Free Photo to Canvas!

As I look around my home, I am realizing that we have very few photos on our walls. I love when I enter a home and I see all these family photos…it’s so nice! My home, is just the opposite and I need to do something about it and soon!

I do have a few photos on my bookshelves but they are small. I think I want something fairly large to hang on the wall in the den. I have quite a few photos I would like to use. I am tempted to have a photo enlargement of Gus done but I really don’t want my other children to feel like he is more important. I just miss him and would love to have a larger photo of him for my walls.

Another option…and a much better option…is to enlarge a photo of all the kids. I only have a few of all of them together. There is a really special one from my birthday a few years ago. I think that may be the one I use! If not, then maybe I can enlarge 4 separate photos…but then there’s Pete…I can’t leave him out! Oh, all the decisions….it’s too hard to decide! Lol

Fortunately for me, I am going to be receiving a 16X20 canvas for absolutely FREE! That will make a nice start toward making my home more warm and friendly!! Neat!

New Curtains

I need some new curtains. Well actually, I need quite a few pairs of curtains!

Now, I could make my own but, ya know, I also can buy ready-made curtains and save a lot of time. Besides, I can never ever measure anything right and I’m sure if I made my own curtains they would look quite wonky! Lol!!

Now…to decided on colors….

I Like Panic Buttons!

There was a time when the keys to my minivan held a very small black box with two red buttons...my panic button and the button to deactivate the alarm. Fortunately, I never had to use my panic button...I have had to deactivate the alarm a lot though! If you have children, you can relate to what I am saying!! I liked having this little personal alarm with me because it made me feel safer and a little more in control.

Recently, I have discovered LaserSheild Security Systems and I think this company's security system is certainly worth checking into. I figured that the starter system and monthly monitoring fees would be very expensive like other security systems but I was surprised to find that it is not! This system plugs into your existing phone jack and includes many features...a panic button, an alarm ( which is great for scaring away burglars) and it is pet friendly just to name a few. I think this system would be great for dorm rooms or for when you are traveling. It's nice to have that added security!

Lasershield is available nationwide at retailers such as K-Mart and Home Depot.
