Foster Puppies!: January 2009

Favorite Rooms

A photo collage of some of my favorite rooms. I don't have the photo credits...*fear*

I have been working on this dresser that I got on Craigslist for $20...

It still needs another coat of paint and some new knobs, but I have already filled the drawers. It is so nice to have some extra storage for the kids craft supplies.

Now I am on the hunt for a bookcase. I would like to find a used one made out of real wood, so I can avoid whatever chemicals the Ikea kind release.

Since last time I got bored, I foisted nine puppies on Tim, he is being remarkably supportive of my second-hand furniture habit!

Perspective

I piled all of my laundry on the floor downstairs to try to force myself to get it done.

I guess the dogs thought I had finally come to my senses and gotten them an awesome dog bed.

“Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children in your beautiful little house where you have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you. Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.” -Rich Mullins
