<div style="text-align: center;">
Several months ago i found this wreath on Pinterest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was love at first sight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="P3091850 copy" src="http://pattyschaffer.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451dea169e201310f9de385970c-550wi" />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pattyschaffer.typepad.com/capture_the_details/2010/03/monday-make-it-spring-baby-grass-wreath.html">via</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought is was THE most creative wreath I had ever seen and couldn't wait to try it for my self.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought all my supplies and spent 2 hours carefully wrapping the fun fur 'grass' around the Styrophoam making sure that when I wrapped it I didn't lay it down on the previously wrapped 'grass'. Yeah, 2 hours later I was pleased as punch. I glued on my little flowers and I had some large rick rack that I tied into a bow. I took it out to my front door to photograph and it slipped out of my hand and slammed down to the bricks and busted up into 4 pieces. I could not believe it!! I was soooo pissed! Seriously, how does Styrophoam crack apart like that?? I picked up the 4 pieces with the yarn going everywhere and threw it onto the table. My husband came home and said, what happened here and I said, you tell me. I told him I was done that I did not have it in me to wrap it all again for 2 hours on a new wreath. He secretly glued the pieces back together for me and said all I had to do was to figure out the wrapping. Some is still in tack, some is in long loops, so I am going to have to cut some of it and rewrap, but not nearly what I would have. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So stay tuned for my craft wreath gone bad, but saved in the end...</div>

OMG, I can't even stand it!!<br />
Wanna know what has gotten my britches in such a fit???<br />
<br />
Here is one guess...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
YEP, I am going to the <a href="https://www.anniesloanunfolded.com/event/index.php">Annie Sloan Chalk Paint workshop</a> in Chicago this weekend!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know, right?!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wanted to go and then I told myself, well I just went to a class in New Jersey when <a href="http://bestfurniturepaint.com/">Classic Wall Finishes</a> hosted a class in September, and I got to meet sisters Patty and Karen, who are fabulous stockists in NJ. I learned so much from them!! How did I get from the Midwest to NJ? I went to visit family in NYC but took one day out to go to the workshop. I took a cab from my brothers apartment, to the train station, then the train for an hour to Eatontown NJ, then another cab to the hotel, and I was coming all the way from ST. LOUIS!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This time, it is a 5 hour car ride with a friend of mine,who wasn't going to go either, until we both said, we won't have an opportunity to take a class from THE Annie Sloan herself for who knows how long!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You only live once right?!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I still cant believe we are going, and will leave for Chi town tomorrow afternoon!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stay tuned, I am sure there will be LOTS to share and post about!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Gotta go pack, and grab my books for THE Annie Sloan to autograph!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
WWWEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!</div>

We both felt that beneath the fun of Pinterest lay a powerful platform, one that if leveraged well could prove quite the upper hand for people and brands. We set off to create a new service offering valued insight into the activity on Pinterest, and just recently launched with the PinClout score, which scores members based on a series of elements and activities.</span>

I am not sure how they come up with the score. Possibly how much activity you have on your boards as well as you Pinning others boards.<br />
I think it is kinda cool how much socialization has come from Pinterest.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I for one am thinking of starting a 12 step program, Pinners anonymous. Message me if you want to know about the upcoming meetings.</div>

It can be a craft, furniture refinishing, anything DIY, a recipe, tips or tutorials, I am not picky! There are some rules, but not to many and they are not too strict. If you would like to have a chance to be featured, make sure you follow these simple rules.</span><br />

<li>Be a follower of a wee Meenit.</li>
<li>Make sure to add my button to the post you are linking up. </li>
<li>Try to look around at fellow link ups. Sometimes something that doesn't look that interesting in a space the size of a postage stamp can be deceiving, but if you click it anyway, you will be amazed at all the stuff you could have missed.</li>
<li>no giveaways or Etsy shops</li>

I guess you are gonna have to head over and decide<br />

Next is this <a href="http://ponderedprimedperfected.blogspot.com/2012/02/wildhorses-i-wanna-be-like-you.html">White Wild Horse Book end</a> that <b><span style="color: #741b47;">Sherry</span></b> from <i>Pondered Primed Perfected (P3) </i>found. It had a wood finish on it that had seen better days. She decided to just paint it white and I think it shows off all the detail even better now. And she is not limited to just using it as a book end either!</div>

I LOVE the <a href="http://comfortablycarriedaway.blogspot.com/2012/02/sticky-icky-ewww.html">Icky Dresser redo</a> that <span style="background-color: #38761d;">Carrie</span> at <i>Comfortably Carried Away</i> tackled!
She made this stencil herself and cut it our of clear contact paper. OK. Really??
All that detail? Amazing to me!!! I am about to start a redo on my daughters
room and I think this is the perfect look for the dresser (that I have not found yet! LOL) </div>

