<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its time for 15 minute fix. It really does amaze me what you can get done in 15 minutes! I was just sitting there looking around my house and out of the corner of my eye I could see the window sill in the lounge, it was bugging me. Every time I walked into this room it bugged me, yet I didn't really do anything about it. Well that just changed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This big plank of wood started out as the top of a old computer desk I pulled apart a few weeks ago. After looking at it for a couple of days thinking "hmmm I have an idea" it was time to just do it and after a couple of false starts this is the end result.</span><br />

Do you ever read peoples blogs and be all like man how are
they so perfect?? They are always dressed nice, house always clean and organized,
kids always dressed in nice clean clothes, healthy meals on the table. They just
have it all worked out!!<o:p></o:p></div>

Do you sit there like me and get utterly depressed about
it?? Thinking why can’t I get my act together just like her??? FML, woe is me…blah
blah blah.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well after much thought about this and thinking, hmmm how am
I going to be perfect?? I came to the conclusion that these people are not
perfect at all!!! They only show us a tiny snippet of their lives. They are only showing us what they want us to
see.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For every mum you see looking perfect on the school drop off
there are two more in their pjs. And while that mum might look flawless all the
time, her house could be a disaster, or she can’t cook worth a damn, or she may
not have a creative bone in her body. Maybe she is living with a mountains worth
of debt, even though she looks it, she is not perfect. We are all different and
that’s ok. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No I never look perfect…..Ever, my house is always a bit of
a mess, I’m a ok cook, I don’t host pintrest worthy birthday parties, and that’s
ok. I am clever and creative, I am for the most part a nice person and extremely
loyal to my friends and family, I am a fun mum, I run around play tag, let the
kids play face off and try and turn me into a zombie ,mess from paint, play
dough glitter doesn’t overly faze me. I let the kids play in mud get grubby and
could care less about the mess.<br />

Ok so I went on a bit of a rant there…lol anyway what I wanted
to say was we are all different and that’s
ok. Remember , people only show you what
they want to see. The grass may just be a shade or two lighter on the other
side of the fence. Don’t go wasting your time wishing you had what someone else
has.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
I LOVE elephants, always have, my first toy was a elephant I still have him, his name is smokey.<br />
<br />
I love polka dots, I don't know why but if it has dots on it I love it.<br />
<br />
I don't really have a favourite colour, but I do like pink.<br />
<br />
I LOVE books and reading too, I'm just adding that in there cos its a well known fact...LOL<br />
<br />
Have a fab day!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a family of 6 we spend a lot of money on food, our weekly
shopping bill would come to about $250. And that is not including the stuff I
forget and have to go and back for. So really if we are being completely honest,
I would say or weekly food bill comes to at least $350-400, That is for ONE
week, I haven’t really added up everything I spend in a week at the supermarket,
I am way to scared to do it, but man $400 a week on food is just CRAZY!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Times are tough, and although my husband has a good job we
can’t afford to be spending that much on bloody food each week!!! Summer is coming
and with it summer uniforms, I have birthdays to get ready for and also
Christmas will be here before I know it.
I would also like to have a bit of a life this summer, and maybe go on a
little family holiday!! I could do a

