That's what Mark and I have been for the last couple of days! We are both in a bit of a rut at the moment, we are not really happy with where we are living, the weather is horrible, I am always tired - nothing major, just a bit fed up. So we decided to decorate, just a quick spruce up of the house to cheer us up and that is what we have been doing. We painted the lounge what was supposed to be a nice dull yellow but the paint has come out a nice sunshine colour!! It isn't too bright but after the dull beige walls we had before it is certainly cheering us up, we haven't quite got used to it yet. It is a work in progress at the moment because we are painting the fireplace white and that is not finished yet but here are a few pics to let you see what is going on here!!
The photos are quick snaps taken with my phone to show Mum today so they are not very good quality.
Mark has even started the kitchen! I am not entirely convinced about this though because our kitchen is currently painted red and I love it. Mark, however, thinks it looks dark and has started to paint it warm beige!! I may cry - this is what it looked like before he started painting.
As I keep saying, I have really enjoyed playing with the acrylic albums from Scrapping Clearly, here are some pictures of one of the albums I have created. I can't share the second one yet but I love it TEN times more than this one!
Well, I am going to watch whatever rubbish is on the TV tonight and to finish off the little scissor fob I am making.
Sarah I love your album!!!

Hi Sarah, you may not remember me but I have your blog in my faves & keep an eye on your creative progress ha ha! Felt compelled to comment as I think Mark should keep his mitts off the lovely red kitchen - no offence Mark! And you have the Chat Noir poster - I have that as a dish I bought from Charles de Gaulle Airport which I keep in the bathroom for miscellaneous girl stuff... Anyhow, love your blog - love your work daahling..... take care - see you sometime in the future no doubt!!! Janice xx
