This week is “Spring Break” and the kids really looked forward to long lazy, sunny days to just kick back. Instead it is wet and dreary. Nicholas keeps busy with his skateboard, either riding it or unscrewing the wheels and banging on the things that hold the wheels - whatever it is that boys DO.

Lexi and I decided to revamp an old mirror that she has in her room. We’ve been planning to paint it, but yesterday took the plunge to really make it fun.

First we cleaned all the hairspray, stickers, old paint and built-up gunk off the glass and the frame.

Then we cut strips of coordinating scrapbook paper and applied with Mod Podge. We cut some of the edges with zig-zag or scalloped scissors.

Lexi picked some cute sayings to personalize it even more.

We also made it uniquely “hers”.

We hung it up to dry, but still need another coat or two to finish sealing it.

This is an older picture of her in her room.
