Remember the sock monkey shower we had in February?

some of the items that were used.

Can anyone really explain what happened to NASA?

What happened to all those little boys dreams of becoming an astronaut?

Was it really to expensive? Couldn’t they have trimmed the spending

in other ways….hmmm just venting tonight

Anybody else disappointed?

I know it isn’t new news….. it just made me think about it when

I saw the Russian photos of earth on yahoo’s homepage.

It looks better than some of the interiors in motorhomes you see today.

Loving this cute window valance topper idea from Better Homes and Gardens.

They cut up a inexpensive bamboo blind and stapled it to

two pieces of wood…. Then they wrapped it around a wooden

dowel. You can go to their link for the complete instructions.

I want to try this idea. I might use the inside of a paper towel

roll or wrapping paper roll and see if that works to wrap the blind around.

My mom has a similar window topper made out of fabric,

but the long ties are knotted toward the ends instead of bows.

I’m thinking I’ll do knots on mine for a more tailored look.

Here is an example of the knot I’m talking about.
