It is time to move on, time for a change. This blog was lovingly referred to by one of my blog pals as a "kitchen sink" blog. A place where you will find all sorts of posts. I think that was and still is a great explanation of Treasures and truth be told, that won't change along with the blog name. Rescued by Angie will still be true to me and all the things I love. The only difference is the name.

<br />
2012, the year the Christmas tree stayed up and I mean up! From Christmas 2011 all the way through to Christmas 2012. There <i>was </i>a moment half way through the year where I thought I'd make the best of it. Almost convinced myself it was all planned out. I give you, The 4th of July Tree...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
That was the one and only time it was decorated for any other holiday besides Christmas.<br />
<br />
Truth be told, it only came down in January of 2013 because Mr. Treasures was tired of seeing it up and took it upon himself to bring it down. Why fake? Easy- I'm allergic to pine (sucks I know) but it is what it is. Why leave it up an entire year? Well, that is not so easy to answer.<br />
<br />
2012 seemed to be a year that I gave up. I waived my white flag, surrendered to anything and ignored everything.<br />
<br />
I had my <i>moments</i>, moments where I thought I was going to pull it together and somehow manage to be <span style="font-size: large;">all </span>things to<span style="font-size: large;"> all </span>parts of my life and everyone in it.<br />
<br />
I had moments, where I was able to see clearly, determine a goal and head off full speed ahead, in what later turned out to be about 85 directions at once. This obviously led me back to the waiving of said flag mentioned a moment ago. <br /><br />
Towards the end of 2012 there was<span style="font-size: x-large;"> a lot</span> of painting. Which actually gave me a false sense of accomplishment. I somehow kept allowing myself to get swallowed up by all the success I was having. It seemed as though a ball was rolling downhill and I was strapped to it.<br />
<br />
Both loving it and dreading it equally.<br />
<br />
Loving it for obvious reasons.<br />
<br />
I <span style="font-size: large;">am</span> a creative soul. I <span style="font-size: large;">NEED </span>to create.<br />
<br />
To have others want to purchase what I have created or to trust me enough to transform furniture they already owned?<br />
<br />
Well the feeling that gives me, only another creative soul could fully understand.<br />
<br />
Why the dread?<br />
<br />
I am still working full time (reluctantly) and I am still a wife and mother.<br />
<br />
If I am painting, I am not with my family.<br />
<br />
It's <span style="font-size: large;">was</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">is</span> a tough balance for me.<br />
<br />
The Christmas tree obviously represented everything that just didn't or shouldn't matter.<br />
<br />
Anything that took my focus away from what really mattered and at the same time, it became a constant reminder of what was suffering all around me.<br />
<br />
By the end of the year I was ready to for it to stop. I was ready to <span style="font-size: large;">be </span>better in 2013. I was ready to find a balance and a peace that I had not had in all of last year or several years prior. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is it!</span> <span style="font-size: large;">2013!</span><br />
<br />
This <span style="font-size: x-large;">will not </span>be a repeat of last year. <i>This</i> year <b>will </b>be different. <i>This</i> year<b> will </b>be better.<br />
<br />
And to start it off?<br />
<br />
This will be my last post on All My Treasures.<br />
<br />
Yep, This blog is being "taken down" just like the Christmas tree.<br />
<br />
I am now.....<br />

It has been <span style="font-size: large;">months </span>since I've even read a blog!! <br />
I am still working full time and my furniture business has really taken off. Between those two and of course the <i>most </i>important job, being a mother and a wife well, I just haven't had the time. I post and update to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/All-my-treasures/296237561687">fan page</a> on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/All-my-treasures/296237561687">Facebook</a> often. So if you want to keep up on the Treasure haps then you should probably check in there! :)<br />
<br />
Now for a quick Sidewalk Sunday....<br />
<br />
<br />
I was on my way home from work last week and traffic was unusually bad. I decided to take a detour and cut through a housing track where Mr. Treasure and I used to live. That's when I spotted a "junk" pile at the curb of one of the homes.<br />
<br />
It was <span style="font-size: large;">really </span>dark so I couldn't see that well but I didn't let that discourage me. I got out (dressed for my office job) and I managed to spot these gorgeous infinity chairs...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There were two with arms and two without. <b>Nothing </b>wrong with them!!! <i>Well </i>except the fact that they were U.G.L.Y. but that's nothing a little paint and material can't fix! <br />
<br />
Moral of the story? Don't be afraid of detours, the dark<i> or</i> digging through trash piles in front of someones home while in 3 inch heels....<br />