Styrofoam ball<br />
crepe paper color of your choice<br />
hot glue<br />
Styrofoam hearts on stick (dollar tree)<br />

To make the one below I used the same technique I did on my <i><a href="http://aweemeenit.blogspot.com/2011/12/scrappy-burlap-tree-diy.html">Scrappy Burlap Tree</a> </i>I did<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
for Christmas. You can see that technique <a href="http://aweemeenit.blogspot.com/2011/12/scrappy-burlap-tree-diy.html"><b>here</b></a>. The only difference is that I used pink and made a heart shape first, then the white around it. I actually cut the pink a bit shorter after I had it glued on. I also trimmed the white to make it more even and circular. (OK fine, cause I am a hairdresser and I love to cut things! Happy??)</div>

I bought a pack of hard foam hearts on red sticks at the dollar store. I just carefully twisted off the heart from the stick and turned it around so that the bottom of the heart is now the 'arrow' in the front, and carefully pushed it into the foam and then hit it with a dollop of hot glue.</div>

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">You can link up anything you are proud of. It can be a craft, furniture refinishing, anything DIY, a recipe, tips or tutorials, I am not picky! There are some rules, but not to many and they are not too strict. If you would like to have a chance to be featured, make sure you follow these simple rules.</span><br />
<ol style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">
<li>Be a follower of a wee Meenit.</li>
<li>Make sure to add my button to the post you are linking up. </li>
<li>Try to look around at fellow link ups. Sometimes something that doesn't look that interesting in a space the size of a postage stamp can be deceiving, but if you click it anyway, you will be amazed at all the stuff you could have missed.</li>
<li>no giveaways or Etsy shops</li>
</ol>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up is<i> Conversation Heart Specimen Art</i> from <b>Cassity</b> at <a href="http://www.remodelaholic.com/2012/02/conversation-heart-specimen-art-valentines-decor/">Remodelaholic</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is so stinking cute. I was going to do this, bought the bags of hearts and the frame, except I got lazy and started to snack on the bag. With help. From Wyatt. I wonder if they will attract ants or would you have to make new every year? I still love it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://myfriedoreos.blogspot.com/2012/01/were-going-to-chapel.html"><img height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirpX8kVe3jcLmp-WvlzzqSFRb4YxIfyMt6wCQFhg7t5b5377q-fqn024py-M0fTWpjdSPJkGBCCl-FwAq7QfmOu6rXpQ2vjZ9JCH5-j9eCvqRpiTcOCQOt70PibOW6Z8L-eBCr2UUZly2q/s640/img_4274.jpg" width="640" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next is this gorgeous bouquet of <i>Wedding Flowers</i> from <b>Marissa</b> over at <b><a href="http://myfriedoreos.blogspot.com/2012/01/were-going-to-chapel.html">Fried Oreos</a></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the twine wrapped stems and just enough bling on top to make it sparkle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not a florist either, but I have done wedding flowers, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and know how frightening they can be to do. You can NOT screw up a brides bouquet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great job!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.myheartsdesireblog.com/2012/02/sopapilla-cheesecake.html"><img height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXSu_5gmayM5MhkLe5q9LdrL-pRcTRf6BqdfY6O8vvn2H0-h9sS80XNf5cqq8ustbpNw1jxZjdbcSZP_zs1393m6Iubr7qEMu0KZYNpxKM951vjLiargAA7iW2BJ83uSm2lo_xGNya0Zk/s640/DSC_0018-1.JPG" width="640" /></a>

And finally <i>Sopapilla </i>Cheesecake from <b>Amanda</b> over at <a href="http://www.myheartsdesireblog.com/2012/02/sopapilla-cheesecake.html">My Hearts Desire</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This looks so delish! And I have everything I need already! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks so simple, I could let my kids make it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not the greatest baker in the world. I tend to leave things out, or miss measure/calculate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe my husband can make these with the kids. And I can just be quality control.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for linking up you stuff! I look forward to see what everyone is doing out there, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but more so with people who want to share there stuff directly with me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I am guessing from the girl it is from about the 20's-30's. The small Mercury glass to the right of it is real Mercury glass. It was my husbands Great Grandmothers. I usually have it tucked away in safe keeping. Did you know Mercury glass actually has no Mercury in it? Back when Silver was all the rage, the people who could not afford it, bought 'Mercury looking glass' to fool you. Funny how it is more popular now than the Silver.</div>

