Scrapbook Room--Before Shots

I just wanted to share with you what my wonderful husband is doing for me upstairs. For those of you who have never seen my "Space" for scrapbooking, it is basically a collaboration of different old countertops, folding tables, storage containers and crap piled everywhere. It is actually cleaned up for this after shot. Then, last summer I decided to start painting, but never finished, so one wall is brown, one is still white, and one is a brown that turned purple over the top of some yellow. This weekend I had to pack away all of my crap (so no projects for a little while) and he pulled up counters and carpet. We went to RC Willey and took adavantage of 99 cent laminate flooring. I am on my way over to pick that up today. Then tonight (hopefully) we can lay the floor and finish my half finished paint project. After that, it will be full counters and storage. I'm also actually going to have a place to store all of my scrapbooks on big deep bookshelves. I am so excited!

Tucker is Matt's little helper. He carries the hammer around and waits to be told to hit something with it. Then he keeps saying, "Now what, now what Dad????" And the "big boy" underwear just add to the photo, don't they?


The before shot, like the paint?


And for those of you who are following along with Project Life, here is my sweet girl with my first page of Project Life. Since the year started on a Friday, I only have Friday the 1st and Saturday the 2nd on this first page, but you get the gist. I added a few extra photos just to finish up the page. From here on one, there will be seven journals and seven or eight photos on a two page spread. This project is awesome! It's not to late to start taking a photo a day to document your life. I'm having so much fun taking photos of things like dinner on the table and just the mundane things of life that will be so much fun to look back on later. Enjoy!