<br />
It has been forever since I've blogged. So many projects and things happening at the Treasure household! Just wanted to check in and let you know I will be posting some new finds this week and fill you in on all that has been going on. Plus, I have some very exciting news to share very soon. The kind of news that will require you to pack up and move with me!! Don't worry, I'll do the packing - you'll just need to move! All the details coming up later this week! Until then, check out this chair makeover a friend of mine just finished!<br />
<br />
She was on the hunt for new chairs for her office when she stumbled across the gorgeous chevron chair at Home Goods. At $200 a chair (upper left photo) she decided she could replicate it for a lot less. So she went on the hunt and found two for $40 (upper right photo) great bones, but in need of some serious help!<br />

I am cutting this one close aren't I!?! It's a long story and I'll spare you all the details but it basically boiled down to no knobs at my Hobby Lobby and having to call in a favor. Thanks Loni!!<br />
<br />
So I showed you this guy in yesterdays post but here's a refresher just in case....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunrO2rjuCNuV3WOZKVvdyJEStelz9wtBcsW_V1EXu4La2fnD3aK16KdLokl82VDaGRXXZahcp851tNFKfpOeqmuBtjWOnmCpsU2jQUY6NzuH6aHkaaBzZoQbTCiSr0_HKvv2vzkO30RBn/s1600/DSC_0005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" lda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunrO2rjuCNuV3WOZKVvdyJEStelz9wtBcsW_V1EXu4La2fnD3aK16KdLokl82VDaGRXXZahcp851tNFKfpOeqmuBtjWOnmCpsU2jQUY6NzuH6aHkaaBzZoQbTCiSr0_HKvv2vzkO30RBn/s320/DSC_0005.JPG" width="214" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I literally have had him in my garage for at least two years. I would say you can read about it "here" (insert hyperlink) but I am to lazy to sift back through and find the original post. So- take my word for it, he's been here a while. <br />
<br />
I decided to use some left over muted turquoise blue/gray/green paint I had. <br />
(You'll see in a minute why I described the color like that.) <br />
<br />
Then I decided (even though it's been done a <span style="font-size: large;">thousand</span> times already) to add numbers to the drawer fronts.<br />
<br />
I had never done it myself and always wanted to. I grabbed my stencils,some leftover black paint and got started...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPhOEbDKCV1HopNXJ-3tumGfWs00WTPHTuN266lChf-ZA1ejiGfWRlFrpKJ7u_ayowkgtB87HkTzEfN38nvxhR4YLRMy6kqZ1S0BYNYRIXpGhew2-w9F6Vo6TKnXbF9EOcnByVk1yfqcE/s1600/DSC_0045.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" lda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPhOEbDKCV1HopNXJ-3tumGfWs00WTPHTuN266lChf-ZA1ejiGfWRlFrpKJ7u_ayowkgtB87HkTzEfN38nvxhR4YLRMy6kqZ1S0BYNYRIXpGhew2-w9F6Vo6TKnXbF9EOcnByVk1yfqcE/s320/DSC_0045.JPG" width="214" /></a></div><br />
At this point I had a pretty clear vision of what I wanted the end result to be. <br />
<br />
I even tested out the knobs that I originally got for Lil' Red's dresser. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl0nOTsXB7LJgyrqnWmHC_WpDvDvvn_SMFna3Fb5m_XMVOzE9qFZO4kz4XRdN2BGLr2TCYwSaQi2Kz9eQBW-rGzS5_Q1OUlNSDYpEiuxXCI0dzTNeGeyRPQtbCqs1ce1SxF9PCrps3iN1D/s1600/DSC_0047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" lda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl0nOTsXB7LJgyrqnWmHC_WpDvDvvn_SMFna3Fb5m_XMVOzE9qFZO4kz4XRdN2BGLr2TCYwSaQi2Kz9eQBW-rGzS5_Q1OUlNSDYpEiuxXCI0dzTNeGeyRPQtbCqs1ce1SxF9PCrps3iN1D/s320/DSC_0047.JPG" width="214" /></a></div><br />
After <span style="font-size: large;">lots</span> and <span style="font-size: x-large;">lots</span> of distressing, a top coat of minwax and a trip to my MIL's for the remaining knobs, the end result was....<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dXxmomOQiOqPc5G45GFrkLK2bU6KvPZE0-fUlxRBoTt0A3bpkQxYvp-6YIMWkGoqsNzBRNhy5xRTb3rB4QVwCbguSOkBxrUSkzGuRnaterzGaGoM-gpAuiulXV320j3yGjvZ8_Bp3oC8/s1600/DSC_0073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" lda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dXxmomOQiOqPc5G45GFrkLK2bU6KvPZE0-fUlxRBoTt0A3bpkQxYvp-6YIMWkGoqsNzBRNhy5xRTb3rB4QVwCbguSOkBxrUSkzGuRnaterzGaGoM-gpAuiulXV320j3yGjvZ8_Bp3oC8/s320/DSC_0073.JPG" width="214" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I'm really happy with how it turned out. <br />
<br />
The only problem? I am a horrible photographer and the lighting in my home, mixed with the wall color<em> really</em> make it difficult to capture the true color of this piece. <br />
<br />
In fact, even though in <span style="font-size: x-large;">all</span> the photos above the dresser looks, gray, sometimes green, it really is...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

