CTMH Convention 2011

Close to My Heart Convention is in Anaheim CA at Disney this year! I am so sad to sit this year's out, however my eyes and ears there are telling me about some HUGE announcements going on. One of my favorite new things is the exclusive CTMH Cricut cartridge! It has over 700 ("Jeanette inspired") designs that will coordinate with the new stamp sets in the new idea book!! How awesome!! Other great things include: new heavier stock B&T paper, lower price and much more! To stay posted go to my "Have Scrappy Days Group - CTMH" on facebook OR click here (maybe this will work!) http://www.facebook.com/MyStampinBuds#!/pages/Have-Scrappy-Days-Group-CTMH/108782995868216

Another Before and After!

Here is our half bath.. (guest bath) We have so many HALF finished projects around here that my new 'goal' is to focus on one thing and complete it!!! LOL Here it is BEFORE: Pale pink walls, UGLY carpet.. total non-matching wall bath accessories... Here is the AFTER:
I wish the picture really showed the pretty color of green that is... Funny story about this bathroom- I had originally painted it a light yellow to brighten it up b/c its SUPER tiny.... BUT the light fixture is one of those fan/lights with a shaded globe and made the whole room look/feel like you were in a warp zone! strange! LOL So paint #3 (after the primer and yellow) New mirror, new towel hangy thingy, new vanity, and new faucet...
Here's the NEW toilet- the other one was pink! Forgot to get that before shot! LOL- new toilet, new toilet paper holder, new trash basket, and new outlet cover!
Check out that tile! YAY!! I would have given anything to have got a better before pic of the carpet- it was the same as the dining room if you want to scroll down.. whew!!
Great news about all this: Total cost of makeover was probably only $300.00. I know thats alot BUT its the complete room- toilet, vanity, tile, mirror, new wall accessories, towel, EVERYTHING! I thought it wasn't bad! The trashcan was $5.00 at hobby lobby and the mirror was $10.00 at hobby lobby! Got the tile at an outlet in a town nearby and had a friend install! Anyway - thanks for looking and listening - cant wait until these posts are scrapbook related again - SOON! That room is NEXT!!!! YAY!
