Curtains & Handprints

I am getting so close to finishing my girl's hot pink & zebra room!

I finally made their curtains. This really makes the room look complete, and actually isn't very encouraging to make their bedspreads like I thought it would be.
I guess it makes the room look so complete I don't think you would even notice their beds. How often are they really made anyways?! Maybe that will be my motivation. They will learn to make their beds every morning if I make these bedspreads...

And I also finished a project we started a year ago. Using leftover plaster from another project we did these handprints. Little did I know how I would treasure these.
I put the date that we made them on the bottom because this was the day I got the call that my dad had passed away. So it's a nice little thing to have hanging in their room.

I used a pie plate to hold the plaster while they pressed their hands and it dried.
A year later, I spray painted them black and then painted in the rest with a brush (not necessary to wait the year to paint).
I had to do something with them other than the plain ol' handprints.

Now about those bedspreads...

Maybe I'll Call It "Deal of the Month"

Ok, so I didn't stick with doing a "Deal of the Week."
Oops. Guess I didn't find anything that stood out since June.

But I did just get back from Walgreens and got 9 cent folders (with brads). Surely that counts.

There are too many good deals to mention if you coupon like a crazy person. So I'll just mention good deals when I get one. :)
