My husband and I have been busy the last 4 days painting our great room. What a monumental undertaking this was! The huge vaulted ceilings and high walls took forever to paint. We had to rent scaffolding for the high work and the stairs took several ladders and boards rigged up to get my husband up high enough to reach the very top. Needless to say, it was a scary experience -- one that I hope we don't have to ever do again!
Now the last thing to do is to put up a new fan at the very top. My stampers (and myself) have been asking for lights on the fan for years and looks like we are going to get our wish! We should be finished this afternoon and can take the scaffolding down. Tomorrow I plan to shampoo the carpet and wax my hardwood floors and then we'll take a break before we tackle the kitchen.
So, while I wait for my husband to ask for my help today, I thought I'd update my blog with a new tutorial. This card features the Celebrate Today (137138) stamp set with the Balloon Framelits Dies (137362). These items can be purchased separately or you can buy the bundle and save 15% -- just use Item #138869.
