Super Box Sunday!

When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown!
Isaiah 43:2

Because of Him and because of my friends, that is so so true. I have so many life preservers to be so very thankful for.
I've been needing to do something a little bit emotionally therapeutic lately, besides venting here and appearing to be a total nut-job, which I may be, but that's beside the point right now. I've been needing to take some of this "whatever" and focus it on something productive. A Small Victory is having a memory box painting party next weekend and sure, I'd like to go but it's a little over three hours from here so I figured that instead of having a Super Bowl party today, I'd have my own little Super Box party. I would have liked to have done a few more (I really wanted to paint seven) but seriously, this was all of the stock that Michael's had. So, I grabbed my paints and got to work!


I wasn't sure where I was going to end up when I started. I didn't have anything particular in mind but I hope they turned out ok for Liz and sadly, for the families who will be receiving them.


A little tid-bit, the pink is what Karleigh's room was, the green is what it is now and the blue is what Rylan's room is painted. That just happens to be the way it worked out with what I picked up. There's also a little note on card stock inside. It was nice to work on them but sad to know that someone else was going to be receiving them.


We also went to IKEA today to pick up a new dresser and a bedside table for Karleigh's room. The bedside table is in and Jim is building the dresser as I type this. I know, I know, some of you are wanting a peek at her room...


... but only a little peek. Hopefully, I'll get it finished up, in full, this week. And then, it's on to Rylan's room!

Kristi - they are gorgeous. The ones at our hospital were so ugly I didnt want one!
Perhaps for Caden's birthday I should do the same, make some nice ones to donate to the hospital...
Seriously, they were so bad...
