OK. So I am not a painter, but I think it will work. One time my mom explained her Dad (who I never really had the opportunity of knowing) as being a "jack of all trades, master of none". As I was working on this tree I thought about that description and felt like I could relate. I enjoy doing a lot of different things, or at least trying. However, I have never felt like I have found one specific thing that I am just really good at. Some could call it being...."well rounded". And I am ok with that. Anyway...I decided one day a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to re-do the girls' playroom area. Nothing jaw-dropping, but just give it a little spice. I decided I wanted to paint a tree on the wall. I am really, really in love with the blue paint I picked. I always get a little nervous about picking out paint and I was worried that it was going to be lighter than I wanted, but when it dried it was the most perfect beautiful shade of blue. Exactly what I had envisioned. I think it's called "Crystal Aqua" by Valspar (in case anyone cares). Did I mention that I LOVE this color? I want to wrap myself up in it!
Originally, I wanted to wait until Christmas Eve night to paint the tree, but in a moment of... "emotion" yesterday (yep, on Sunday!) I decided to just get started, even if the girls were watching. Thank goodness, because it took me quite a while. So, I will wait to put the blossoms (which Katelyn has declared must be pink) on until Christmas Eve night and then I have a few other new things to add as well, but you (my faithful followers...anyone out there???), along with my girlies will have to wait. It may not be the best or fanciest playroom out there, but I think my girls will love it, so that will make me happy enough.

Very cute! And you are very good at many things!
Your girls are pretty lucky to have a mom like you. I can't wait to see what the tree will look like with blossoms!
Okay, so I was accidently logged on as "Jason" which is my husbands google account. Oops! Just so you know, it was me, not him that made that comment, lol!
I so want a tree for Lola's room but I am not brave enough for the attempt I am looking forward to seeing the end result.
That is very cute....
You are one ambitious lady, to plan to do that on Christmas Eve!
I think many people would love to have just one of your artistic, musical, or cooking talents. That tree looks great, can't wait to see the blossoms.
Can't wait to see you guys!!! Hugs!
