{I LOVE It!}
DIY Mantle and Fireplace Makeover:
Cost: <$100. 00 for Paint & Bricks.
I'm Not Counting the Flooring-
because We are Putting it
throughout the Main Level,
Nevertheless,
We Did find the Flooring OnLine
For a 1/3 of the Cost
Than We found it
at Local Retail Stores.
[Score-a-Rue-Nee]
The Finished Project
Yet, I will Not Reveal It ALL,
Until the New Floor is In.

Where Does the Time Go?
School Started,
We Headed Out for Dinner
The Dress Code was Dirt,
and
The Dinner was Slightly Burned,
But the View,
From the Table,
Couldn't Be Beat.
Remember THIS?
Here's To A Couple More:
This was an Old Hutch We've Had
For EVER!
It was Pretty Beat Up and Needed Stabilizing.
I Used Bead Board to Help Stabilize it,
Then Painted and Antiqued it
and Put on New Knobs.
My Husband Kept Telling Me
that It was Looking Pretty Grody.
Now?
He Says It May be His FAVORITE Piece of Furniture!

This Project that I'm about to Show Next,
Is Only Semi Done in These Pictures:
CURRENTLY
Working on Adding
Brick and New Flooring.
The Boys Earned Their Black Belts
In Their Little Dragon's Program,
So Now They are Moving Up
into the Older Kids' Program,
and Donning Some Preeee-ty
Fine Lookin'
GOLD BELTS
During The Belt Ceremony,
They have the Students who Are Graduating
Out of The Little Dragons Program
Show Off Their Dazzling Moves
Not Too Shabby, Eh?
[We're So Proud of Them!]