more of a muted turquoise,blue, gray.<br />
<br />
The photo above is the closest I can get to it's true color.<br />
<br />
Either way I really love how it turned out. <br />

<br />
<em>Partly </em>because I'm<span style="font-size: x-large;"> lazy</span> and partly because I haven't scored a ton of freebies lately. <br />

Sorry they are rotten cell phone photos but lets face it- <br />
<br />
rotten cell phone photos are better than no photos at all right? <br />
<br />
Who's with me??<br />
<br />
Alright, you're right- no excuse for crappy photos. <br />

Anyhow, remember this guy??<br />

I got him quite a while ago and the poor thing just sat in my garage waiting for the day inspiration hit.<br />
<br />
Well that day was yesterday (and today- oh and most likely some of tomorrow).<br />
<br />
I have been hard at work transforming this baby. <br />
<br />
Stop by the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/All-my-treasures/296237561687">FB fan page</a> and check out some of the progress. <br />
<br />
Final reveal was <em>supposed</em> to be tonight but judging by the loss of feeling in my ring finger from sanding, I'm thinking it's a safe bet tomorrow will be the day. Promise- no cell phone photos of that one!<br />
<br />

I was suffering from a fever and an upper respiratory infection that was certainly getting the better of me. <br />
<br />
Final score: <b>ANGIE 0 / U.R.I. 1 </b><br />
<br />
It <i>definitely</i> had the home-field advantage.<br />
<br />
Friday wasn't going any better for me and it was looking like we weren't going to be ringing in the new year at any parties. Finally the day came and I was feeling well enough to join the festivities at the Nelson family who happen to live up the street from us (makes driving home on New Years Eve<i> soooo</i> much safer).<br />
<br />
We started off the night by Mr. Treasures showing off his mad pizza skills...<br />
<br />

But It was the middle part that dictated the title of this blog post. Some where in the middle of this amazing friend filled evening I met Lori.<br />
<br />
Lori is a fellow furniture fan who once upon a time owned her own store here in town. She has an eye for design and also worked for many years as an event planner locally.<br />
<br />
<i>If I am being honest, we met briefly a week before but it was late at night and only casual hellos were exchanged</i>.<br />
<br />
It was on <b>this</b> night, the night of endless possibilities, that Lori started to tell me her vision for 2012.<br />
Actually, she started to tell me <b>my </b>vision for 2012.<br />
<br />
We spent the rest of the night scheming, plotting, pinteresting ( how long before this will be a word in the dictionary?) and browsing past projects.<br />
<br />
At one point Mr. Treasures even joked " I think you found your soul mate".<br />
<br />
Lori's enthusiasm was in full force, something I've needed more of for quite some time.<br />
<br />
Before parting ways at 12:01 January 1st, we exchanged phone numbers. The afternoon of January 1st, she had already joined Treasures Facebook page (All My Treasures) and sent me a text wanting to go treasure hunting.<br />
<br />
I had just sat down to watch a movie with Lil' Red so I could not partake, but made plans for the following day.<br />
<br />
Somehow in the excitement of all things new, extra time with my kiddos and medication for the previously discussed chest cold, I managed to forget our plans.<br />
<br />
Around noon today I saw the text that Lori had sent several hours earlier, reminding me of our treasure hunting plans. Sadly at that point I was knee deep in supervising "The Great Backyard Cleanup of 2012".<br />
<br />
As I began making new plans (that will not be broken promise Lori!!) her enthusiasm became infectious.<br />
<br />
For the first time in a very long time, I painted. <br />

