  3. What great ideas! I LOVE that play room! And the hallway make-over was super (For Christmas, my Aunt got me "Dombey and Son" by Charles Dickens: it is 30 CD's which is 360 hours of listening!!!!! I think I'll get LOTS of projects done on that one!! I love the old classics and it does make those long projects go by in a fun way.) Love all the projects you showed: so creative!! Thanks for doing these parties!!

  4. Also, I just read your "Homeschooling" section on here, and it was really great! I home-school also, and I have a teaching degree, but I still feel quite overwhelmed like I'm not sure I know what I'm doing. But it truly is VERY rewarding. :)
