Baseball Room Headboard

Well, thanks to my wonderful PawPaw, Lucas' baseball headboard is finished! It is too cute for words. See for yourself:It took me forever to find just the five bats I found for free. So I asked him to cut them in half so it looked like we had ten. He used rough cut lumber for the 4x4 posts and the 1x6 boards. I glued old baseballs on the top of the posts and Ta Da!

The Phantom haunts the Fox one last time

On Saturday, Cagney and I went with my parents to The Fabulous Fox Theater to see The Phantom of the Opera on broadway. I loved the movie, but had never seen the show, so my parents (who both love the live show), have been wanting to take me for abut 5 years now. It finally came to town, so we got tickets and I have to say this is the most amazing show I have ever seen. We have been to see many great shows at the Fox but this one tops them all for sure. No doubt about that.
The sad part is, this is the final tour. This was the final show in the southeast. They will still perform in New York and in Las Vegas I believe, but no more US Tour. I am so glad I got to go when I did.

Favorite Bible Verses

Everyone at Kelly's Korner is posting their favorite bible verses. Here are some of mine:

"Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. "
Psalm 55:2

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

This is one that I stopped to think about more. When life gets to be a lot:

"I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
Psalm 16:8

Mirror turned Chalkboard

I bought this old mirror at a yard sale. 3 bucks. It had some potential, I just didn't know what I was going to use it for. Then it hit me! I needed a chalkboard for my office. I had a can of unused chalkboard paint. Time to get to work.

This is the mirror before:

Take it apart:Prime the frame and backside of the mirror:
A couple of coats of chalkboard paint and VOILA:
Now I just need the perfect spot to hang it in my office!