So I have been trying to organize over here at the old homestead. My cabinets and closets are in shambles.<br />
Not exciting enough to share with you though, maybe when they are all done, I will do a photo collage.<br />
I did find a dresser for my bedroom over the weekend.<br />
I originally thought it would work in my daughters room, but it is too long. I then remembered that I have a mound of clothes on a chair in my bedroom. It has been in several different stages, from absolutely clean to piled high with clean clothes. It never occurred to me that I may need a BIGGER dresser!!<br />
<br />
I am in the middle of redoing the Mater bedroom and here are a few elements already in the room.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thinking of doing this finish on the bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have an antique armoire that my husband does not want me to paint, and it is a nice rich brown. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not too dark and not too light. I am ok with alot of different neutrals in the room. So here are some thoughts...</div>
eitherer way, I am going to prime the entire thing, it has a bit of a smell, not too bad, but I do not want to smell it at all. SO I have bought the primer and the paint.<br />
I am thinking about black.<br />
But I am unsure about the drawers.<br />
So here is a peek at them...<br />

See how the scrolls come off the handles? I am keeping the handles, so do I want to just paint the handles a different color and keep the rest black or do I want to accentuate the scrolls off the handles.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See how this black is trimmed out in white? I am thinking of painting the scrolls in white or silver. But my only hesitation is that there are 9 drawers, and that could be good or bad. Busy enough or too busy??</div>

But...</div>

I know, I know, it was supposed to start on Wednesday, and it is Friday, I get it.<br />
My husband has been out of town all week and I have been helping an old friend who is just a train wreck in her marriage, personal life, as a mother and a <strike>recovering</strike> alcoholic.<br />
So just bare with me, hubby is home and friend went back to her husband, against my better judgement.<br />
<br />
SO on to the party!!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">You can link up anything you are proud of. It can be a craft, furniture refinishing, anything DIY, a recipe, tips or tutorials, I am not picky! There are some rules, but not to many and they are not too strict. If you would like to have a chance to be featured, make sure you follow these simple rules.</span><br />
<ol style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">
<li>Be a follower of a wee Meenit.</li>
<li>Make sure to add my button to the post you are linking up. </li>
<li>Try to look around at fellow link ups. Sometimes something that doesn't look that interesting in a space the size of a postage stamp can be deceiving, but if you click it anyway, you will be amazed at all the stuff you could have missed.</li>
<li>no giveaways or Etsy shops</li>
</ol>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">
That's it!!</div>