So a while ago (months, well before last Christmas) I was on a FB garage sale for my area and found this gem for only $50.</span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Only major problem with it was the colour!!! I mean look at it!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway this was originally going to be for my room and I had a big plan to strip it back to the wood and do it up all nice, but once I got started I found a bit of it had been filled with putty and even though 99% of it was perfect that 1 % would have looked odd, So away it went half striped into my room to be hidden away under a pile of clothes for a few months.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the draw crisis had reached its peak, Annabel needed a bigger set than she had, whats a Mum to do?? Something she really didn't want to that's for sure, Hall out the big half striped set and start all over again.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, will you look at that, a tidy room!! After I got started I found that 90% of the mess was clothes, clean ones at that!! I have had a big influx of clothes coming into the house the past couple of weeks from friends and so it was really great to sort out and get rid of even more stuff that Annabel had outgrown. Now everything fits in her draws and wardrobe shelf nicely!! And one more bag of crap has gone! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don’t know what it is about this room whether it is me or
her or both of us but it just will not stay clean and organized!!! Well a lot of it is me. I have been in a bit
of a funk the past few weeks and can’t seem to get much done, but come on it’s
not even my room!! if you remember a post from a couple of weeks ago, I said
this house isn’t going to change itself and after another woe is me day yesterday,
I woke up and thought its time I got on that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have had to re-remind myself of that fact. I will keep having
to remind myself of that. Crap isn’t going to change itself woman, get moving!!
And as my poker buddies like to say NOBODY CARES. No one wants to her your woe
is me stories so get over it and get shit done!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway to make myself get stuff done its time for some
before photos, all brutally honest and normal, there is no editing going on
here this is exactly how her room looked. And let’s face it most of you know I
have no shame, if me showing you me before photos makes you feel better or
helps you out in some way then hell, I am more than happy to do it!!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

to be really honest I didn’t ever think I would be able to do this. The craving
is still there, someday more than others, but I know I have gone this long I can
hold out and wait for the craving to pass and you know what??? It does, often with
in a minute of having the thought it’s gone.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim4p7h1W9yXw3E5Ctodm9xBg5Izt4uYQKbiW6vCvUAMgny3ekW9Vsq4DP418bhZ1xd6ABdR3UGUyAZaVOrGl6lXI_iOy1mL9QrqisajDLgqVhJtlIExseKEp6MXZIXKglvqFdeAWYXoII/s1600/1300657596692699_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim4p7h1W9yXw3E5Ctodm9xBg5Izt4uYQKbiW6vCvUAMgny3ekW9Vsq4DP418bhZ1xd6ABdR3UGUyAZaVOrGl6lXI_iOy1mL9QrqisajDLgqVhJtlIExseKEp6MXZIXKglvqFdeAWYXoII/s320/1300657596692699_large.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok people it is time to be brutally honest. I am not a good
blogger (I think we all know this already), I am not a good speller (I think we
all know this too) I am not a great cook or house wife and I am really not a
great poker player. But you know what I am doing it all anyway, and I really
want to get better at it all. I have decided that a new direction is needed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I first made this blog solely for my craft stuff but at some
point I started adding new things to it then I went back to crafting, and I
have just sort of flip flopped ever since. truth is that I don’t always craft
so I don’t always have crafty things to blog about, but I am always living my
life and have things to say, So why not
say them here!! So much has happened in the last 6 months I could have
told you guys all about, and I have just sat silent and being very blah! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a mother, wife, friend, crafter, reader, DIY enthusiast.
I am messy, unorganized and a lot of the times unmotivated. I am honest if not
with myself with you guys, I am not scared to show you my before pics no matter
how bad they are (ok so that’s a big fat
lie I am petrified) I am not perfect and I don’t come off as. I am a mess, I have
a couch full of washing (mostly clean) none of the beds in the house are made,
I haven’t unloaded the dishwasher this morning, and I haven’t brushed my hair. But
I’m here in the hopes that as I stumble and fall I can help a few of you get
your shit sorted too!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>First off <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">The house</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have decided I hate living in my house the way it is. It
is messy cluttered and untidy All the time and I’m over it, and guess what??? It’s
not going to change itself it’s up to me!! I can’t be doing the same stuff
everyday expecting different results, then complaining about it. So I am making
it my mission to do it up one room at a time. Starting with the master bedroom,
so keep an eye out for that very soon, the wallpaper striping has already begun!
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Next <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Look good feel good</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don’t bother dressing up most of the time and I only every
really wear makeup if I’m going out for the night or out to dinner, I’m
thinking it might be time to change that, I’m not meaning going full on Kim Kardashian
everyday but you know making an effort every now and then could be a good thing
and might just make me feel a little bit better about myself<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this is me now and the new direction I am going to be
taking with this blog. I will still be posting crafty stuff as I do it but now
it will just be mixed in with a lot of other awesomeness!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It also may be a time for a bit of a makeover!! what do you recon??</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for reading Jennie</span></div>
