Here is my new room addition

We finally finished the New addition this past Saturday.  I am so glad to have it done.  Here are some pics of the new room before we started moving Destiny's stuff in there.


We did all the inside work ourselves.  We had the framing, and Vinyl on the outside done by someone else.  We put in all the insulation , the drywall, finished all the drywall, installed the Laminate wood flooring, painted and added all the molding.


I did all the drywall mud and sanding, added the bead board paneling and all the trim.  My husband helped with the baseboard molding but the rest I did myself. he did have to help me hold up the crown molding while I nailed it in place as they were 10 ft long and I couldn't hold it up and nail at the same time.
My husband put in the ceiling fan, which I love.  He also went up into the attic and added all the insulation.
I put 2 coats of High Gloss Ultra white paint to all the molding, Bead Board, closet doors and the French doors,




Here's pic's of the closet.



We only added a small hanging bar  and the rest are shelves.


Here is the piece of carpet that I bought to make a huge rug out of( it's 12x8 ft).
We also added drywall mud to the ceiling to added decoration and try to hide the Plywood ceiling so we wouldn't have to add drywall and fight to get it mudded and sanded.


Well now you can see why I have been so MIA here over the past 2 months.
One day this will be my craftroom, but until then it is Destiny's new bedroom. I painted my son Bailey's new room( his sister's old room) Sunday and he moved his stuff in on Monday night.  All I have left to do is paint Jazmine's room and the hallway, then I need to clean my carpets with all the traffic in and out over the past 2 months the kids have made the carpets so dirty.

Well I hope you like the new room.  I love it and I think I love it more because we did all the work ourselves.

Play me some music with Saturated Canary

I know I have been MIA for what feels like forever now.  My new room is almost finished.  I will show you pics when I it is done.  In the process of doing the new room I have messed up my right hand to the point where I couldn't even hold a pencil much less my copics to color.  It is still sore but I finally have use of it.
I hope to get back to my normal creating self by the next few weeks.  Tonight I added some crown molding to the room and we still like adding the selves in the closest and the closet doors.  Then I can add another coat of paint to all my baseboards and moldings then it will be time for Destiny to move her stuff in it and then I can start painting the other 2 bedrooms for the kids.

Well today I have a card to share with you that I created for our new Challenge over at
This weeks challenge is 
Anything Goes
I decided to pull out my kraft paper and Prismacoloring pencils for this one.


I used some Bo Bunny paper, flourish dies, felt flowers, brads and some ribbon.


Hopefully you will get a chance to play along with us this week.

I hope that I will soon be able to start getting on the computer again and have some relaxing time as I haven't had any in the past 2 months and I so need it and for my house to get back to normal.
I miss all of you and hope to visit as soon as I can.
Sending each one of you HUGE HUGS!!!