<br />
I still need to paint the second coat, add a little black to the inset of the drawer fronts and distress the whole piece but I'm liking it so far.<br />
<br />
The best part? While adding the knob I found something written on the inside....<br />

<br />
I've really missed blogging and chatting with everyone!! I've also missed working on projects but sadly life has been a little too hectic and my creativity has been a little too nonexistent.... <b>Same story, different day right??</b><br />
<br />
Well- here's hoping it changes soon!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I am thankful for my family, our home and our health and am looking forward to spending lots of time with them the next couple of days. I hope you all have an amazing Thanksgiving with your family!!<br />
<br />
I am lucky enough to have<i> never</i> and I do mean<i> <b>never</b> </i>cooked a turkey or hosted Thanksgiving so I do not have a table setting of my own to share. Instead of leaving you high and dry I decided to share with you <a href="http://mysweetsavannah.blogspot.com/2011/11/our-thanksgiving-table.html">My Sweet Savannah's</a> set up. You'll love it, promise!<br />
<br />
Happy Thanksgiving!!!Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15822191038497825833noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397318223637344461.post-14700029500348771112011-10-30T20:17:00.000-07:002011-10-30T20:17:27.930-07:00Ah-mazing....Do you know Edie from Life in Grace? She lost <i>everything</i> material in a house fire. They have been rebuilding for quite a while now. I'm sure you know the story but just in case you don't, start by going <a href="http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/2011/10/31-daysday-29-the-kitchen-her-highness.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+lifeingrace+(lifeingrace)">here</a> and check out the Ah-mazing kitchen she now calls her own. I would never <i>really </i>want to experience the fear and devastation she did- but I am a tad jealous of the new kitchen :)<br />
<br />
P.S. Happy Halloween!!!Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15822191038497825833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397318223637344461.post-35375726603388826852011-09-25T09:52:00.000-07:002011-09-25T09:52:30.465-07:00Still looking for my mojo....I tried painting a little last weekend which was a nice change from my normal as of late, uninspired weekends. (If you follow along on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/All-my-treasures/296237561687">fan page</a> you got to see the sneak peek photo) That being said, it was still a bit of a creative effort rather than a creative flow. It has a lot to do with time, energy and $$$ but it could also be a bit of a creative block based on my surroundings. Which is why I plan to spend some time today following <a href="http://missmustardseed.blogspot.com/2011/09/getting-craftoffice-space-organized.html">Miss Mustard Seed's</a> organizational advice. My painting space, aka the garage is <i>still </i>packed to the rim and in disarray, even<i><b> after</b></i> unloading 80% of my inventory. I would show you a photo but it really is that bad and without an "after" to accompany it, I'm afraid your opinion of me would change. So for now you will have to use your imagination. I<i> am</i> on a bit of a time crunch since I've already agreed to host a Treasures sale on November 12th. Which is a good thing. For starters, it will hold me accountable (which I seem to need lately) and the money from the sale will help finish Operation Game Room. Which is oh so close to being complete!! <br />
<br />
This doesn't have anything to do with this post but I found it strangely enough while blog "stalking" and thought it was an amazing inexpensive idea. Something I definitely want to try!!

If you are like me, you have heard about this great store on many of your east coast blogging buddies sites and dreamed about being able to rummage through this great store for fabulous deals (I'm not alone on this one- right?)<br />
<br />
I work in the Commercial Real Estate industry and was doing my usual prospecting research online when I stumbled across this article about <a href="http://www.costar.com/News/Article/Hobby-Lobby-Inks-Five-Leases-in-California/131288">Hobby Lobby</a> and their expansion. Best part for me? One of their new locations will be less than 5 minutes from my work. That's going to perk up my lunch time routine for sure!!<br />
<br />
Can't wait!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our game room/ wanna be craft room has been stagnant for quite some time now.