My laundry room is as small as an outhouse. Room enough for a washer and dryer, hamper, a door in from garage and a door out to hallway. And room, enough to move from the washer, over to the dryer, right next to it. That's it. SSSMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!<br />
I have seen coat closets bigger than this. It seems to be the room that holds alot of other stuff, besides laundry. There is one big shelf above the washer/dryer, and when I want to put something up there I usually chuck it up there and hope it stays, but usually it takes me about 3 tries. Boots, blankets for the park, baseball gloves, lunch boxes, snow cone maker, big box of plastic silverware, suntan lotion, bug spray, fly swatter(s), snow pants, packing tape, plastic shopping bags, and a backpack-just in case we need it!<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small; text-align: center;">(if we ever have a power outage, I am covered on the flashlights- EGADS, look at them all!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"><br /></span><br />
So I was at my favorite thrift store and I found 4 canvas baskets, with slots for labels. Just the ticket! They fit perfectly, with a tiny space left for my husbands vacuum sealer on the end.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdwKyMvo-zyEbM5Deg_LRs1sGBMpf_gN0bLItt4-3VjdUCRG_fXxBXZNDIaM1SEsu5gEHkmquMVeZmp285sRzJBnRUWfdyRDlT7fO0ugVj8XELe0grQ4l_qBO163wbSZxac2FFglABFxE/s1600/Picnik+collage+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdwKyMvo-zyEbM5Deg_LRs1sGBMpf_gN0bLItt4-3VjdUCRG_fXxBXZNDIaM1SEsu5gEHkmquMVeZmp285sRzJBnRUWfdyRDlT7fO0ugVj8XELe0grQ4l_qBO163wbSZxac2FFglABFxE/s640/Picnik+collage+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(yes,this room is as wide as a washer and dryer-that's it. See that plastic bag on the bottom left, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">it is our trash can for the lint. No room for even a trash can!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything either got tossed or went into the appropriate basket. I don't know that is has been </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
painted since it was built, I am going to have to look for a light, refreshing color to paint it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There really is no room for any decor of any kind, so that's easy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BONUS: all my laundry is caught up!!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.midwesternsewinggirl.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab44/midwesternsewinggirl/2012blogbutton.gif" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maggie over at Midwestern sewing girl contacted me to let me know about her Fish foam giveaway and that<br />
one of her 3 winners did not collect her 3 cans of Fish foam she had as a giveaway, and when she picked another winner, it was ME!! Well, it came in the mail today and it was just the perfect day for it to arrive too! I realized something a week ago about myself that I didn't know. Looking back, every winter for as long as I remember I get into a funk after Christmas and am in it a few months until the sun comes out and the flowers come up. I guess I never really realized that I had it EVERY year or even what it is called. I went to see a Dr. about it last week because it is a bit more than my sometimes 'ADD procrastination' and she told me I have SAD. <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002499/">Seasonal Affective Disorder</a>. The winter blues. My Dr. recommended light therapy. About 30 minutes in the morning should help alot. I ordered an SAD light from Amazon, and I will keep you posted about how it goes. The weather here in St. Louis has been a little warmer, so I think that has helped me in the last few days. I have the day off today and I felt like cleaning. Something I have not done since before Christmas. Yeah, that bad. But like I said, the Fish foam came at a perfect time!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fishfoam.com/"><img src="http://charlesandhudson.com/photos/fish-foam-window-cleaner.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<br />
I looked around the house and tried to pick out the dirtiest surface I could attack with<br />
this foam. The sliding glass door. Dog and kids in and out!! I always have the hardest<br />
time with it, not even sure what some of the smudge is that is on it,<br />
just that it is gross! Here are some before and after's.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZQxgp5FJsQzSR4GNupnHSb4CvNicBVp-Q4QcV4k7EUl9bWv-5bXErHmPfYbRjl55ajBPTWc3zaOvvTC2Bj9yIoE2g4cP6MhZGVAvfIhhNzPtO8UXzMqSahHi_yMEtd0uSOBo1bggyFrg/s1600/Picnik+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZQxgp5FJsQzSR4GNupnHSb4CvNicBVp-Q4QcV4k7EUl9bWv-5bXErHmPfYbRjl55ajBPTWc3zaOvvTC2Bj9yIoE2g4cP6MhZGVAvfIhhNzPtO8UXzMqSahHi_yMEtd0uSOBo1bggyFrg/s640/Picnik+collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These shots do not do this glass door justice. Trust me it was gross! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The after photo doesn't even look like it was taken through glass!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This photo also was taken through the glass!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nothing was safe from me and the foam!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hit every appliance, TV, toaster, even my stainless steel trash can!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have no idea what is in this stuff, but you only have to wipe it off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NO streaking and no having to reapply.It is amazing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Normally I would have to go over every surface a few times with Windex, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as it would run and not stay put. The smell is so fresh and clean too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It gave me enough of a taste of clean to do the rest of my house!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yep, after a month of doing the bare minimum, my house is clean. For now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something else happened today too...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have some furniture recycling I started working on, as well as my laundry room finally </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
getting organized, that I will be showing in a future post soon. YEAH for doing somethings!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So my first Link party is <strike>still open cause I didn't know what I was doing</strike> now closed.<br />
I have had a busy week and did not do a whole lot to promote this party, but I do appreciate all of you that did link up, I love to be inspired by everything!<br />
<br />
Here are my favorites.<br />
So, first up is the<br />
<br />
<i>Emperor's Red dresser makeover </i>that Amy from <b><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://thesalvagecollection.blogspot.com/2012/01/red-zone.html">The Salvage Collection</a> </span>finished</b><br />

<br />
<br />
She know I love it and that if she were closer, I would break into her home, leave all the cash, jewels and electronics and go straight for this bad boy! It is my favorite furniture redo in all of blog land!<br />
Plus Amy is hella funny and talented, so go see her!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up is this <i>Burlap Valentine Wreath</i> from Amanda @ <a href="http://www.myheartsdesireblog.com/2012/01/valentines-front-door.html"><b>My Hearts Desire</b></a>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She added her red burlap to a wreath she used for other seasons, leaving the Burlap intact. How genius of her, and I love the red/tan color scheme going on. I also learned you can get a wire heart wreath from Hobby Lobby, who knew!
<br />
<br />
Next up is from Carolyn From <a href="http://carolynshomework.blogspot.com/2012/01/little-craft-valentine-twig-arrows.html"><b>Homework</b></a> and her <i><a href="http://carolynshomework.blogspot.com/2012/01/little-craft-valentine-twig-arrows.html">Valentine Twig Arrows</a></i>.<br />

<br />
<br />
Why did none of us think of this! I mean, what in the world is Cupid supposed to shoot you with???<br />
These are so simple to make and I am sure most of us have everything needed on hand. Bravo!<br />
<br />
And lastly, but not leastly (?) is this <i>Photo Wall Art</i> from Natalie over at <b><a href="http://northshoredays.blogspot.com/2012/01/inspirational-wall-art.html">North Shore Days</a></b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
They are photos she blew up of her Frangipani Trees she has out by her pool. She reused the words she had on a gallery wall and now they are the star of the dining room!<br />
<br />
If you were featured grab my button (a 'featured' button is in the works.)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;"> The party will start early on Wednesdays and will run through Tuesday of the following week. You can link up anything you are proud of. It can be a craft, furniture refinishing, anything DIY, a recipe, tips or tutorials, I am not picky! There are some rules, but not to many and they are not too strict. If you would like to have a chance to be featured, make sure you follow these simple rules.</span><br />
<ol style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">
<li>Be a follower of a wee Meenit.</li>
<li>Make sure to add my button to the post you are linking up. </li>
<li>Try to look around at fellow link ups. Sometimes something that doesn't look that interesting in a space the size of a postage stamp can be deceiving, but if you click it anyway, you will be amazed at all the stuff you could have missed.</li>
<li>no giveaways or Etsy shops</li>
</ol>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">

