Maedeup Monday and a Giveaway!

I haven't had a "Maedeup Monday" for a long time so this post was long overdue.  I was organizing my craftroom when I found some garakji maedeups that were probably meant for earrings at some point.  I also had a stash of beadpens and my mind thought that these would go together and they do.  It took only minutes to put together and I love the results.

I also haven't done a giveaway for a long time so I'm going to remedy that also.  Just leave a comment here on this blogpost and you will be eligible to win the beadpen.  I will choose the winner this Friday at 10:00 CST.

Rocketman is taking a little rest today.  He spent the weekend painting one of our bathrooms.  I want to remove all the wallpaper in the house and paint.  So all we (or I should say he) has left to do is the master bedroom, downstairs bathroom and kitchen.  I removed the wallpaper but that's only a small part of the job.  He washes the walls twice, fills the holes and paints the walls twice.  It will take awhile to complete all of this work but I'm loving the blue paint in the bathroom.  I'll post a picture when it's finished.

I've been spending a lot of time in the yard, pulling weeds and trimming trees and bushes.  It's amazing how wild the yard got while we were in South Korea.
