if I were rich and wasteful

If I were rich and a Disney princess, I would:
  • Redo the guest bathroom: white walls, red trim, black mickey mouse shower curtain, red rug..or perhaps a Snoopy shower curtain?
  • Pay someone to repair the wallpaper in the dining room
  • Pay someone to paint the study in the way I want it painted. :)
  • Buy one of those monster frames and a quilting sewing machine to go with it
  • Take four big trips a year (shoot, just one big trip would be nice, but since I'm daydreaming, why not make it four?)
  • Have a professional install blinds and valance boxes in the living room
  • Have Bobby's yellow chair from the 70's re-upholstered
  • fly home to see my Mom once a month
  • Have our own private jet that was wheelchair accessible...how cool would that be?
  • Have a vacation home in the mountains
  • have a time-share at the beach
  • buy the farm across the road from us
  • put cows, donkeys, and horses on that farm for Bobby and hire a foreman to take care of them :) {Hahaha...the British have butlers; southerners have farmhands!)
  • Open a quilt store but only work there two days a week. 
  • Have five different chicken pens so I could raise different breeds
  • I would buy my own publishing company so they'd have to publish my books.
I love daydreaming! But the beeper on the dryer is telling me that my time is up and I need to put myself in gear and get things done before church time.  And if I come to your house and you have a Snoopy or Mickey Mouse shower curtain, I'll do my utmost not to be jealous. :)

I'll help you make valance boxes. I used to do them for JCPenney when I worked in custom decorating. All you need is a staple gun, fabric, batting and cornice board kits. Or plywood and jigsaw and hardware to put it all up. And I could help you hang the blinds too if you want outside mount. I'm scared of inside mount, afraid I'll mess up the frame and sill. Sorry I can't help with the other stuff- I'd love to try my hand at upholstery though!

Wait...it's almost March?!?

 10 more months 'til Christmas. This last month has been an absolute blur. Cleaning at Mrs. Bryan's house, cleaning at our house, lo...