We in Eastern Missouri will begin ordering Girl Scout cookies on Saturday the 21st of January. Did you know that every state has a different time of the year that they sell the cookies?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Peanut Butter Patties" src="http://www.girlscoutsem.org/mm/images/pb-patties.png" /><img alt="Shortbread" src="http://www.girlscoutsem.org/mm/images/shortbread.png" /><img alt="Thin Mints" src="http://www.girlscoutsem.org/mm/images/thin-mint.png" /><img alt="Thanks-a-lot" src="http://www.girlscoutsem.org/mm/images/thanks-a-lot.png" /><img alt="Carmel Delites" src="http://www.girlscoutsem.org/mm/images/carmel-delights.png" />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is some info about the cookie sales:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the world. Through the cookie program, Girl Scouts have fun while developing five essential life skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.</span><br style="line-height: 18px;" /><br style="line-height: 18px;" /><span style="line-height: 18px;">All proceeds from the cookie sales stay within our community to benefit local girls. Girl Scout troops use the money for field trips and community service projects. These funds help Girl Scouts deliver programs for girls, provide training for adult volunteers, and maintain local Girl Scout camps.</span>
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The biggest sellers are:</span></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-left: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<li style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">25% Thin Mints<sup>®</sup></span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">19% Samoas<sup>®</sup>/Caramel deLites<sup>®</sup></span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">13% Peanut Butter Patties<sup>®</sup>/Tagalongs<sup>®</sup></span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">11% Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-si-dos<sup>®</sup></span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">9% Shortbread/Trefoils<sup>®</sup></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The other varieties combined account for the remaining 23%. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">imitated but never duplicated, Peanut Butter Patties </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">have been in the Girl Scout Cookie line for over 30 years. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They are the 3rd best selling Girl Scout Cookie and are </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">among the top 10 best selling cookies in America.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Currently, two commercial bakers are licensed by the national Girl Scout organization, Girl Scouts of the USA, to produce Girl Scout Cookies: ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Did you know that Girl Scout cookies do not contain any preservatives?</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">Over 200 million boxes of cookies are sold every year, a tradition that started in 1917. The cookies then were made by each troop. It wasn't until1934 that they became commercially baked cookies. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Girl Scout Councils choose their licensed baker, either Little Brownie Bakers or ABC Bakers. Each of the bakers owns its cookie names, except THIN MINTS</span><sup style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">®</sup><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and TREFOILS</span><sup style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">®</sup><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, which GSUSA owns. So a cookie like the Trefoil / Shortbread may look and taste similar, but your local Girl Scout council determines which one will be on the market when they select their baker.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Girl Scout cookies are also Kosher.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: normal;">By eliminating the carton on Thanks-A-Lot cookies this year, Girl Scouts® of the USA</span><br style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span style="line-height: normal;">and ABC Bakers are taking over 150 tons of paperboard out of the waste stream.</span><br style="font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span style="line-height: normal;">Saves enough paperboard to fill 14 garbage trucks*. Yields energy savings equivalent</span><br style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span style="line-height: normal;">to 30,000 gallons of gasoline.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: normal;">If you really do not want the cookies, you can choose to take advantage of their cookie Share.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You can purchase the cookies and the troop will decide where they would like to donate you cookies. This is the only way you are elligable for a tax deduction from the cookies!</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I personally can not resist them, but wanted to know if there was anyway I could <strike>gorge on them </strike>bake with the left over cookies. I found some <a href="http://www.abcsmartcookies.com/cookies_recipes.asp?tab=bycookie">recipes here</a>.</span><br />

