Hodge Podge

We've been busy with a bunch of different things this January, so I've decided to post a smorgasbord, just to catch up.


P's room has been the difficult to put together, slowly morphing into what she has envisioned in her head. She had picked out this large dandelion vinyl wall applique from Stampin' Up! and wanted it on the Raspberry Fizz accent wall in her room. We finally got to this task. I love this pic, because you can see just how P rolls - she is definitely Managerial material, overseeing if A is getting the proper placement of each element!


So here is the most current state that P's room has achieved. It is nowhere close to being finished, she has more plans in that pretty little head of hers, but this will satisfy for the time being. As you can see A also hung a Vera Bradley photo board for her to adorn with her favorite pics. What's her next step? She spotted some extra large Gerber daisies at the Michael's the other day and is contemplating how best to use them in her space...we'll see!

This has also been a big week because D started flute lessons. She has wanted lessons for what seems an eternity and she received a coupon for lessons as a Christmas present. Her arms are long enough to reach the keys on the flute; however, the instructor felt that a curved head joint (as seen below) would better suit her now and then she can grow into a regular straight head joint. So her assignment this week is to make sound with just the head joint and she's doing great!

And lastly, just had to share this cute nighttime moment. Ever since D was teeny tiny she has had a white duck as her side kick, which she named DuDuck. I think it is so cute that at 7 1/2 years old she still cuddles with her DuDuck at bedtime. He has so much personality that even though he looks squished, he is lovin' all the cuddlin'. Too precious.
