My latest project... I found these bamboo shades for $12 at BigLots and I spent $3 on white acrylic paint to make the vertical lines. I used white curtains that I already had in a different room. So $15 total for this window treatment. :)

St. Patrick's Day...

The kids had a fun St. Patrick's Day at school but tonight they were so afraid of leprechauns that they all slept together in Erin's bed. David slept on the outside edge with a ballpoint pen in his hand so he could protect the girls and stab any leprechauns that came near. I also had to spray a perimeter of anti-leprechaun spray (glade air freshener) for peace of mind :)