<li>no giveaways or Etsy shops</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I have never been a huge fan of Pink. Until I started seeing all this fabulous pink showing up in peoples crafts, and homes around bloggerville. I wanted to make a Valentine wreath, but something a little different than the typical red. So I headed to Pinterest <strike>because I am an addict</strike> to look for a little inspiration. I loved this wreath from <i><b><a href="http://babblingsandmore.blogspot.com/2011/09/burlap-wreath.html?m=1">Babblings and More</a></b></i>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Pinterest wreath and the colors of the vintage ornaments as inspiration.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is how it came together. I ran to Joanne's and got a little fabric and a Styrofoam round.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought a 1/2 yard of Burlap and a quarter yard of the 3 coordinating fabrics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose Ivory Burlap (didn't even know it existed in this shade).</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wrapped the Burlap around the wreath not cutting any notches in it as I liked the burlap </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pleated look, then pinned it to the wreath along the way.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The grey fabric I chose is actually flannel. I wanted it to have the same feel as the vintage balls, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so this was as close to silver as I wanted.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are tutorials on how to make flat flowers out of fabric or paper, but having never read them, here is my version. Not sure if they are better or worse, this is just what I did.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv2HPFqChGaMA9rs0g6KV1DgBWBrtZrSd8geNxSC8brDLorh0U2oIDHtvVbOKqzVH_3dm_mZCAnkuISPtNGKY8V2gJp6De7hUqFLSvAZGExiUFhUP1eFWkm-3r_43pdD59GcpRnpqUkWY/s1600/DSC_0230.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv2HPFqChGaMA9rs0g6KV1DgBWBrtZrSd8geNxSC8brDLorh0U2oIDHtvVbOKqzVH_3dm_mZCAnkuISPtNGKY8V2gJp6De7hUqFLSvAZGExiUFhUP1eFWkm-3r_43pdD59GcpRnpqUkWY/s640/DSC_0230.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start coiling the center of the flower, twisting the burlap as you go. After an inch or so, twist the fabric the opposite direction. Making sure you hold the flower very tightly as it will want to unroll on you.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Burlap is harder to keep compact and tight as it is bulkier, but I liked the added texture it gave me.</div>

The last bit of fabric had pink, white and grey in it. I layered some of the flowers so I could fit them all on. I think the inspiration wreath is bigger than mine.

SOPA and how will it affect youNever heard of it? Me either. It stands for Stop Online Piracy Act.
A few major sights are having a black out today to raise awareness. <a href="https://www.google.com/"><i>Google</i> has a black banner</a> draped across it's name and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page"><i>Wikapedia</i></a> only has this information on thier site today. I recommend to you, as a fellow blogger to read it so you can understand how it could affect you and why these huge internet companies are opposing it!<br />

<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">SOPA and PIPA represent two bills in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate respectively. SOPA is short for the "Stop Online Piracy Act," and PIPA is an acronym for the "Protect IP Act." ("IP" stands for "intellectual property.") In short, these bills are efforts to stop copyright infringement committed by foreign web sites, but, in our opinion, they do so in a way that actually infringes free expression while harming the Internet. Detailed information about these bills can be found in the <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Stop Online Piracy Act">Stop Online Piracy Act</a></b> and <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROTECT_IP_Act" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="PROTECT IP Act">PROTECT IP Act</a></b> articles on Wikipedia, which are available during the blackout.