</div><div>This amazing book sold out on Amazon at least once that I know of!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Here is what someone had to say about the book </div><div>(The Forward correct?)</div><div><br />
</div><div>"Connor's Gift introduces the world to a very special boy and the family who love him. He is at once funny, charming, silly and sweet, and can also be a challenge that most would wish to avoid.</div><div>Until you've met this dynamic and very special boy, you cannot know what life with an autistic child is like in this New Age. And that is what makes Connor's Gift such an outstanding read."</div><div><br />
</div><div>I decided to give one away so someone else could enjoy the Carlos Family journey.</div><div>Even if you don't know anyone with Autism in their life, this is an amazing, inspirational story that everyone can enjoy.</div><div><br />
</div><div>If you would like to be entered into the drawing, here's what I would like you to do..</div><div><br />
</div><div>Stop by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ConnorsGiftEmbracingAutism">Connor's Gift</a> Facebook page and say a quick hello. <i>Even better</i>, "Like" it!</div><div><br />
</div><div>I would love it if you could help spread the word about this amazing book as well!<br />
<br />
</div><div>I've included a button at the top of my side bar for you to use if you'd like to help out.</div><div><br />
</div><div>And last but not least, leave me a comment!<br />
<br />
</div><div>Let me know, do you know anyone with Autism?</div><div><br />
</div><div>I would love to leave the drawing open until Connor's birthday which happens to be the same as Lil' Man's, but I'm too excited for you to start reading this amazing book- so waiting until July 31st is just too long!</div><div><br />
</div><div>How about we give it until....</div><div><br />

There were over a 100 homes participating and in the<i> best</i> downtown neighborhoods, dripping with charm.<br />
<br />
<i>So</i> it wasn't a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">big</span> deal that I didn't find anything to buy. I still got the chance to get up close and personal with homes I normally admire from my driver side window at a speed of 35 (<i>okay maybe more</i>).<br />
<br />
Think I remembered to bring my camera and share them with you?<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Of course not! </span><br />
<br />
That will have to be another trip, perhaps the Vintage home tour that will be taking place in May!!!?!<br />
<br />
I <i>was </i>a little disappointed at what was offered. It was either clothes or furniture with ridiculous price tags.<br />
<br />
That's why, when we made a wrong turn and noticed a woman standing next to<i><b> THE</b></i> perfect chairs for Lil' Man's room, we didn't even stop.<br />
<br />
That is, until she waived at us to come back.<br />
<br />
Curious, we turned around and pulled up <i>just </i>as she was pinning the "FREE" sign on them.<br />

Now, they need to be recovered of course, and in case you're counting, that makes 5 chairs and I haven't a sewing bone in my body.<br />

<br />
The deadline is drawing near all the while my dinning room table is being held hostage to the bits and pieces that we hope will soon resemble the grounds of the San Juan Capistrano Mission.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjctKlQKTsupmPeEr33PyY24JUQfiUn9A637Qu_SfDA403at5hh4QAK_xyny5PvgJ25WgqqElKt7t7z-OiSvVdA6je-y_KnfhjEVNsADHBOTbTo_S82VaCYICDvNBz04OtDoIiOPuBKG4O/s1600/DSC_0020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjctKlQKTsupmPeEr33PyY24JUQfiUn9A637Qu_SfDA403at5hh4QAK_xyny5PvgJ25WgqqElKt7t7z-OiSvVdA6je-y_KnfhjEVNsADHBOTbTo_S82VaCYICDvNBz04OtDoIiOPuBKG4O/s320/DSC_0020.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Only one problem, the clay that Mr. Treasures and Lil' Red picked up for the project NEVER hardens.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Yep</span>, just like it <i>says</i> <b>on the package</b>.<br />
<br />
I haven't had a chance to pick up any other kind of clay nor do I have flour <i>(that would mean I bake)</i> in the house in order to make our own. So we have $20.00 worth of clay, with NO use for it.<br />
<br />
Tonight, while eating dinner (at the other half of the table not being consumed by the project) I asked the kids about their day. Lil' Man started to tell me about wood shop class and how his teacher <i>finally </i>operated one of the machines today instead of talking nonstop about his travels around the world. He then began to tell me about his P.E. teacher who is <i>obsessed</i> with everyone "suiting up" and his dreaded English class.<br />
<br />
As he was talking, I began to play with a piece of the clay, rolling it the way you'd roll a map. The end of it resembled a cinnamon roll. I showed the kids and they laughed.<br />
Now, it was Lil' Red's turn to tell me about the mean 5th grader who had a date with Karma. It was a tether ball match up that appeared to be lopsided. On one side Lil' Red's friend, a very meek, soft spoken girl - on the other, the Meany.<br />
<br />
By some cosmic payback to all that have been pushed around, the tether ball came off the pole, flew up in the air and managed to come down right on top of the mean girls head. I asked Lil' Red, "Do you know what that is?" she answered "Yep, Karma."<br />
<br />
Now of course I didn't stop there, we talked about what might be going on in mean girls life that would cause her to behave that way. We also talked about ways to handle any situation that might involve mean girls.<br />
<br />
By this time, I had rolled the clay into what looked like the handset part of an old telephone. I held it up to my ear and said "hello" again, everyone laughed.<br />
<br />
Mr. Treasures said "What can you make out of it?" and just like that we found a use for the clay.<br />
<br />
Lil' Man took the receiver part of my phone and came up with this<br />

