year. Those of you who I have made towels for your kids, if people admire them, tell them where they can buy them for a decent price.
The boys are getting older and just don't need my constant attention like they used to so I want to be productive this year. We were thinking of hiring someone to do the painting, but we decided to save the money and try to get a new truck and a camping trailer this year. We would love to take a big vacation each year but with Jason's health it is sometimes hard to rack up enough hours to get away. We can however take more advantage of his every other friday off and take small camping trips with the kids. So that is the goal. Have more fun this year and less serious, never go anywhere work. We'll see what happens.
I always say I want to be more healthy, but I really really need to loose some weight. So I am starting out small. For the first three months this year my goals are to only drink diet when I have a soda. (Diet Mt. dew isn't too bad.) Walk the dog at least 5 nights a week. And continue my endevors to have balanced, somewhat healthy meals. After a couple of months I will try to add a few more goals. I do want to be successful and I know if I try to go too fast I will just bag the whole thing.
So I will keep pleanty of paint brushes on hand for you all. : ) And I anxiously look forward to hearing some good color suggestions.
Happy new year everyone. Let me know your goals this year.

Well, wish we were there! AGAIN! We all love to paint. Hope you have a blast. What colors do you really like? I like the colors in mom and dad's room. I think the white and deep tan are pretty classy.
I'm trying to be a better grocery shopper this year. I still don't quite get how to get the super savings like carian, but maybe I'll figure it out.
I love the deep tan and white as well. It just looks so good. And then any other colors will go with it. I am on a chocolate brown kick right now. My bedroom is light blue, tan and chocolate brown, my living room is red and chocolate brown, and I really want to do my basement tan with a chocolate brown sectional and then have a burnt orange for an accent....but that won't happen anytime soon....
Oh, and I emailed you that recipe you asked for, I want to make sure you got it. Sometimes my hotmail and yahoo mail don't get along.....
Happy redecorating!

It was so good seeing you guys over the Christmas break....I'm seriously so happy you made it! I'm not much of a painter and have a hard time choosing.... I love looking at magazines but then it puts a whole lot of choice into the decision....we have always gone with tan walls with white trim because you then can accent with anything and it matches all pictures that you want to hang. But it gets a little boring a nice accent wall might be fun. Hope all is well with all of you.