<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">Wikipedians have chosen to black out the English Wikipedia for the first time ever, because we are concerned that SOPA and PIPA will severely inhibit people's access to online information. This is not a problem that will solely affect people in the United States: it will affect everyone around the world.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">Why? SOPA and PIPA are badly drafted legislation that won't be effective at their stated goal (to stop copyright infringement), and will cause serious damage to the free and open Internet. They put the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites. Small sites won't have sufficient resources to defend themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off funding sources for their foreign competitors, even if copyright isn't being infringed. Foreign sites will be blacklisted, which means they won't show up in major search engines. And, SOPA and PIPA build a framework for future restrictions and suppression.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;">
<dt style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Does this mean that Wikipedia itself is violating copyright laws, or hosting pirated content?</dt>
</dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">No, not at all. Some supporters of SOPA and PIPA characterize everyone who opposes them as cavalier about copyright, but that is not accurate. Wikipedians are knowledgeable about copyright and vigilant in protecting against violations: Wikipedians spend thousands of hours every week reviewing and removing infringing content. We are careful about it because our mission is to share knowledge freely. To that end, all Wikipedians release their contributions under a free license, and all the material we offer is freely licensed. Free licenses are incompatible with copyright infringement, and so infringement is not tolerated.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;">
<dt style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Isn't SOPA dead? Wasn't the bill shelved, and didn't the White House declare that it won't sign anything that resembles the current bill?</dt>
</dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">No, neither SOPA nor PIPA is dead. On January 17th, SOPA's sponsor said the bill will be discussed in early February. There are signs PIPA may be debated on the Senate floor next week. Moreover, SOPA and PIPA are just indicators of a much broader problem. In many jurisdictions around the world, we're seeing the development of legislation that prioritizes overly-broad copyright enforcement laws, laws promoted by power players, over the preservation of individual civil liberties.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;">
<dt style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.1em;">How could SOPA and PIPA hurt Wikipedia?</dt>
</dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">SOPA and PIPA are a threat to Wikipedia in many ways. For example, in its current form, SOPA would require Wikipedia to actively monitor every site we link to, to ensure it doesn't host infringing content. Any link to an infringing site could put us in jeopardy of being forced offline.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;">
<dt style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.1em;">I live in the United States. What's the best way for me to help?</dt>
</dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">The most effective action you can take is to call your representatives and tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA, and any similar legislation. Type your zipcode <a class="external text" href="https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url(data:image/png; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #663366; padding-right: 13px; text-decoration: none;">in the locator box to find your representatives' contact information</a>. Text-based communication is okay, but phone calls have the most impact.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;">
<dt style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.1em;">I don't live in the United States. How can I help?</dt>
</dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">Contact your local State Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or similar branch of government. Tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA, and any similar legislation. SOPA and PIPA will affect sites outside of the United States, and actions to sites inside the United States (like Wikipedia) will also affect non-American readers -- like you. Calling your own government will also let them know you don't want them to create their own bad anti-Internet legislation.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;">
<dt style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?</dt>
</dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">Yes. During the blackout, Wikipedia is accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. You can also view Wikipedia normally by disabling JavaScript in your browser, as explained on <a class="external text" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia_SOPA_blackout/Technical_FAQ%20" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url(data:image/png; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #663366; padding-right: 13px; text-decoration: none;">this Technical FAQ page</a>. Our purpose here isn't to make it completely impossible for people to read Wikipedia, and it's okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We just want to make sure you see our message.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;">
<dt style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.1em;">I keep hearing that this is a fight between Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Is that true?</dt>
</dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">No. Some people are characterizing it that way, probably in an effort to imply all the participants are motivated by commercial self-interest. But it's obviously not that simple. The proof of that is Wikipedia's involvement. Wikipedia has no financial self-interest at play here: we do not benefit from copyright infringement, nor are we trying to monetize traffic or sell ads. We are protesting to raise awareness about SOPA and PIPA solely because we think they will hurt the Internet, and your ability to access information online. We are doing this for you, because we're on your side.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;">
<dt style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.1em;">In carrying out this protest, is Wikipedia abandoning neutrality?</dt>
</dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 1.6em;">We hope you continue to trust Wikipedia to be a neutral information source. We are staging this blackout because (as Wikimedia Foundation Trustee Kat Walsh said recently), although Wikipedia’s articles are neutral, its existence is not. For over a decade, Wikipedians have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Wikipedia is a tremendously useful resource, and its existence depends upon a free, open and uncensored Internet. SOPA and PIPA (and other similar laws under discussion inside and outside the United States) will hurt you, because they will make it impossible for sites you enjoy, and benefit from, to continue to exist. That's why we're doing this.</dd></dl>

</div>
For those of you who are new to the blog, you can read 2 the different posts that lead up to this one. The first one,<b style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://aweemeenit.blogspot.com/2012/01/hair-at-last-1-intro.html"> Hair at last</a> </b>is an introduction to me as a hairstylist. It is the first post I wrote regarding my background as a hairstylist for the past 18 years. It gives you a little sense of who I am as a hair designer and where I have been. My next post about hair titled <i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://aweemeenit.blogspot.com/2012/01/calling-all-curly-girls-1.html">Calling all curly girls #1</a>. </i>It is an education on the composition of curly hair and why it is so hard to tame it.<br />
Now I am going to share with you how to work with your curly hair and not against it. I touched on why you should not wash your curly/wavy hair with over the counter shampoo's and why conditioning it with the right products is so important. Also what it means to give yourself a 'water shampoo'. Now I will share how you treat your hair once you step out of the shower is just as important. But wait. There is ONLY one time that you should comb your hair. In the shower. With conditioner in it. That's it! A wide tooth comb is best. And NEVER brush your hair, ever. Your hair cuticles will hate you for it. Most people with curly hair have flat curls on top and overly poofy curls on the sides and length. If this sounds like you, do not put conditioner on your scalp, it will only make it flatter. Remember in <b><i><a href="http://aweemeenit.blogspot.com/2012/01/calling-all-curly-girls-1.html">curly girls #1</a> </i></b>when I touched on your hair having natural oils, and that when you use regular (full of sulfate, silicone's and waxes) shampoo it removes the 'good' oil that you can't see, but that keeps your hair very healthy. Just stay away from shampoo or if you must, use <i><b><a href="http://store.devachansalon.com/Categories.bok?category=DevaCurl">Deva Low-poo or No-poo</a></b></i>.<br />

You will recall my explanation of why towels are bad for textured hair. The little nubs on them reek havoc to the cuticle and do not help in your quest for lushes locks!! Another great thing to use besides an old T-shirt is paper towels. WHAT? Yep, paper towels. You can hang them over the shower or tub when you are done and come back in a few hours put them away for next time. No rubbing of your hair. NONE. Only squeezing the excess moisture out. Now what to use on your hair to keep it tame and beautiful all day? Here are a few of my favorites.<br />

