Daddy-Daughter Date Night 2013

I thought last year might very well be the last Daddy-Daughter Date night Terry and Aubrey attended.  I am so glad Aubrey was willing to go with her daddy at least one more time.  They had a blast and danced to all but a couple of songs, I'm told.  Special Times = Precious Memories!

A Little Sparkle

Shortly after we moved, Kaitlyn dreamed up the idea of having fabric panels between each piece of trim on the window wall of her bedroom and she wanted it to be bright and blingy, of course. Ovcr Christmas Break, JoAnn's was having a great sale on the fabric Kaitlyn wanted to use and I had a coupon for the batting so Grandma Judy and I took her to get it all picked out and purchased.  Finally in March, I got the itch to actually do something about it so Terry and I went to Adams Lumber to get 4x8 1/4" sheets of mahogany underlayment.   Armed with the knowledge that Aunt Cindy was in town and she and Grandma Judy had "nothing better to do" (ha, ha), I invited them to come over and help me with this project.  Terry measured and cut each panel for us -- none of them were the same size. We cut batting  to fit each panel and glued it down, then wrapped it with the fabric and used the staple gun to attach it.  Thank you, Terry, for continually reloading it for us!  Terry used an air nailer with little brads to attach the panels to the wall.  Grandma Judy is planning to make a curtain out of the remaining fabric.

    Blingy fabric up close -- we used turquoise, hot pink, lime green, purple and silver.

 The two ladies I have to thank -- They made this project go so much smoother and faster!

.....and after!

This project was also a great way to keep me busy while Kaitlyn was at Bravettes try-outs.

Congratulations, Senior Bravette!
