Free to Fly

For those that don't know me well, I am a TERRIBLE procrastinator! I will postpone anything I can...I mean anything! I cram for tests, crash diet, speed clean. You name it, I can delay it. Then I get these sudden bursts of energy and try to get everything done.

Well...I finally got motivated in O's room. The butterfly I made for her birthday (in January) finally was hung. The colors really do match nicely. Then I was going put the butterflies I won from WallCandy Arts on the wall with it. WRONG! It made my head hurt because the wall was so busy. So, plan B. I still have not decided how to finish this wall...it will come to me. I'm open for suggestions.



The butterflies migrated (HA!HA!) to the other wall...


Please hold your comments about the window brackets with no window treatments. I'm still working on that too!

I L.O.V.E. how they turned out! And O loves them too. My prize was 170 of these beauties and I used almost every single one.

There is one major flaw with what WallCandy has done...there are lots on bright butterflies but only a few pastels. Not an even mix at all. The large only came in right blue and bright pink. So that is when I thought I should layer them to break it up.

Thanks to everyone that voted so I could win this fantastic prize. O thanks you too! I really have great friends! If you are interested in ordering from WallCandy, use the code BLOGSUPPORT20 for 20% off your purchase!

Gotta fly!

We Win!

Since I am in the middle of the kitchen redo, the rest of the house is on hold. There are NO window treatments in the entire house and very little on the walls. It is really quite sad. I feel really bad for the kids. It would be great to get their rooms done but I can only do (and spend) so much. {Sigh}

Last week I entered L's room in a contest with wallcandy arts to will free stuff. L's room is decorated with the DottiLicious wall art. She LOVES it and so do I! The stickers are reusable and TRULY leave no marks on the wall when you remove them. You can apply them to walls or furniture...almost anything.

And...{drum roll please} WE WON! Actually, we KILLED the competition! Did L have the most creative room? NO! Did she have the fanciest room? NO! She doesn't even have drapes! But I am resourceful and emailed most of my friends about it with the link and posted the link on mine and hubby's Facebook page. We won by 100+ votes!! Thanks to all that voted! Yeah! FREE STUFF!!!

Today I found out that I can choose any wallcandy that I want (I wasn't even sure what the prize was). I chose the Flutterflies to use in O's room! I had been stalking these on Amazon and ebay but didn't want to pay the $50! She is sooooo excited and so is her sister. L feels like she did something special to help O. I plan to have the flutterflies trail off from the large butterfly I made O for her birthday!