You can find a Deva Curl salon near you that sells the products by going to the Salon finder<a href="http://www.mydevacurl.com/curly_stylist_finder"> here</a>.<br />
I can explain the step by step of how to apply the products in your hair, but Deva has an amazing video that does it so much better than I ever could and you can go <i><a href="http://www.mydevacurl.com/curly_lifestyle/videos">here</a></i> to see it! If you have any questions still after watching the video, please leave a comment and I will answer you as soon as I get it. If you also go to the menu bar you will see <i><a href="http://www.mydevacurl.com/curly_lifestyle">Curly Lifestyles</a>.</i> There you can determine what curls you have, Q's & tips, as well as a gallery of before and afters, like this.<br />

Amazing huh?!</div>
I love the gallery because it is broken down into the 4 curl types and you can see people who have hair just like you and what a difference it can make.<br />
I know alot of people don't like to spend the money on salon products.<br />
'They really aren't any better', 'They cost too much', I could go on and on. But I always tell my clients that if you want beautiful teeth, sometimes you have to pay the Dentist. Well it is true for salon products. In my first <b><i><a href="http://aweemeenit.blogspot.com/2012/01/calling-all-curly-girls-1.html">Curly hair #1</a> </i></b>post I broke down the differences of over the counter shampoo's and conditioners vs salon products. If you have any further questions or disbelief, feel free to leave a comment or personally email me.<br />
I want to touch base on the importance of a good cut. I was trained at the Deva salon in New York and am a certified curly girl specialist. I do not use a comb when I cut your hair, I cut each individual curl to the desired shape. My curly haired clients can go much longer between hair cuts because the cut was customized to their particular hair type, length and desired shape. So it may cost you more, as they are usually in higher end salons, but you will pay the same or less over time than going to a less expensive salon in hopes of saving money.<br />
So in short, remember to not 'wash your hair' but cleanse with water or at the very least a Deva No-poo cleanser. Leave a wide tooth comb in the shower and only use to when combing thru a conditioner. Use an old T-shirt to gently <i>squeeze</i> out the moisture in your hair, not rub. Decide on at least one Deva product to try in your hair. Spend the extra money to get a good Curly cut and you and your curls will be bouncier than ever!!<br />

I was not paid for this post by Deva and all the opinions here are my own<br />

So one of my big projects on my <a href="http://aweemeenit.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-bucket-list-goodbye-to-2011.html"><i>2012 Bucket list</i></a> is my daughter Morgan's bedroom. Her room right now just does not reflect her personality. It was collected from here and there, which is a look I love, but I want it to have a little bit more of her personality reflected in it. I have been <a href="http://pinterest.com/bonnieboze/girls-room-ideas/"><i>Pinning ideas for her room</i></a>. Then I found<i><a href="http://mydeco.com/"> Mydeco</a> </i>today, a website that allows you to make free moodboards! You simply install the 'clipper' (very much like the 'pin it' button) in your header, then if you see something you like, you just hit Mydeco clipper and again, just like @ Pinterest you will have an option to 'clip' as many things on the page as you wish. They will go into different files you can create. You have the ability to drag and drop, rotate, shrink, enlarge, overlap any of your photos. You can have as many moodboards as you wish, I think I may make one for all of my bucket list!<br />
Here are the 2 moodboard I created for Morgan's bedroom.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The first one was a little busy, so I moved some of it to a second mood board. </div>

They both have some similarities, but the colors in the first one are a little brighter, a little more 'strawberry' if you will and the second one still has an emphasis on pink, but with a bit more personality than the pink in her room now. Both of the inspiration fabrics are from the Jane Sassaman Free Spirit Garden Diva's fabric line. Joanne's has them for $10 a yard.I am going to make a headboard and a duvet cover for her room. But I am going to make one a print and one a solid. I am leaning more towards the duvet being the print, but I think it will be more impactful if I do the headboard in a print. The only drawback of that is that I probably will want to keep the headboard forever, not necessarily the duvet though. In Morgan's room now she has an old chippy pink dresser with original paint finish on it (LOVE). She also has a yellow child's armoire from the late 60's that also has the original finish on it. I love both pieces, but neither of them is big enough to hold her clothes. I think I will get more space in the room if I get her a taller larger dresser. As far as her bed goes I am going to turn it sideways and push it back against the wall, like a day bed. I have an antique wrought iron headboard/footboard with brass knobs on top that I think I will use on the sides and then do a tufted headboard along the back wall. I am trying to give her little bit more floor space in there. Here is an idea of what I want it to look like, but not necessarily the built ins on the side, but what a great idea!!</div>

We put a chair rail in the room when we switched it from a guest room to her room. I am not sure if I want to do something like bead board wall paper on the bottom then a soft grey on top. I am sure I will come up with a third moodboard for her room before ling, <i><a href="http://mydeco.com/">Mydeco</a></i> makes it so fun and easy!!I would love your feedback if you have any ideas that would work as well.</div>