I decided to FINALLY work out last night and let me tell you, THAT took <i>all </i>my effort!!<br />
<br />
Better late than never right?<br />
<br />
If you missed yesterdays Makeover Monday, you'll want to start <a href="http://treaures.blogspot.com/2011/03/makeover-monday.html">there</a>!<br />
<br />
Otherwise, here's the quick interview from a soon to be 10 year old and her outlook on "Living Creatively"<br />
<br />
Q) What made you decide to paint your clubhouse?<br />
<br />
A) What made me decide to paint it is that I want it to be a cool place to hang out and not be a dirty old thing in the back yard. <i>(I'm thinking we need to take better care of the backyard, how about you?)</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
Q) Can you tell us why you chose the colors you did?<br />
<br />
A) I chose those colors because they are cool, funky and fun so it won't be boring in there.<br />
<i>(Great reason. Who wants to be somewhere boring? Not me!)</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
Q) What do you think "Live Creatively" means?<br />
<br />
A) I think live creatively means to just have fun and to do things that you've never done.<br />
<i>(Can you imagine how great life would be if we didn't forget this as we grew up?)</i><br />
<br />
Q) What are other ways you can be creative in life besides crafts?<br />
<br />
A) I'm creative at school doing things my own ways. <i>(explains a lot)</i> I'm also creative the way I dress or when I play games.<br />
<br />
Q) Pick 3 words to describe yourself.<br />
<br />
A) Three words to describe myself would be cool, athletic and weird.<br />
<i>(I love that she views being "weird" as a good thing)</i><br />
<br />
Lil' Red really enjoyed answering these questions so I might have to do something like this more often.<br />
In fact I think it is a "creative" way to interact with your children!<br />
<br />
Thanks for taking the time to find out more about Lil' Red. She's definitely a character!<br />

Lil' Red came to me a few weeks ago and asked...<br />
<br />
"If I clean and take really good care of the club house, can I paint it?"<br />
<br />
Now, for others, this might warrant the same enthusiasm given the choice between PB & J or Turkey sandwich for lunch.<br />
<br />
But for me?<br />
<br />
This was the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">best </span>thing ever! She was able to see "outside" the box.<br />
<br />
She believed in her self and she <i>knew</i> she could make it better!<br />
<br />
And above all, she felt creativity and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">acted</span> on it.<br />
<br />
<b style="font-style: italic;">Dramatic? </b><br />
<br />
<b style="font-style: italic;"></b> Maybe just a tad, but outside of blogland, I see creativity squashed all around us.<br />
<br />
Young or old, I rarely see it nurtured. <br />
<br />
So of course my answer was "Yes!"<br />
<br />
She stuck to her word and cleaned the entire club house<br />
(never mind the fact that it took her approximately 40 swiffers and a bottle of pledge)<br />
<br />
Thus the Clubhouse Makeover began!<br />
<br />
She brought her supplies up...<br />

How fun is that?? <br />
<br />
She and her friends are so excited for the clubhouse makeover!<br />
<br />
Now that the paint is almost done, they are on the look out for bean bags and floor pillows.<br />
<br />
Something tells me I'll be getting hit up for an allowance soon!!<br />
